NEW EVERGREEN CUCUMBER 



Earlier Than the Improved Arlington White Spine and a Heavier Cropper. 

 Truckers Who Desire an Early Cucumber Will Find This New Variety 

 Very F*rofitable. (Actual photo -engraving on front cover J 



Earlier than the Improved Arlington White Spine and a heavier cropper. Truckers who 

 desire an early Cucumber will find in this new variety a money-maker. It is one of the most 

 vigorous, strong, and robust growers. Fruits are even size, very handsome shape, measuring 

 about 8 to 9 inches in length, and are of a dark green color. The fruits are close to the hill, 

 and are excellent for slicing. Our Southern friends will find it admirably adapted for their 

 wants. This cucumber can be used under glass as well as for growing out of doors. Claimed 

 to cut from thirty to fifty per cent more cucumbers from the vines of this variety than any 

 other. Pkt., loc; oz., 15c.; ^4 lb., 35c.; lb., Si. 00. 



FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA BEAN 



The Only Stiffly-Erect Bush Form of the Potato Lima. 

 Both Pods and Beans are Twice the Size of the 

 Kumerle or Dreer's Bush Lima. 



Fordhook Bush Lima is altogether unique, and has a stiftly-erect 

 habit, branching freely, but with all the branches held upright. It 

 has an ideal bush growth, which is strikingly different from the low 

 spreading growth of the Dreer's Bush Lima. It has foliage like that 

 of the Large Pole Lima. 



Fordhook Bush Lima bears tremendous crops; the, beans are 

 ready for use fully three weeks earlier than any other of the pole 

 lima varieties. The plump, well-filled pods are twice as large as 

 those of the Dreer's Bush, while the beans are -also twice the size; 

 the pods measuring 4 to 5 inches in length, containing four to five 

 large beans. The green Beans, even of full size, juicy and sweet 

 when cooked, resembling the flavor of the finer varieties of the 

 large Flat Lima. ^ pt. 15c.; pt, 20c.; qt. 30c.; ^ pk. $1.00; pk. $1.75- 



SCHULTZ'S NEW LETTUCE 

 ALL HEART 



The Most Perfect CABBAGE LETTUCE Ever Produced For Early 

 Spring and Fall Planting 



A very superior variety of cabbage Lettuce, appropriately named, 

 on account of the beautiful hard head it makes. It is adapted to both 

 spring and fall use. Forms large heads, leaves closely set, with ex- 

 tremely solid heart, even before it is half grown. The color is a beau- 

 tiful light green and the flavor is excellent, being rich and buttery. 

 This is the very best Lettuce for the market-gardener, because they 

 are a very solid heading sort, weight from 12 to 16 ounces. In fact the 

 plant is All Heart, and carries to market in perfect condition. I would 

 suggest that every gardener give this variety a fair trial, as it will not 

 only give pleasure to those who plant it, but will prove a money maker 

 as well. Price, pkts. 5c. and loc; oz. 20c.; 2 oz. 30c.; VxXh. 50c.; lb. $1.50.
