No. 314. Davis Perfect. Days to Matukity, 60. Originated by Mr. Eugene Davis, 

 of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The fruits of this variety will attain a length of ten inches. 

 They are dark green in color, tender and highly suitable as a slicing variety. The 

 vines are hardy and vigorous, and will continue to bear for a long period.

No. 330. West India Gherkin. Days to Maturity, 50. One of the oldest varieties 

 known in America. A native of Jamaica. Introduced by Minton Collins, of Richmond, 

 Virginia, in 1793. It is the smallest variety of Cucumber on the market and 

 is in considerable demand for small pickles. The fruits will average from two 

 to two and one-half inches in length and should be picked when young 

 and tender. We would call special attention to the fact that the seeds 

 are rather difficult to germinate, sometimes requiring from two to three 

 weeks, therefore, we would recommend a very carefully prepared seed bed.

No. 317. Green Prolific or Boston Pickling. Days to Maturity, 

 60. First offered by Briggs in 1866 as Green ProUfic. Apparently the 

 name, Boston Pickling, was attached to this as a result of an introduc- 

 tion made by Johnson & Stokes in 1888. It is a black spine variety, 

 perhaps more in use as a commercial pickling sort than any other. The 

 fruits will average from five to six inches in length when fully developed. 

 However, they are harvested at an earlier stage for most pickling opera- 

 tions. It is an early, heavy yielding variety and the stock offered is 

 recommended without reservation.

 ber. We are not weU informed as to its origin. The fruits will average from seven to eight

 lent quality for slicing.
