THE CUHBEI^LAND CUCUMBER 



The Best Pickling Cucumber Known 



This new variety is of the hardy, white spine type, is a 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. 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 as a 

 slicing variety as it is for pickles. The flgsh is firm, but very crisp and tender at all stages. We offer 

 it in full confidence that it will please our Icustomers in every particular. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 

 cts., V± lb. 40 cts., 1 lb. $1.25. | 



LEMOM CUCUMBER 



Lemon Cucumber 



A new and entirely distinct type. Tender, 

 sweet and crisp. The Lemon. Cucumber haa 

 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 

 frtiits, in comparison, with an ordinary Cu- 

 cumber. They are nearly round, with the yel- 

 low and green markings and smooth skin of 

 the Lemon, while the flesh is exceedingly ten- 

 dpr and crisp, with a sweet flavor surpassing 

 all other Cucumbers. They have none of the 

 bitter or acrid taste so generally found in Cu- 

 cumbers. For slicing they excel, and are well 

 adapted for serving whole upon the table. 

 For pickling, npe or green, one of the best 

 and most attractive, on account of their 

 quaint form. Tliey can be served green but 

 are at the best just as they are turning yel- 

 low. This variety has given us great satis- 

 faction for family use and also for pickling, 

 as we tested this sort along with others at 

 our trial grounds. Price per pkt. 10 cts., 3 

 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 30 cts., ^ lb. $1.00.
