BOSS CUCUMBERS 



4MAUIiE'S EARLY WHITE SPINE This beautiful Cucumber cannot be praised 

 too highly. As a table sort it is unsurpassed, and in productiveness it is truly remarkable. 

 In 1887 one of my customers gathered, between June and September, over 1.000 Cucumbers 

 from a single hill containing three vines. Fruit grows from 5 to 7 inches in length, and 2 to 3 inches 

 in diameter. The accompanying engraving is an exact illustration of an average specimen. They 

 are alwavs as handsome as shown in the cut, being uniformly straight, of a rich green color, with 

 few White Spines. It is one of the very best for forcing purposes. The Sesh is alwavs tender, crisp 

 and of excellent flavor. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents; % lb., 30 cents; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., 83.00. 

 IBAULE'S IMPROVED IX>NG GREEN.— I am confident in describing this variety, no 

 words of praise can be too strong for its merits. They are always of superior quality, firm and crisp, 



growing 12 to 20 inches long. The young fruit makes one of the 



best of pickles while when ripe they are the best of any for 



sweet pickles. Vines are strong growers, and fruit is always 



produced in great abundance, making it one of the most 



productive varieties in cultivation. Packet, 10 cents; 



ounce. IS cents ; % lb., 40 cents : lb., 81.10 ; 5 lb- 



GREEN PRO^IPIC-The very finest 

 pickling Cucmnber. Of the very best form and

 ments In Its class, and gives satisfaction.

GIANT PERA.— Vines are strong growers, cucumbers 

 early ; very close set together near the hill, so much so that it 

 is one of, if not the most productive long cucumber at pres- 

 ent known. The cucumbers grow very smooth and straight 

 the skin is a beautiful green, perfectly smooth, free from spines and 

 retains its clear green color until nearly ripe, when the skin becomes 

 oi a leathery-brown color. They are very thick through, and perfectly 

 round. They are fit to eat at any stage, flesh is entirely while, very dear, 

 peculiarly crisp, tender and brittle, with very few seeds and free from the 

 obnoxious green cucumber taste. The seed cavity is remarkably small, 

 and the seeds are slow to 

 form. Pkt., 10 cts., oz 

 15cts.; \i lb., 40 cts.; 

 lb., $1.25.
