(ies PICKLE. 
NICHOL’S MEDIUM GREEN.—A handsome variety, in shape between Early White 
Spine and Long Green. Worthy of a high place in the list of pickling sorts, and second to none 
for slicing when mature. Useful for forcing. Color dark green. Flesh crisp and tender. Size 
medium. Always straight and smooth, and uniform in appearance. Grown largely for sup- 
plying pickle factories. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25. 
261 WESTERFIELD’S CHICAGO PICKLING.—This variety is preferred above all others 
by some of the largest pickling establishments in Chicago and elsewhere. It is one of the best 
for the purpose, combining almost every good quality, and being alike satisfactory to grower and 
pickle maker. I have a choice strain of this seed. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 15c.3 14 Ib., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 
262 PERFECTED JERSEY PICKLE.—A decidedly improved strain of the old reliable 
Jersey Pickle. It originated in the pickle growing district in Burlington county, N. J., where this 
business is carried on toa greater extent than elsewhere in the United States. It is a choice, 
thoroughbred strain, producing cucumbers uniform in size, with thin skin, 2) 
white flesh and few seeds; very crisp and tender in quality, and having the 
valuable everbearing habit largely developed. The truckers’ favorite. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25. 
263 EARLY GREEN CLUSTER.—This is a short, pale green variety, 
maturing early. It is rather prickly and contains few seeds. The fruit is

borne in clusters near the root; it is a favorite for pickling on account of 
its great productiveness. 
Pkt., 5€.; 02., 15¢.3; 14 Ib., 40.5 Ib., $1.25. 
2644 COOL AND 
CRISP.—An extra 
early and exceedingly 
\ prolific variety. At the 
\ pickling age the fruit 
j is Straight, long, even 
and slim, and until it 
reaches full size it is of 
a very dark green or 
almost black color. 
The knobs bearing the 
spines are prominent 
at all stages of growth, 
giving the cucum- 
ber a characteristic 
appearance. A fine 
table variety, ten- 
der and crisp. Pkt.,

THORBURN’S EVERBEARING CUCUMBER. 
266 THORBURN’S EVERBEARING.—This is a unique 
and highly meritorious pickling variety; meritorious because 
of its quality, and unique in its ability to go right on bearing, 
whether the ripened cucumbers are picked or not. It is enor- 
mously productive and a general favorite. Fruits of every age 
and also blossoms may be found on a single vine and bearing 
continues until the coming of frost. A favorite for pickles. 
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; Ib., $1.25. 
SMALL GHERKIN. 
PARISIAN PICKLING CUCUMBER. 
267 PARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely 
distinct cucumber is, as its name implies, of 
French origin, and yields beautiful miniature 
pickles. They are preferably picked when 
quite young and small, in order to preserve 
their peculiar appearance, as they become 
smoother when approaching maturity. They 
are deep green in color, very prickly, with flesh 
that is always firm and brittle. The vines are 
excessively productive, being covered with the 
curious little fruits, which make nice pickles. 
Packet, 10 cents; oumce, 25 cents. 
FRAME CUCUMBER. 
268 SHORT GREEN OR EARLY 
HRAME.—An old sort still in favor, and used 
for pickles. It is of medium size straight and 
handsome. At maturity is a good table cu- 
cumber. Packet, 5 cents; oumce, 15 cents;

SNAKE CUCUMBER. 
271 SNAKE.—Lhis cucumber is curious as 
well as useful. I have seen it 6 feet in length, 
coiled like a serpent. It is an interesting thing 
in the garden. Packet, 10 cts.; oumce, 25 cts.

JAPANESE CLIMBIN 
272 JAPANESE CLIMBING.—A1l cucum- 
bers are of trailing or creeping habit, but this 
one is a real climber and does best on pole or 
| trellis. It comes into bearing quickly, and sets 
| its fruit constantly throughout the season. The 
| fruit is of excellent quality, of dark green col- 
or. The flesh is pure white and never bitter. 
My reports of this cucumber in connection 
with my own experience enable me to recom- 
mend it as a valuable and interesting sort. 
Packet, 10 cts.; oumce, 20 cts.; 14 1h., 60 cts. 
273 SMALL GHEREIN.—A curious, 
rough, little cucumber, used exclusively for 
pickling, for which purpose it is in high favor. 
Packet, 10 cents.; ounce, 25 cents.
