S. S. Long Green 



This variety is growing in popularity year after year, especially in the eastern states. It is the first 

 of the black-spined varieties, and is used extensively for pickling purposes. The fruits are extremely 

 long, frequently 12 inches, having a uniform dark color and run very even in shape and size. The seed we 

 offer under this variety is especially cared for, re-selected, and can be depended upon in every way. The 

 vines of the Long Green are very vigorous and productive and for a heavy yielder this variety can be 

 especially recommended. Pkt. 5 Cts., oz. 15 cts., Vi^b. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



Green Prolific, or Boston 

 Pickling 



In describing this variety we feel that we have 

 something very superior to most strains of Boston 

 Pickhng. The stock is especially uniform and the yield 

 per plant is especially noticeable. The vines are a rich 

 dark green in color, bearing fruits which have a large 

 number of black spines on them. It is both an early 

 variety and a heavy yielder, which makes it very 

 popular with a large number of our customers who 

 grow for the pickling factories. The stock is one of the 

 most uniform which can be procured and the seed 

 which we offer here will not disappoint our customers 

 in any way. Pkt. 5 cts.,oz. 15 cts., V^lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.

West India Gherkin 



This is the smallest variety of Cucumber on the 

 market and is not used very extensively. However, 

 there are still a number of our customers who desire a 

 small, uniformly shaped variety. The seed should be 

 sown in an especially fine, well-prepared seed-bed, and 

 care should be used in planting, as it is rather hard to 

 germinate, requiring two to three weeks. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
