Bismarck 



A cross between the Long Green 

 and White Spine, producing dai k 

 colored slender pickles like the 

 former, and becoming like the * 

 latter at matm-ity. ' 



Fruit long, cylindrical, 



very constant in form and 



color; flesh crisp and 



tender; excellent either 



for pickles or slicing. 

 The stock we offer is much superior to that 

 commonly sold under this name, and will pro- 

 duce 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. 6c; Oz. lOct

Improved 



Long 6reeii 



Produced by selection from the 

 Long Green. Vines vigorous and 

 productive, forming fruit fit for > 



the table nearly as early as the /,' 

 shorter sorts; fruit about twelve . / 

 inches long, firm and crisp. The ,' / 

 young fruit makes one of the best 

 of pickles, and when ripe is the 

 best of any for sweet pickles. We 

 offer a carefully selected strain, 

 imif ormly long and of good form, 

 with the large warts and spines 

 well distributed over the sur- 

 face instead of bein^ clustered 

 at one end, as in inferior 

 stocks. Pkt.5c; Oz.lOc; 2 0z.

Gherkin . . 

 for pickling 



A very small, oval, prickly 

 variety, quite distinct from 

 all others. It is grown ex- 

 clusively for pickling; is 

 the smallest of all the vari- 

 eties and should always be 

 picked when young and ten- 

 der. The seed is slow to ger- 

 minate, requiring usually 

 from two to three weeks.
