f vergreen 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 entirelj' new and distinct soi't developed by our- 

 selves through very careful selection. We aim to 

 secure the best possible table cucumber. The vine 

 is vigorous and productive and comes into full bear- 

 ing earlier than the Bismarck. An excel- 

 lent sort for culture under glass. /. x

Bismarck 



Fruit Ions:, pointed at each end, 

 very constant in form and color; 

 flesh crisp and tender; excellent 

 either for pickles or slicing. 



The stock we offer is a great im- 

 provement over that usu- 

 all.y sold either as Bismarck 

 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 de- 

 pended upon to produce very 

 symmetrical, handsome, 

 darlf 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.

Gherkin for 

 pickling... 



A very small, oval, prickly 

 variety, quite distinct from 

 all others. It is grown ex- 

 clusively for pickles ; is the 

 smallest of all the varieties, 

 and should always be picked 

 v/hen young and tender. The 

 seed is slow to germinate, 

 requii-ing usually from two 

 to three weeks.

Extra Long, or 

 Evergreen White Spine Cucumber. 



Improved 

 ..Long.. 

 Green 



Produced by selection from 

 the Long Green. Vines vigor- 

 ous 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 excellent pickles, 

 and when ripe is the best 

 for sweet pickles. We offer 

 a carefully selected strain, 

 uniformly long and of good 

 form, with the large warts 

 and spines well distributed 



over the surface instead of 

 being clustered at one end 

 as in inferior stocks.
