Early Fortune Cucumber 



A fine new early variety of the White 

 Spine type; the fruit is of uniform size 

 and shape and is of very firm texture, 

 thus permitting long distance shipping. 

 The skin is very dark green, holds its 

 color remarkably well, has thick flesh 

 which is tender and crisp, making it 

 especially good for slicing. It is a fav- 

 orite variety with market gardeners.

Lemon Cucumber 



A new and entirely distinct type. 

 Tender, sweet and crisp. The Lemon 

 Cucumber has come to stay, its popu- 

 larity increasing. With those who grew 

 it last season it is a favorite. If you 

 are fond of cucumbers and want one 

 that will almost melt in your mouth, try 

 our Lemon. 



Our illustration Is from a photograph 

 of the fruits, in comparison, with an or- 

 dinary Cucumber. They are nearly round, 

 with the yellow and green markings and 

 smooth skin of the Lemon, while the 

 flesh is exceedingly tender and crisp, 

 with a sweet flavor surpassing all other 

 Cucumbers. They have none of the bit- 

 ter or acid taste so generally found in 

 Cucumbers. For slicing they excel, and 

 are well adapted for serving whole upon 

 the table. For pickling, ripe or green, 

 one of the best and most attractive, on 

 account of their quaint form. They can 

 be served green but are at the best just 

 as they are turning yellow. This variety 

 has given us great satisfaction for fam- 

 ily use and also for pickling, as we 

 tested this sort along with others at our 

 trial grounds. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz, 25 cts., ^ lb. 75 cts 



Ziemon Cucumber 



Klondike Cucumber 



This valuable variety is one of the 

 best for slicing, and will produce Cu- 

 cumbers equal in appearance to the 

 hot house grown specimens. 



The color is rich dark green, and 

 the fruits grow to a uniform size, 

 measuring about seven inches long and 

 two inches thick when in good condi- 

 tion for use. It matures early and con- 

 tinues bearing for a long time, and the 

 vines make such a healthy and vigor- 

 ous growth that they produce a good 

 crop even in a poor season, when many 

 other varieties fail on account of un- 

 seasonable weather. 



Per pkt, 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^4 lb. 

 35 cts., lb. $1.25.
