jlM's Extra Early UumW. 



This new Cucumber is a cross between Early 

 Russian and Green Prolific. Fully as early as the 

 former, while it combines all the fine pickling 

 qualities of the latter. Always grows uniformly, and 

 wonderfully productive ; seldom, if ever, produces a 

 cucumber too large for pickling, That celebrated 

 grower of Cucumbers, E. L. Coy, of Washington Co., 

 N. Y., writes : "It not only makes a standard com- 

 mercial pickle, but in its younger and smaller state 

 it is a perfect gem for bottling. Its extreme earliness, 

 in addition to its many other good qualities, will 

 make it of great value to market-gardeners for 

 bottling or commerce." IP YOU WANT the 

 Earliest Cucumber you have ever grown 

 you must plant Maule's Extra Early.

piaufs's Earliest Wfyite Turnip BadisI). 



This strain of White Turnip Radish is unquestion- 

 ably the earliest of all white Radishes. It is identical, 

 excepting color, to Maule's Earliest Scarlet, and this 

 will be sufficient to recommend it to every gardener 

 who receives this catalogue. It has a remarkably 

 small top, and its pure white flesh is at all times 

 very crisp and tender. Frequently matures 

 in less than three weeks from sowing, being 

 several days, in fact more than a week, earlier than 

 the old Early White Turnip. As earliness and fine 

 crisp flavor are two of the greatest qualifications any 

 Radish can have, this strain of White Turnip Radish 

 is sure to make a popular and profitable name for 

 itself. The only sort that any where approaches it }n 

 earliness is the Philadelphia White Box, and it takes 

 an extra good strain of the Box Radish to mature as 

 early. With my market gardener's trade it is bound 

 to be a great success, and it will prove equally 

 desirable for the home garden.

^.YOSEMITE • 



The Yosemite Valley in California is known the country over as one of the wonders of the world. The 

 Yosemite Mammoth Wax Bean was named after the valley on this account, for it is certainly one «>f the 

 wonders of the Bean family. No other dwarf Bush Bean can anywhere near approach it in size, the pods 

 being more often 8 to 9 inches long than 5 to 6 inches, and as thick as a man's finger. It is really a distinct new 

 type of the dwarf wax sorts, that in the near future may lead to many important improvements in this very 

 popular vegetable. The pods are nearly all solid meat, the seeds being very small when the beans are fit for use. 

 The pods are a rich golden yellow color, and are absolutely stringless, always cooking tender and delicious. It 

 is enormously prolific, and is unquestionably one of the specialties of the year that no one should neglect 

 to include In tin-it- order, particularly If you wish to show your neighbors pods of a bush bean 

 twice as long and thick as they ever dreamed of.

COUNTRY GENTL6MKN, or IMPR0M6D SHOE P6G. 



My customers well know what I have thought for many years of Shoe Peg, consequently Improved Shoe Peg is 

 worthy of a great deal of praise. In describing the Improved Peach Tomato, I made the statement that the 

 improvement consisted in the increase in size ; the same may be said in reference to the Country Gentleman. The 

 one fault with the Shoe Peg has been that it did not grow large enough. In the Country Gentleman this fault has 

 been completely overcome, the ears being of large size, while frequently three or four ears are to be found on a 

 single stalk. The cob is remarkably small, giving great depth to the kernel, while in delicious quality it is equal 

 in all respects to the old Shoe Peg, than which there is no better. For the family garden, nothing can surpass, in 

 my opinion, the Country Gentleman, as it combines all the good qualities found in any Sugar Corn, namely : 

 medium earliness, large size ear, (illustration below %size), greatdepth of kernel, and above every thing else, deli- 

 cious flavor. No order this season should fail to include Country Gentleman, as no praise is tuo high for its merits.
