Klondike. 



type which liolds its attractive dark green color longer than most 

 other sorts. When of suitable size for shipping, it averages from 6 

 to 7 inches, the ends are quite square, and it is about 2 inches thick. 

 The quality is unsurpassed. The demand for it is growing rapidly. 

 Its points of superiority are — extreme earliness, a prolific bearer, 

 very hardy, producing fair crops under such unfavorable conditions, 

 very dark green and holding its color and crispness for a long time, 

 size just right for a slicing Cucumber. It is also quite firm when 

 small; an excellent pickling sort. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., KIb. 30 

 cts., lb. $1, postpaid ; by express, lb. 90 cts., 5 lbs. $4, 10 lbs. $7.50. 



Davis Perfect. Resembles a, 



• hothouse C u - 



cumber so closely that dealers cannot tell the difference, it being 

 equally good for hothouse or outdoor culture. Ideal in shape, rich, 

 dark green, uniform and regular. Tender, and as a slicing Cucum- 

 ber fou the table is unsurpassed. Almost seedless one-third of its 

 length from the stem end, and the seeds that are contained in it, 

 when in slicing condition, are so small and tender that they are 

 almost unnoticed. Exceedingly productive. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 %\b. 30 cts., lb. $1, postpaid; by express, lb. 90 cts., 5 lbs. $4, 10 

 lbs. $7.50. 



New Lemon. The Lemon Cu- 

 ^— cumber is nearly 

 A Noveliy of Merit round, with yellow and green markings and 

 smooth skin similar to the lemon. The flesh is tender, crisp, and 

 possesses a sweetness and flavor surpassing all other Cucumbers. 

 The fruits are from to 3 inches in diameter, and very attractive 

 in appearance. For pickling, either when green or ripe, they are 

 unexcelled. They should be used for the table just as the fruits are 

 turning yellow. Customers who grow the Lemon Cucumber say 

 they prefer it for quality and productiveness to any other variety. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts. 



This is a very early strain of 

 the White Spine Cucumber, 

 growing 4 to 5 inches in length, fine dark green color, with the 

 usual white streaks at the blossom end. It will be found a desirable 

 variety where earliness is an object. It is a fine slicing Cucumber, 

 with small seeds. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., K'b. 30 cts., lb. $1.10, post- 

 paid ; 5 lbs. by express, $4.50. 



Perfected Jersey Pickle. '"^g j^^EC I ALT y1 



This variety is an improved strain of the old reliable "Jersey 

 Pickle." It originated in the great pickle-growing district in Bur- 

 lington county. New Jersey, where a large business is carried on in 

 thisjine. It is a very choice strain, producing Cucumbers uniform 

 in size, with thin skin, white flesh and few seeds. It is very crisp 

 and tender in quality, and has the valuable ever-bearing habit 

 largely developed. Where the largest quantity of Pickles is desired, 

 the fruit should be gathered while small, as, if they are left to pro- 

 duce larger fruits, it will soon check the growth and productiveness 

 of the vine. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., K'b. 30 cts., lb. $1, postpaid; by 

 express, 5 lbs. $4.25.

most prolific varieties for producing 

 Pickles of medium size for both home use and market, or for pickle 

 factories. The vines are extremely vigorous, yielding a large num- 

 ber of fruits, remaining in strong, healthy growing condition longer 

 than any other variet)-. The skin is stiff and tender and free from 

 toughness when pickled. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., %1h. 30 cts., lb. $1.

grower, with fruit setting very 

 freely. The young Cucumber shown in the illustration is thickly 

 set with small spines. They are equally attractive for making small 

 gherkins, medium-size or large pickles. The straight young fruit

 large-sized fruits average 8 to 10 inches in length, with full rounded 

 ends, and are of good quality for slicing. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 

 Jilb. 30 cts., lb. $1.

Mrs. Ella Jacobs. Hedgesville, W. Va., writes, Sept. 16. 1911: "I thought 

 I would write you a few lines to tell you how pleased we are with the Cucum- 

 ber seed we got from you. We raised the largest Cucumbers around 

 us. We raised Cucumbers from 12 inches up to 16 inches long. One Cu- 

 cumber is 16 inches long from stem to bloom, and is 11 inches around the 

 largest part, and around the smallest it is 10^2 inches. Don't you think they 

 are large enough?
