lent either for pickles or slicing. The stock we offer is a 

 great improvement over that usually sold either as Bis- 

 marck or Tailby Hybrid, being much better and more 

 uniform in shape, without the distinct neck which was a 

 fault of the old stock. It can be depended upon to produce 

 very symmetrical, handsome, dark green fruits which will 

 hold their color better than those of any other kind. This 

 is one of the best sorts for growing under glass. Pkt. 5c;

Vtxtra Long, or Evergreen White Spine 



Beautiful in shape and color, and of the finest quality. 

 The fruit is long, cylindrical, dark green, with very white, 

 crisp and tender flesh. An entirely new and distinct sort 

 developed by ourselves through very careful selection, our 

 aim being to secure the best possibfe table cucumber. The 

 vine is vigorous and productive, and comes into full bear- 

 ing earlier than the Bismarck. An excellent sort for cul- 

 ture under glass. Pkt.5c; Oz.30c; 2 Oz.55c; H Lb.$1.00;

t*^ mMww\V\fkt^\s^w%t\ ^ °®"^^' ^^d distinct variety, said to have originated from crossing the Parisian Pickling and the 



\f\^*MWWinMXiW ICIIIU Early White Spine. It certainly has the good qualities of each of these sorts. The fruits are 



large, symmetrical, dark green, covered with innumerable small, white spines, and are of prime quality for slicing. The 



vine is vigorous, wonderfully prolific, and continues in bearing much longer than most sorts. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c;

Vines vigorous 

 fruit uniformly straight 

 handsome, dark green, with a few white spines; flesh tender and of excellent flavor. In 

 country this variety is used more, perhaps, than any other for forcing under glass. Pkt

A selection from the Wliite Spine, being more pointed at each end. 

 The young fruits are unusually crisp and tender, and are of very 

 dark green color, so that the variety is considered by many to be the best for small 

 pickles. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; ^ Lb. $1.00; Lb. $2.75 



I ylTnnl ;inH Crkn -^ strain of White Spine somewhat like the Arlington, but larger 

 If-V/UUI ailU V^l l>p and less symmetrical. The vine is vigorous and the fruit long, 



cylindrical, dark green, with many white spines. The flesh is peculiarly crisp and 



tender, and it is one of the very best for table use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c 



""• """' ''''• *'■*" ; Improved Long Green Te'oSl?oSt£ 



Long Green. Vines vigorous and productive, 

 forming fruit fit for the table nearly as early as 

 the shorter sorts; fruit fabout twelve inches 

 long, firm and crisp. The young fruit makes 

 excellent pickles, and when ripe it is one 

 of the best for sweet pickles. We offer 

 a carefully selected strain, uniformh 

 long^ of good form, with the large wart'^ 

 'and spines well distributed o\er 

 the surface instead of being 

 clustered at one end as in infe- 

 rior stocks.

Small Gherkin 



{For Pickles). 

 A very small, oval, 

 prickly variety 

 quite distinct from 

 '■ others and 



grown exclusively 



for pickles. It is 



the smallest of all 



the varieties, and 



should always be 



picked wli«'n young 



and teniler. The 



seed is slow to ger- 

 minate, requiring 



usually from two 



to three weeks.
