^Arl 



Produced by selection from the 

 Long Green. Vines vigorous 

 and productive, forming fruit 

 fit fi 'f 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 they are the best for sweet pickles. We offer a 

 carefully selected strain, uniformly long, 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.

ig%i%-§- i\t\ -A- selection from the White Spine, being 

 ||1|||l||l more pointed at each end. The young 

 *"}§ »vrii fruits are unusually crisp and tender, and 



are of verj- dark green color, so that the variety is considered 



by many to be the best for small pickles.

A new and distinct variety, said to 

 have originated from crossing the^.\ 

 Parisian Piekliug and the Early Whitev .^ 

 Spine. It certainly has the good qualities of each of these ^, 

 sorts. The fruits are large, symmetrical, dark green, covered \\ 

 with innumerable small, white spines, and are of prime quality ■^v 

 for slicing. The vine is vigorous, wonderfully prolific, andV;' 

 continues in bearing much longer than most sorts.

Improved Long Green Cucumber. 



Barly White Spine 



One of the best sorts for table use. Vines vigorous, fruiting early and 

 undantly; fruit uniformly straight and handsome, dark green, with a

 ariety is used more, perhaps, than any other for forcing under glass.

 ^^ Pickling: 



A very small, oval, prickly 

 variety, quite distinct from 

 all others. It is grown 

 exclusively for pickles: is 

 the smallest of all the va- 

 rieties, and should always 

 be picked when young 

 and tender. The seed is 

 slow to germinate, requir- 

 ing usually from two to 

 three weeks.
