MPROVED BALTIMORE 

 WHITE SPINE 



This is the best Cucumber for early planting, because it 

 will retain its green color longer than any other sort. It 

 is of good size and shape, and the popular variety with 

 truckers around Baltimore and Norfolk, as well as the grow- 

 ers from Virgina to Florida. 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE. — A favorite extra early va- 

 riety, of desirable size, handsome shape, dark green color, 

 holding its color longer than most others. Good shipper 

 and sells well. 



EARLV FORTUNE CUCUMBER. — One of the earliest 

 and best dark green White Spine Cucumbers. Ex- 

 tremely early, and beautiful shape. Good for market 

 gardeners, truckers or private family; in fact, any one 

 who likes a dark green, white spine cucumber it can- 

 not help but please. Fine for Southern growers, as 

 it stands shipping remarkably well. 



JERSEY PICKLING-. — This is the most popular sort 

 with the market gardeners around Baltimore and Phila- 

 delphia for pickling. Said to green better than any 

 other variety. 



OVED LONG GREEN 



The skin is of a deep green, and the flesh is solid, crisp and of fine quality. 

 We* have the very best strains of this variety and recommend it as much the 

 best cucumber of all, and the variety every one should plant. The best known 

 and most popular variety for general use. Is vigorous and productive, and 

 forms fruit fit for use as early as the shorter varieties. The mature fruit is 

 almost 12 inches long. 



BURR, OR WEST INDIA GHERKIN. 



An extremely small fruited variety, grown exclusively for pickels. It has no 

 value for slicing. Is very prickly, but tender and crisp if pickled when young. 

 Seed germinates slowly.
