A -. A selection from the Early White Spine, being more pointed at 



Arlington each end. The young fruits are crisp and tender and are of 

 dark green color. Considered by many to be the best sort for small pickles.

 _-. ,., Amedium early, white spined cucumber of handsome, very dark 

 Klondike green color and of excellent quality for slicing. The vines are 

 very hardy and productive. The fruits when mature are about eight inches 

 long, and are uniform in size and shape. Color dark green, slightly striped at 

 the ends. The dark green color is retained much longer and is affected less 

 by the hot sun than any other sort with which we are familiar. Its uniform 

 size and shape, and splendid color is making this variety very popular as a 

 shipping sort. (See cut and further description in Supplement, page 8)

1 i Vines very vig- 



imprOVeCl orous and pro- 



Long Green Active. The 



33 





fruits are 



very long, often twelve inches, 



slender and of uniformly dark 



green color. Furnishes some 



fruits early but matures the 



bulk of its crop rather late. 



Excellent for slicing and very 



largely used for pickles. The 



mature fruits are often used 



for making sweet pickles. We 



offer a carefully selected 



strain uniformly long, of good 



form and with the large warts 



and spines well distributed over the surface instead of being clustered at 



one end as in inferior stocks. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; % Lb. 35c;

o it f* l i • (For Pickles) A very small, oval, prickly 

 omall V»nerKin fruited sort quite distinct from all others 

 and grown exclusively for pickles. It is the smallest of all the 

 varieties and should always be picked when young and tender. 

 Seed distinctly smaller than other cucumbers and is slow to 

 germinate, requiring usually from two to three weeks. Pkt. 5c;

CRESS 



The seed should be sown in drills about sixteen inches apart, 

 on very rich ground and the plants well cultivated. It may be 

 planted very early but repeated sowings are necessary to secure 

 a succession. Keep off insects by dusting with Py . .arum powder. 



i-y i j r> /"i The leaves of this small salad 



burled, Or repper l»raSS are much frilled or curled, 

 and are used as a garnishing; also desirable with lettuce, to 

 the flavor of which its warm, pungent taste makes a most 

 agreeable addition. Of rapid growth, about one foot high.

 <r« o Jjri*¥7»*. A variety that does well 



Gray Seeded Larly Winter on upland and produces 



a large cluster of leaves quite similar to those of the Water 

 Cress in appearance and quality. It is quite hardy and thrives 

 best in the cool autumn months. Also known as Upland. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



•j* \xr . This is a distinct variety of cress with small, 



I me W ater oval leaves and thrives best when its roots and 

 stems are submerged in water. A fair growth may be obtained 

 in soil which is kept wet but does best when grown along moist 

 banks or in tubs in water-covered soil. It is one of the most de- 

 licious of small salads and should be planted wherever a suit- 

 able place can be found. The seed is usually sown and lightly 

 covered in gravelly, mucky lands along the borders of small, 

 rapid streams. The plants will need no subsequent culture, as 

 under favorable conditions they increase very rapidly by self- 

 sown seed and extension of the roots. When gathered for the 

 market the shoots should be cut, not broken off. In summer it is 

 best to cut them closely, the of tener the better. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c;
