Klondike Cucumber 



This valuable new variety is one of the 

 best for slicing, and will produce Cucum- 

 bers 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 condition for use. It 

 matures early and continues bearing for a 

 long time, and the vines make such a 

 healthy and vigorous growth that they 

 produce a good crop even in a poor sea- 

 son, when many other varieties fail on 

 account of unseasonable weather. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., %

Davis' Perfect Cucumber 



A fine new variety for both outdoor and 

 forcing. It is a most carefully selected 

 strain of extra long white spine type made 

 by a veteran cucumber grower. The fruit 

 grows 11 to 12 inches long on an average, 

 slight pointed, a dark, glossy color, which 

 they keep until ripe, then turning white. 

 In quality it is very tender, brittle and of 

 fine flavor. A very vigorous grower, with 

 standing blight better than long sorts.

Lemon Cucumber 



Lemon Cucumber 



A new and entirely distinct type. Tender, 

 sweet and crisp. The Lemon Cucumber 

 has come to stay, its popularity 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 ordinary 

 Cucumber. They are nearly round, with 

 the yellow and green markings and smooth 

 skin of the Lemon, while the flesh is ex- 

 ceedingly tender and crisp, with a sweet 

 flavor surpassing all other Cucumbers. 

 They have none of the bitter or acrid taste 

 so generally found in Cucumbers. For slic- 

 ing they excel, and are well adapted for 

 serving whole upon the table. For pickling, 

 ripe or green, one of the best and most at- 

 tractive, 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 

 family use and also for pickling, as we 

 tested this sort along with others at our 

 trial grounds. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 25 cts., Yi lb. 75 cts.
