DAVIS' PERFECT CUCUMBER. 



A new variety, which will soon take the place of the best 

 strains of White Spine and other desirable Cucumbers. For 

 several years this variety has been controlled by the originator, 

 who is one of the leading market gardeners in the West, and 

 after whom the variety is named. Mr. Davis slates that he 

 experimented several years in trying to get an improved strain 

 of- Cucumber for forcing under glass and outside culture, and 

 has finally fixed a '■^Perfect" type, combining quality, shnpe, 

 color and productiveness. The Cucumbers grow long and 

 slim, sometimes measure 12 inches in length ; the color is a 

 rich, dark, glossy green, which they hold until nearly ripe, 

 when they turn while without a sign of yellow. It is very 

 tender, brittle and of fine flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 Ccs.; 

 i lb., 45 cts.; lb., §1..50 



PEEP-O'-DAY 



S^WEET CORN. 



Originating in the far North, this variety is 

 therefore extremely early in maturing. Besides 

 this very important feature it is a " Sweet Corn''^ in 

 the true sense of the word, being remarkably 

 sweet and tender. The stalks grow about three 

 and one-half feet high and are unusually prolific, 

 producing from two to five ears each, which meas- 

 ure about five inches in length and are well filled. 

 Pkt.. 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts. (postpaid, 30 cts.) ; qt., 

 40 cts. (postpaid, 50 cts); 4 qts., $1.40; peck, 

 $2.25. 



ADMIRAE TOGO 



MUSKMELON. 



This new variety is really an orange-fleshed 

 netted Gem, or Rocky Ford, being of the same 

 type both in size and appearance and having the 

 beautiful netting of these varieties. The Melons 

 are not too large, as is the case with nearly all 

 other orange-fleshed sorts, but are of a medium 

 size, most desirable for serving in halves. The 

 orange flesh insures delicious flavor, and in the 

 "Admiral Togo " it is thick and meaty, having a 

 very small seed cnvitv. Pkt , 10 cts.; oz., 20 ct<;.; 

 \ lb, 50 cts.; lb., $1.75.

A new variety from Germany, where it is a great favorite. 

 It is very early, and being hardy will stand considerable cold, 

 damp weather. It can be planted out of doors or under glass, 

 and in either case will produce fine, solid heads much. sooner 

 than any other variety. The outer leaves are yellowish-green, 

 tinged with brown, while inside it is rich golden-yellow. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.
