NEW SHAMROCK CUCUMBER. 
New Shamrock Cucumber. 
Always Green When Other Varieties Turn White, Yellow and all Colors of the Rainbow. 
This new cucumber comes to me from Michigan, right in the midst of the pine woods, where the originator 
has been growing it for years. There are many varieties of White Spine cucumber for which this characteris- 
tic of being always green has been claimed; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator 
of Shamrock has this to say: “I was in the pickle business for 14 years, and grew my own seed for 6 years. The 
stock seed that produced this new cucumber was Jersey pickle, and was grown by the side of Osage melons. 
In the production of my stock seed the next summer I grew two acres, growing some for another pickle com- 
pany. In this two acres of seed 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 feund that a few turned partly yellow when ripe; these I dis- 
carded and planted the seed again from the 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 cucumber and 
is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps always green. 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 in Michigan, where it originated, and on my trial grounds, will be the coming 
cucumber that will make a name for itself everywhere. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 cts.; 1b., $2.50. 
NEW NEAPOLITAN PEPPER. 
Without Exception the Earliest of all Pep- 
pers by a Week to Ten Days. 
A Money Makcr from the Word Go. 
If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed 
Farms this pepper would still be unknown. The 
first year I located in New Jersey my superin- 
tendent’s attention was attracted to the fact 
that a few Italian 
peppers by the carload to New York, Boston, 
Philadelphia and even Chicago, one to three 
weeks earlier than any other pepper could be 
shipped. 
naturally attracted his attention, and on inves- 
tigation, he found that for years a small settle- 
ment of Italians, situated a few miles from my 
farm had been shipping these peppers to market 
and realizing thousands of dollars profit from 
their sales. With considerable difficulty I 
secured a small quantity of the seed at an ex- 
travagant price. This was planted at Panmure 
with our trials of other peppers, and Neapolitan 
proved itself to be two weeks earlier than any 
other pepper we planted. This was sufficient 
recommendation for any vegetable, but when 
mild, piquant flavor, I decided we had secured a 
treasure ang a money maker. Plants are of 
strong growth, very stocky and peppers are 
borne erect, averaging the size of the illustra- 
tion opposite. 
of a beautiful red color, tops being capped with 
white which turns a brilliant red. Now if my 
customers want a fine pepper from one to three 
weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant 
Neapolitan. Supply of seed is still limited, and 
I can offer it by the packet and ounce only. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 75 cents. 

Panmure Extra Early Lima Bean. 
Not Entirely New, 
as I First Offered it in 1903. 
This new lima bean is from California, which 
State has, of recent years, become known as the 
greatest lima bean district in the world. It rep- 
resents the careful selection for many years of 
one of the best growers of lima beans I Know of. 
By selecting the earliest pods year after year, he 
has secured a bean that is positively two weeks 
earlier than any other. Beans are as large as 
the ordinary large lima, pods containing five

and six beans. 
It comes in bearing early in 
July and bears right up to frost. 
It is so good 

that I have decided to put the name of my New 
Jersey trial grounds to it. At Panmure last 
year, tested alongside of thirty other varie- 
ties, it proved one to two weeks earlier than the 
earliest of them. I regret to Say my supply is 
still so limited that I can offer it only in small 
quantities. Packet, 15 cents; pint, 50 cents.
