JERSEV 

 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 

 aiicing 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.; % pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.35. 



WESTERPIELD'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. Pitt., 5c; ox., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



PERFECTED JERSEY PICKLE A decidedly improved strain of the old reliable Jersey 



Pickle. It originated in the great pickle growing district in Burlington county, N. J., where this 

 business is carried on to a greater extent than elsewhere in the United States. It is a choice, 

 thoroughbred strain, producing cucumbers uniform in size, with thin skin, 

 white flesh and few seeds; very crisp and tender in quality, and having the 

 valuable everbearing habit largely developed. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 1.5 cents; % pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25. 



EARLY GREEN CLUSTER.— This is a short, pale green variety, which 

 matures 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., 5c; ox., 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



COOL AND CRISP. 

 — An extra early and 

 exceedingly prolific 

 variety. At the pick- 

 ling age the fruit 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., 

 5c; ox., 15c; '^ lb., 

 40c; lb., $1.25. 



EVERGREEN. 



— This cucumber 

 differs from my 

 Early White Spine 

 in retaining a deep 

 green color at all 

 stages of Its growth. 

 It is long, very pro- 

 ductive, and ma- 

 tures early. Its de- 

 sirable color and 

 handsome appear- tvhKOKttiN. 

 ance make it a general favorite, either 

 for table use, for market, or for pick- 

 ling. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 15 cents; \4 pound, 40 cents;

 rections are printed

THORBURN'S EVERBEARING. 



THORBURN'S EVERBEARING — This is a very 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. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 

 15 cts.; % pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25. 



PARISIAN PICKLING.— This entirely dl«- 

 tiiict 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. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents.

 At maturity is a good table cucumber. Pkt., 

 5 cts.; ox., 15 cts.; % lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



SNAKE. 



SNAKE.— This cucumber is curious as well 

 as useful. I have seen it six feet in length, 

 coiled like a serpent. It is an interesting thing 

 in the garden. Packet, 10 cents. 



SMALL GHERKIN. 



JAPANESE CLIMBING. 



JAPANESE CLIMBING. — All cucumbers 

 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 color. The 

 flesh is pure white and never bitter. My re- 

 ports of this cucumber in connection with my 

 own experience enable me to recommend it as 

 a valuable and interesting sort. Packet, 

 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents. 



SMALL GHERKIN — -A curious, rough, lit- 

 tle cucumber, used exclusively for pickling, 

 for which purpose it is in high favor. Packet,
