Early Snowball.

One ounce produces about 3,500 plants. 
DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER—Especially adapted for 
growing in dry locations where nearly all other varieties fail, 
and for heads of good size. Dry Weather, which is also known 
as Gilt Edge and Danish Giant, is about one week later than 
our Early Snowball, is much larger and with much more foliage; 
hence it is not so suitable for forcing. The heads are very 
large, white, firm and compact, and being well protected by the 
dense foliage, are easily blanched and remain fit for use for a 
long time. Pkt. 20c, oz. $1.25, 1% Ib. $4.00. 
EARLY SNOWBALL—Otr strain of this popular variety is 
unequaled. It is one of the best for forcing under glass or for 
the open ground. A sure header. Pkt. 20c, oz. $1.25, 1% Ib. $4.00. 
Cucumber-eure 
One ounce to fifty hills. 
One to two pounds to an acre. 
CULTURE.—For growth of Cucumbers, hills are raised, 
standing five feet apart. Quite rich sandy soil is best. If neces- 
sary, enrich the hills with a mixture of sandy soil and strong 
rotted manure. For early use, plant in May; for pickling, plant 
in June or July. Eight or ten seeds should be allowed to each 
hill, as young plants are often destroyed by bugs. 
IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE, OR ARLINGTON— 
A selection from the White Spine, being more pointed at each 
end. The young fruits are usually crisp and tender, and are 
of very dark green color, so that the variety is considered by 
many to be the best. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 Ib. 30c, Ib. 90c. 
LONDON LONG GREEN—tThe standard late sort, quite 
crisp and of good size. It is not so early as the Spine, but is 
more desirable for a late crop. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, ™% Ib. 35c, 
Ib. $1.25. 
THE DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER—As a forcing cucum- 
ber, the Davis Perfect has no equal. Its excellent eating quali-

Egg Plant 
One ounce will produce 1,000 plants. 
Sow in March in hotbed, and transplant when two inches high 
into a second hotbed, or let them remain and thin out to four 
inches apart. When the weather becomes settled transplant into 
the open ground three feet apart each way. Good culture is 
quite as important as good seed; work the ground deep; make 
it rich with well-rotted manure, and hoe often. 
BLACK BEAUTY EGG PLANT—The New York Black 
Beauty combines in itself many characteristics which are very 
valuable in this vegetable. In the first place it is very early; 
in fact, the earliest good market variety. By this we mean it is 
the earliest variety that grows to a good size suitable for market 
purposes. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c, % 1b. $1.25, 1b. $4.50.

Southern growers. It resists drought and wet weather to a 
wonderful degree on account of its strong, upright growth, the 
fruits being held well off the ground. Very vigorous and 
productive, bearing profusely its large purple fruits of fine 
shape and quality. An excellent shipper. Commission men 
report they reach market in the best condition and command 
high prices. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c, 1% Ib. $1.25, 1b. $4.50.
