MAULE’S EXTRA EARLY CUCUMBER. | 
_This excellent and attractive new cucumber, is a cross between Early Russian and Green Pro- ' 
lific. It has the desirable quick maturing features of the former and the well known and justly |, 
esteemed pickling qualities of the latter. The cucumbers attain.a uniform size just suited to ' 
| pickling, and it is also perfectly adapted to table.use. It is regarded by those acquainted with | 
it, as a perfect gem for bottling in its young state. The vines are of extra vigorous growth, with 
leaves of a dark green color, and are enormously productive. Tbe mature fruit retains its color | 
a long time after removal from the vine, and is well suited to general market purposes. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 144 pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00.

THE EMERALD CUCUMBER. 
This new cucumber originated by Mr. Miesse presents strong claims to popular favor. In 
color it is a rich, dark green. It has the ability to hold its desirable color long after being 
picked. The skin is almost free of both warts and spines, and is nearly aS smooth and hand- 
some as the famous English forcing types. It is entirely evergreen, in that retains its color 
from the time of setting until full maturity. The vines begin to bear early. It is suitable for 
pickling at any stage of growth, and is admirably adapted to forcing under glass, as it isa 
prime shipper. Its table quality is unexcelled. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz. ,15 cts.; 14 1b., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 
I Will P to the customer who sends me (by mail or express charges prepaid) on or |

before Nov. 1, 1900, the largest and finest specimen of Hmerald Cucumber 
grown from seed purchased of me this year. 
NEW YORK LETTUCE. 
This is one of the largest known forms of 3 
head lettuce, the plants sometimes attain- B 
ing a diameter of 18 inches. It is almost 4 
wholly unaffected by hot weather. Its table ¥) 
quality is excellent. In its largest develop- | 
ment it has the size and nearly the weight ,_| 
ofa cabbage. It blanches well, and is crisp, | 














KENDEL’S EARLY GIANT 
Kendel’s Early Giant Sweet Corn. 
My careful tests of this new sweet corn con- 
vince me of its sterling merit, and I take pleas- 
ure in listing it in my catalogue and offering 
it to the public. The ears measure 8 to 10 inches 
long and have 10 to 18 rows of grains. The ma- 
jority of the ears are 12 rowed. In color the ker- 
nels are pure white, and are very sweet, tender 
and palatable. Kendel’s Early Giant is a pro- 
lific variety, and matures its ears in from 60 to 
72 days, depending on location and character 
of soil. On warm, sandy land the ears are 
ready in 60 days, while on heavy, clay land the 
period of growth is longer. The large, well 
filled and highly palatable ears should com- 
mand a quick sale in any market where there 
is a demand for really choice early sweet corn, 
and I recommend this variety to market gar- 
deners as well as for use on the home table. In 
many localities there is, commercially speak- 
ing, a high cash premium on the first really 
good sweet corn with large ears that can be 
produced, and I think Kendel’s Early will 
meet the requirements of the case and prove 
very satisfactory and profitable. The illustra- 
tion above is taken from a photograph and 
shows accurately the shape of the grains and 
the general characteristics of the ear, except- 
ing the size, which is much reduced. PKt., 10c.; 
pt., 25c., qt., 40c., postpaid. Pk., $1.00; bu., $3.50. 






tender and sweet. It has no bitter taste » 
whatever. It is slowto run to seed. Itis © 
not a forcing variety, but a most excellent e 
)» market lettuce for midsummer, as custo- &| 
mers are sure to demand more of it. It has | 
been recorded by the introducers that 26 6 
7 heads of New York lettuce filled an ordi- *|

pressed hard. See illustration. Packet,

NEW YORK LETTUCE. 
CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 
A beautiful new lettuce of the cabbage 
type. The solid heads are of immense size, 
and so tender and brittle as to account for 
the name bestowed upon the variety. The 
leaves are thick and glossy, and somewhat 
curled, of a green color, yariegated with 
bronze. The head has a rich, creamy yellow 
heart. This lettuce cannot be over praised 
for home use in spring and summer, but it 
is rather too brittle for market. It must 
have plenty of room in the row, on account 
of its size. One of the best head lettuces 
ever grown, either for sowing early in hot- 
beds for transplanting or for sowing in the 
open ground for summer use. I am confi- 
dent Crisp-as-Ice will give a good accovnt of
