SUMMER SEED LIST • 1918 



7 



310 Evergreen White Spine Cucumber 



The White Spine variety of Cucumber has been a leader for many years, and with the special 

 care in growing this variety for seed, we can recommend it above all stocks which we have been 

 able to secure. The fruits average about 7 inches in length and are blunt at both ends, being 

 especially well rounded at the stem end. The skin is a dark green, showing some white stripes, 

 but this is being eliminated as far as possible by selection. The flesh is very tender, crisp and white, 

 making an excellent slicing variety, for which it is mostly used. Our strain is especially prolific 

 for the variety, and nearly all the fruits are very uniform in shape, size and color. Superior to 

 any stock of White Spine we have ever offered. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



324 Green Prolific (Boston Pickling) 



In describing this variety we feel that we have something very superior to most strains of Boston 

 Pickling. The stock is especially uniform and the yield per plant is especially noticeable. The 

 vines are a rich dark green in color, bearing fruits which have a large number of black spines on 

 them. It is both an early variety and a heavy yielder, which makes it very popular with a large 

 number of our customers who grow for the pickling factories. The stock is one of the most uniform 

 which can be procured and the seed which we offer here will not disappoint our customers in any 

 way. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



315 Early Fortune 



This is one of the best introductions in recent years. The vines are strong, vigorous growers, 

 producing abundant crops of Cucumbers which are slightly longer than Arlington White Spine, 

 more cylindrical in shape, and have a very dark green skin. Is excellent for table use or making 

 pickles, as the flesh is thick, seed-cavity relatively small, and the quality excellent. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



CORN 



May be planted in the North until July 30 



240 Golden Bantam 



This variety leads all others in sweetness and eating qualities. It is also a decidedly early Corn 

 and is, perhaps, second only to Early Mayflower in this respect. The stalk grows from 4 to 5 feet 

 high and has the ear placed about half-way up the stalk. Golden Bantam is a rich creamy yellow 

 which deepens into orange when ripe. The ear is 6 to 7 inches long, having eight rows to the ear. 

 It is mostly well filled up to the end of the ear and makes a very desirable appearance on the table. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs. $20. 



241 Extra-Early Adams 



The hardiest Corn for table purposes under cultivation. Its sugar content is very much lower 

 than any other Sweet Corn illustrated herein, but, if used when comparatively young, it is bound 

 to be a very palatable eating variety. The ears are from 8 to 10 inches long and, coming on the 

 market when there is no other local competition, it has found a very definite place in the work of 

 the market-gardener. The stock which we offer was secured at a great deal of expense from one of 

 our local Burlington County farmers. This seed has been protected by the River Front Growers 

 for a number of years, as this early white Corn has found a very important place on the New 

 York market. The entire lot which we offer was grown on our own farm this .past season. Pkt. 

 10 cts., lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs. $20. 



260 Stokes Double-Barreled Best 



Nineteen-eighteen will be the fourth season for the commercial use of this variety and, having 

 grown our entire stock here on Windermoor Farm, we offer it to our trade with every confidence 

 that it will produce for you one of the most valuable Sweet Corn crops you have ever grown. Not 

 only is it the finest table variety that we know of, but we can say unqualifiedly that it will make 

 more money for the grower from one end of the season to the other than any other sort that we 

 know of. By successive plantings it is possible to have Double-Barreled Best on the market just 

 after the Extra-Early Adams and Golden Bantam are over with, and from that time running until 

 frost. Stokes' Double-Barreled Best was given its name primarily because of its almost unfailing 

 tendency to produce two fully matured ears to the stalk, unsurpassed by any main-crop Sweet 

 Corn under any cultivation. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 25 cts., 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs. $20. 



270 Country Gentleman (Shoe-Peg) 



Country Gentleman, or Shoe-Peg, needs little introduction to most planters. The exceptional 

 quality and depth of grain make it one of the best eating varieties. Besides this, it remains tender 

 and fit for use longer, perhaps, than any other sort. The stalk grows 6K to 7 feet high; the ears 

 are from 6 to 7 inches in length and are well filled at the ends. The eating qualities of this variety 

 are very good, and the small cob allows room for full development of deep, sweet kernels. The 

 stalks often bear two and three ears each. Customers are never disappointed when they plant this 

 for home or market use. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 25 cts,, 10 lbs. $2.25, 100 lbs. $20.
