erfected Jersey 

 ickle Cucumber 



For many years we have supplied pickle seed to many prominent 

 New Jersey growers in the celebrated pickle district on the Delaware 

 River, about twenty-five miles above Philadelphia, where more cucum- 

 bers are grown than in any other section of the United States, over one 

 hundred and fifty thousand bushels being picked and annually put up 

 for commercial pickles in this section. 



For this reason we have given unusual attention to the selection and 

 improvement of cucumber seed for pickles, and in this new strain, which 

 is the result of nine years' careful breeding, we have a strain which is 

 pronounced by growers of 30 years' experience a perfect pickle in 

 all respects. Its desirable form and uniform size are well shown in the 

 above photograph. The skin is thin, flesh white, crisp and tender, with 

 but few seeds. The vines are strong and vigorous, bearing continu- 

 ously and long after all other varieties have ceased to produce. Pkt.,

New Sweet Com 

 Early Evergreen* ♦ 



As is well known, the famous Evergreen Sweet Corn originated over 

 twenty years ago with Mr. Stowell, a grower for Philadelphia markets ; 

 but while one of the best late varieties, no efiFort has ever been made to 

 improve it in earliness until now. In the New !Early i^vergreen we 

 have a selection possessing every good quality of Stowell's Evergreen and 

 resembling it in every respect except that the stalk is about one foot 

 shorter, more closely jointed, and that it will mature for market in 

 80 days, or fully 10 days earlier. Could anything better be wished for ? 

 And we can, without qualification, recommend it as the very best sugar 

 corn in existence. That is high praise, but we believe it.
