NEW SHAMROCK CUCUMBER. 



New Shamrock Cucumber. 



ALWAYS GREEN. 



There are many varieties of White Spine Cucumber for which this characteristic of being always green has been 

 Mjlaflmed; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator of Shamrock has this to say: "Some years ago 

 growing two acres of cucumbers for pickles, I found three cucumbers that were green while the rest were yellow. I cut 

 these three cucumbers and found them dead ripe. I saved the seed and planted it the next year by itself, growing some 

 for pickling, and found it O. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the 

 seed again from a green cucumber with a perfect result. The cucumber is dark green, good shape, about like Jersey 

 pickle, turns light green when dead ripe. It is a good table cucum- 

 ber and is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps green so 

 long. I am willing to stand by every claim, and if there is another 

 such cucumber I do not know of it." It is needless to say that 

 Shamrock, if it does as well the country over as it has done where 

 it originated, and on my trial grounds, will make a name for itself 

 everywhere:

New Neapolitan Pepper 



I originally named and first offered 

 Neapolitan in 1903. The earliest of 

 all peppers by a week to ten days. 



If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this pepper 

 would still be unknown. Five years ago my attention was attracted 

 to the fact that a few Italian gardeners located near Panmure, were 

 shipping peppers by the carload one to three weeks earlier than any 

 other peppers could be shipped ; and on investigation I found that 

 for years a small settlement of Italians situated a few miles from mv 

 farm had been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou- 

 sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapolitan proved 

 itself to be two weeks earlier than any other. When, in addition to 

 this fact, we had good size and mild, piquant flavor, I decided I had 

 secured a money maker. Plants are of strong growth, very stocky 

 and peppers are borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. 

 Flesh is very thick and fruit is of a beautiful red color, tops being 

 capped with white which turns a brilliant red. If my customers 

 want a fine pepper fi-om one to three weeks ahead of their neighbors, 

 they must plant Neapolitan. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 50 cts.; quarter pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00.
