COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



NEW GIANT WHITE CUCUMBER. 



The First and Only Best Long White Cucumber yet Introduced 



A very distinct and valuable new variety. 

 The Cucumbers are of gigantic size and al- 

 ways of a pure waxen white, from the time they 

 are first set until matured. They grow from 

 twelve to sixteen inches long by from two 

 to three inches in diameter, very uniform, 

 straight and perfectly smooth. The flesh 

 is very solid, pure white, with exceptionally 

 few seeds, and is exceedingly crisp of most 

 superior flavor- As a variety for slicing 

 they will prove very useful, while for exhibi- 

 tion no other cucumber will attract so much 

 attention. Many magnificent specimens 

 have teen grown that weighed 6% l&s., — so 

 very solid and heavy are the fruits of the 

 Giant Wlilte, while the pure waxen white 

 color is extremely attractive. The foliage is 

 large and luxuriant, the fruits are borne 

 near the hill. Per pkt..lO cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts., 

 oz. aO cts., J4 lb. $1.00. 



WHITE ST^R LETTUGB. 



A white seeded lettuce destined to become a universal 

 favorite for forcing or planting out doors. Will commend 

 itself to every market gardener because of its very large, 

 loose heads, excellent flavor, bright color, crispness and 

 long keeping qualities. It is an enormous yielder, and 

 remains a very long time in condition for use. Per pkt. 5 

 cts., oz. 20 cts., ^ lb., 60 cts. 



De]MVGi^ MAi^p^eT LGTTuee. 



ef This new Lettuce is highly recommended by the 

 ntroducer, who describes it as an early variety 

 ^ of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open 

 ground. It forms large solid heads of a good light 

 green jolor, and is very slow to go to seed. The 

 leaves are beautifully curled and crimped (like 

 the Savoy Cabbage), and very crisp and tender 

 and of excellent flavor. The crimped leaves dis- 

 tinguish it from any ptlier kind of Lettuce now 

 grown. The shape of the head resembles some- 

 what the "Hanson," but is more oblong. 



Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., }i lb. 60 cts.
