The "Cumberland" Cucumber. 



rt quiring 

 60 cents ; 



This variety is of the hardy White Spine type ; is rapid, strong, and vigorous grower, and very prolific in 

 fruit. The pickles differ from all other hardy sorts in being thickly set with fine spines over the entire surface, 

 except the extreme stem end : and during the whole period of growth, from the time they first set until fully 

 grown, the form is exceptionally straight and symmetrical, thus being as choice a slicing variety as it is for 

 pickles, i he flesh is firm and crisp at all stages. We offer it in full confidence that it will please our custom- 

 ers in every particular. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; % pound, .50 cents; ]/ z pound, 90 cents ; pound, fi.50. 

 Stock is very limited. 



CRESS. 



Curled, or Pepper Grass.— Thia small salad is much used with lettuce, to the flavor of which its warm, 

 pungent taste makes a most agreeable addition. The seed should be sown in drills about 16 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 Slug-Shot. Packet, 5 cents : ounce, 10 cents ; 2 ounces, 

 15 cents ; % pound, 20 cents ; pound, 50 cents. 



Trii«' Water Cress. — This is quite di-tinct from the last, and only thrives when its roots and stems are 

 submerged in water. It is one of the most delicious of small salads and should be planted wherever a suitable 

 place can be found. The seed should be 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-'own seed and extension of the roots. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 30 cents ; 2 ounces, 55 cents
