S. S. Long Green 



This variety shares honors with the Boston Pickling for popularity in the eastern states. Both of them are extremely fine Pickling 

 Cucumbers, and are used very extensively by large and small growers for this purpose. The fruits of S. S. Long Green are very long, 

 of uniform dark color, frequently growing to a length of 12 

 inches. The full-sized Cucumbers are greatly in favor for making 

 sweet pickles. The vines are strong growers and the fruits are 

 produced in great abundance. Our strain of Long Green is a 

 carefully selected one and will stand up alongside of the very best. 

 The knobs are well distributed over the surface and are not 

 clustered at one end as is much of the inferior stock offered on 

 the market. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vilb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



324 Green Prolific, or Boston 

 Pickling 



Our strain of Boston Pickling has gained a wide reputation 

 among some of the leading pickle factories of this section. It 

 has been given preference because of its prolific tendencies and 

 its absolute trueness to type. The vines are vigorous, bearing 

 fruits of a fresh, bright green color, and of a medium size. The 

 flesh is crisp and tender, and if the vines are kept well cut, they 

 continue bearing throughout a long season. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 15 cts., V 4 lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.10.

West India Gherkin 



A very small sort. It is the smallest of all the varieties and 

 should always be picked when young and tender. The seed is 

 distinctively smaller than any other Cucumber and is very slow 

 to germinate, requiring usually two to three weeks. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 15 cts., V 4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50.
