CUCUMBER 



CONTINUED. 



EVER-BEARING CUCUMBERS. 



This variety is unique, and Trill prove valuable both 

 for the the table and for pickling. Is of small size, very 

 early, enormously productive, and extremely valuable as 

 a green pickler. The peculiar merit of this new 

 Cucumber is that the vines continue to flower 

 and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether 

 the ripe Cucumbers are picked off or not. in 

 which respect it differs from all other sorts in 

 cultivation.

 der and of delicate flavor; flesh white; skin 

 dark green, turning to brown, and netted when

CULTURE. — Sow the seed in hot-beds early in March. When three 

 inches high, pot the young plants, using small pots, and plunge them in 

 the same bed, so that the plants may become stocky. They can be planted 

 out, from the pots, when the season becomes sufficiently warm, in May or 

 June, or they can be transplanted into a second bed to make them strong, 

 until the weather is warm enough to transplant, about three feet apart 

 each way, in thoroughly worked and well enriched soil. Draw the earth 

 up to the stems when about a foot high. Egg Plant Seed will not vege- 

 tate freely without a strong, uniform heat, and if the plants get the least 

 chilled in the earlier stages of growth they seldom recover. Therefore 

 repeated sowings are sometimes necessary. Care should be observed in 

 cutting the fruit, so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. One ounce 

 will produce about 1,000 plants. 



BALTIMORE EGG PLANT. 



This is decidedly the best and most profitable Egg Plant in cultivation. It is large, thornless, of beautiful shape and handsome purple color. Wb 

 have never seen finer specimens of Egg Plant than those grown from our seed. When inspecting the field of Egg Plants growing for seed we wore sur- 

 prised at the regular size and uniform, handsome color of the fruit all over the field. Pkt., 10c. Oz., 30c. 1-4 lb., i)0c. Lb., $3.00.

GREEN CURLED ENDIVE. 



IS ONE OF THE BEST SALADS FOR FALL AND WINTER USE. 

 One Ounce of Seed to 150 Feet of Row. 



For early use. sow as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, 

 in drills fifteen inches apart, and thin plants to six or eight inches in the 

 row. To blanch the leaves, gather them carefully together when per- 

 fectly dry, and tie with matting or soft fibrous material. Another method 

 is to invert flower pots over the plant. The leaves are very highly es- 

 teemed for use as salads. 



GREEN CURLED — The best sort in use. Useful as a salad, and also 

 used for garnishing.
