JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER.— It bears 

 abundantly throughout the season, while the climb- 

 ing habit enables the hanging fruit to grow per- 

 fectly straight; from twelve to sixteen inches in 

 length, the cucumbers are thick, tender, and of 

 delicate flavor; flesh white, skin dark green, turn- 

 ing to brown, and netted when ripe.

WHITE WONDER CUCUMBER 



The White Wonder sur- 

 passes the White Pearl, 

 both in handsome appear- 

 ance and tine quality, 

 while its strong, vigor- 

 ous, extremely healthy 

 habit of growth enables 

 the vines to produce a 

 large crop of perfect 

 fruit, even under 

 adverse con "ii- 

 tions. Its strong- 

 constitution is ex- 

 ceptional. The Cu- 

 cumbers are thick- 

 ly set throughout 

 the length of the 

 vine, and are re- 

 markably uniform 

 in color, shape and 

 size.

BALTIMORE EGG PLANT 



This is decidedly the best and most profitable 

 Egg Plant in cultivation; it is large, thornless, of 

 beautiful shape and handsome purple color. We 

 have never seen finer specimens of Egg Plant than 

 those grown from our seed. When inspecting the 

 field of Egg Plants growing for seed, we were sur- 

 prised at the regular size and uniform, handsome 

 color of the fruit all over the field.

German, Eierpflanze. 

 (One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants.) 

 Sow the seed in hot-beds early in March. When 

 three inches high pot the young plants, using small 



pots, and plunge them in the same bed, so that the 

 plants may become stocky. They can be planted 

 out, from the pots, when the season becomes suffi- 

 ciently warm, in May or June; or they can be trans- 

 planted into a second bed to make them strong, 

 until the weather is warm enough to transplant, 

 about three feet apart each way, in thoroughly 

 worked and well enriched soil. Draw the earth up 

 to the stems when about a foot high. Egg Plant 

 seed will not vegetate freely without a strong, uni- 

 form heat, and if the plants get the least chilled 

 in the earlier stages of growth they seldom recover. 

 Therefore repeated sowings are sometimes neces- 

 sary. Care should be observed in cutting the fruit 

 so as not to disturb the roots of the plants.
