 early, enormously prolific and bears uniformly long;, symmetrical, deep green-colored (ruits faintly marked with a light

Cucumber Earliest of All" 



This new Cucumber is the earliest type of White Spine that is grown, being quite as early as the "Early Russian," 

 which is a much inferior pickle. The fruits are of fine quality and the color an attractive dark green. For pickling it 

 produces fruits which are straight, square ended and very firm. It is one of the most desirable for pickling companies 

 and will soon be one of our most desirable early sorts. Price, pkt. loc, oz. 15c., X'b. 40c., lb. $1.50, by mail, postpaid. 



New Strawberry Lettuce 



The French people are great connoisseurs of Lettuce 

 and salads of all kinds, and this new French variety 

 comes lo us with strong endorsement from these Let- 

 tuce-loving people. It forms a medium-sized head, very 

 firm, and has a delicious, crisp, buttery flavor. Outside 

 its general appearance is dark reddish brown, but the 

 interior of the head has a decided pink color, and, when 

 dressed with oil and prepared for the table, it resembles 

 a dish of crushed strawberries, hence its name. This 

 color, together with its rich flavor, makes it a novelty of 

 the first class, and I predict for it a very general sale for 

 private use. Price, Rkt. 10 cts.j'oz. 25 cts., '/41b. 75 cts., 

 by mail, postpaid. —

 It is good for early spring in frames ; for mid-summer, as 

 it stands an immense amount of heat without shooting

 Leaves of splendid substance, nicely crinkled and of 

 very fine quality ; tender, crisp, succulent and sweet. 

 Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., '4 lb. 60 cts., lb. $2.
