W-r- CHOiCE VEGETABLE SEED 



NEW CUCUMBER 

 « CUMBERLAND." 



This handsome Cucumber is the 

 Tesult of eight years' careful breed- 

 ing by one of the leading growers 

 in the United States. It is a cross 

 ■of Parisian Pickle and Peerless 

 White Spine, the successful combi- 

 nation of these two varieties mak- 

 ing an ideal variety both for table 

 use and for pickling. The vines are 

 of strong, vigorous growth and very 

 productive. The fruits, which are 

 of handsome appearance, grow to a 

 desirable size, very straight, firm, 

 solid and crisp. The color is a rich 

 pea-green, and flavor very fine, 

 either when eaten sliced in the raw 

 state, or after they have been pickled.

The Cumberland Cucumber. 



SWEET CORN, METROPOLITAN. 



This variety of extra early Sweet Corn is of recent introduc- 

 tion, and is far superior in every way to the well-known Early 

 Cory. It does not smut, and, although but a few days later in 

 ripening, its large ears are closely filled with 10 to 12 rows of 

 beautiful, deep grains, even to the extreme tip. The quality and 

 flavor is all that could be desired, being equally as sweet and 

 sugary as any of the late varieties. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts. 

 (postpaid, 30 cts.); qt, 40 cts. (postpaid, 50 cts.); 4 qts., $1.00; 

 peck, $1.50, by express. 



New Egg Plant, Early Black Beauty. 



SWEET CORN, 



EARLY CHAMPION. 



This is a comparatively new variety, only having been on the 

 market for a few years, and has proved to be a valuable early 

 variety. It is medium early in ripening, and produces large 

 ears, generally having about twelve rows of beautiful white, 

 milky grains, which are very tender and sweet, and remain so 

 for quite a period. This is a splendid variety for planting in 

 the home garden, as it is a strong, healthy grower and very pro- 

 ductive. These qualities also make it a profitable 

 Sweet Corn for the market gardener to plant. Our 

 seed was grown especially for us in Connecticut, and 

 is very pure. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 25 

 cts.); qt., 30 cts. (postpaid, 40 cts.); 4 qts., 80 cts.; 

 peck, $1.25. 



NEW EGG PLANT, 



EARLY BLACK BEAUTY. 



This beautiful Egg Plant is a great improvement 

 over the well-known and largely-grown New York 

 Improved Large Purple, and cannot help soon taking 

 its place as the standard market variety. The plants 

 are remarkably healthy in their growth, and produce 

 an abundance of large fruits fully ten days earlier than 

 the New York Improved ; in fact, we believe that dur- 

 ing a season favorable to the growth of vegetables the 

 Early Black Beauty would mature at least two weeks 

 earlier than the New York Improved. In addition to 

 earliness, the rich purplish-black color of skin adds 

 greatly to the market value of this new variety, greatly 

 enhancing its beauty and attracting the immediate 

 attention of buyers, thus making it the easiest and 

 quickest selling Egg Plant on the market. The fruits 

 grow fully as large as the New York Improved, and 

 are spineless ; the quality also is all that could be de- 

 sired. The seed we furnish of this Egg Plant comes 

 to us direct from headquarters, and is strictly pure. 

 Pkt , 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; \ lb., $1.50.
