BOSS CUCUMBERS 
AULE’S EARLY WHITE SPINE.—This beautiful Cucumber cannot le 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 to7 inchesin length, and 2 to 3 inches 
in diameter. The accompanying engraving is an exact illustration of an average specimen. They 
are always 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 flesh is always tender, crisp 
and of excellent flavor. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents; 44 lb., 30 cents; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $3.00. 
MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG 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 
Q \ we 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, 15 cents ; 14 Ib., 30 cents; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $3.00. 
GREEN PROLIFIC.—The very finest 
pickling Cucumber. Of the very best form and 
quality, yielding at the rate of 200,000 and more 
pickles per acre, of remarkable uniformity. 
It is ome of the most valuable improve= 
ments in its class, and gives satisfaction. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce,'10 cents; 44 pound, 
20 cents; pound, 65 cents.

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 
of a leathery-brown color, They are very thick through, and perfectly 
round. They are fit to eat at any stage, flesh is entirely white, very clear, 
peculiarly crisp, tender and brittle, with very few seeds and free from the 
obnoxious green cucumber taste. The seed cavity is remarkably s 
and the seeds are slow to Ee 
form. Pkt., 10 cts., oz 
15 ets.; 44 1b., 40 et 
Ib., $1.25. 
t Remember, all Garden Seeds are delivered FREE, except
