HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



CUCUMBER 



Gurken, Ger. 



One Ounce will plant fifty liills; two pounus will plant one acre. 



CULTURE— For very early cucumbers, sow April 1st in a hot-bed upon pieces of sod (grass side down), 

 80 that they can be readily transplanted to the open ground, in rich soil, when danger of frost is over, or 

 protected by hand-glasses. For early use, plant, if the weather has become settled and warm, in hills about 

 4 feet apart each way; thin out to four of the strongest plants to each hill, after all danger from insects is 

 over; they succeed best In a warm, moist, rich, loamy soil; continue planting at intervals for a succession. 

 The Cucumbers should be gathered when large enough for use, whether required or not; if left to ripen It 

 destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until the middle part of July. 



ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. 



New Evergreen Cucumber see-'No°veitres' ^ ^"^^ ^^^^^P^io" 



Arlindfnn Whifp ^ninp ^^'^^ is, without exception, the most profitable Cucumber for truckers 

 v^iiiii5iuii TTiiiic jpiiic .g unsurpassed for the amateur. It is beyond question the earliest, 

 most shapely and productive variety of this type; of a green color throughout its entire length, 

 very straight and symmetrical. The quality is fine. Another strong point of merit is its ship- 

 ping qualities; it seems to hold its color and brittleness long after being cut. It needs no rec- 

 ommendation where known, and a trial order will convince you of the truth of this statement. 

 Packet, sc.; oz., loc; 34 lb., 20c.; lb., 6oc.

 I ne UaVIS KerreCl I^UCUmOCr ^ carefully selected strain of the extra long White Spine 

 type, made by a veteran outdoor and greenhouse grower of cucumbers. Its valuable points 

 are length, slimness and its dark green color. It is a very vigorous sort, and resists blight 

 longer than most long sorts. Pkt., lOc; oz., 15c.; }i lb., 20c.; lb., 75c. 



Improved Lon^ Green Selected stock. One of the best for slicing and pickles. A selection 

 ' s from the Long Green. Ihe vmes are very vigorous and productive. 



The fruit, which is about 12 inches long, is formed almost as early as the short sorts. They are

 unsurpassed. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; ^ lb., 20c.; lb., 6oc. 



\mnr(\\n>A \orco\t Plrkl<» This famous sort makes splendid vinegar pickles on account of its 

 iiiipiuvcu JcrJ»cy riLl\ic ^^^^^^ makin- what picklemen call "light" pickle. It is more 

 prolific than White Spine. New land, turned-over pasture, makes the nicest pickle. I have 

 extra selected seed. Packet, 5c.; oz., loc. ; % lb., 20c.; lb., 6oc. 



Small Gherkin ^ ^^^^ small, oval, prickly variety, quite distinct from all others and grown
