IMPROVED ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER— extra selected stock 



A marked improvement over all other strains of White Spine, and, since its introduction a few 

 years ago, it has proven a most profitable variety with all truckers who have grown it, bringing better 

 prices in the Philadelphia, Boston and New York markets than any other variety. The vine is very 

 hardy, and its earliness has been developed until the first fruit is ready for shipment a week or more in 

 advance of the best White Spine. The color is a clear rich green, brilliant and permanent to an extra- 

 ordinary degree. Its shapely form is well shown in our photograph above. In productiveness, it ranks 

 first, the cucumbers being set in profusion, close to the hill, and of unequalled symmetry and uniformity. 

 While this is the best sort for market and shipping, there is no better variety for the home garden.

NEW ESKIMOSO — The Earliest Cucumber in Cultivation. 



This wonderful new cucum- 

 ber originated with Chauncey 

 P. Coy, of Nebraska, who is 

 probably the largest and most 

 experienced producer of cu- 

 cumber and other vines in the 

 United Slates. Mr. Coy writes 

 its history as follows: "We 

 first found a single specimen 

 in a crop of Siberian while 

 g-ivthering pickles. It was dead 

 ripe, dark and rusty, indicat- 

 ing such great earliness that 

 we saved the seed, and have 

 bred it up by years of careful 

 selection. In comparing it 

 with Early Russian, we tind 

 it ready for use a good week 

 ahead of that heretofore 

 earliest known sort. The vines 

 are dwarfish; it sets close to 

 the hill and needs but little 

 space to grow. Its excellent 

 quality and extreme earliness 

 are its great merits." Pkt.,
