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 

 claimed ; 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 0. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the 

 <eed 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 cucumber and is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps 

 green so long. I am willing to stand by eveiy 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. Packet, 10 CtS.J Ounce, 15 CtS.; quarter pound, 50 CtS.J pOUtld, $1.50.

Klondike Cucumber. 



A variety of the white spine type which holds its attractive dark green color long after picking ; a quality that will be 

 appreciated by market gardeners and shippers. When of suitable size for shipping it averages 6 to 7 inches. Its other 

 good qualities are its ex- 

 treme earliness and proli- 

 ficness. Very hard)', resist- 

 ing unfavorable weather 

 conditions; very dark 

 green color, attractive 

 shape and is a good size 

 for slicing cucumbers. It 

 is also quite firm when 

 small and is excellent for 

 pickling. A most profit- 

 able sort for shipping to 

 distant markets.
