CUCUHBERS Cont'd. 



WHITE WONDER 

 CUCUMBER. 



The White Wonder surpasses the White Pearl, 

 both in handsome appearance and fine quality, 

 while its strong, vigorous, extremely healthy habit 

 of growth enables the vines to produce a large crop 

 of perfect fruit, even under adverse conditions. 

 Its strong constitution is exceptional. The Cucum- 

 bers are thickly set throughout the length of the 

 vine, and are remarkably uniform in color, shape 

 and size; they average about 8 inches long by 2 to 

 2 1-2 inches through; the skin is extremely thin, but 

 very tough, and the pearly white flesh is exquis- 

 itely fine in quality, very brittle and remains solid 

 for a long time. The color is always ivory white. 

 Owing to its unusual hardiness of constitution, the 

 White Wonder can be planted earlier than most 

 other Cucumbers, and is also a sure cropper,

ENGLISH FORCING 

 CUCUMBER. 



Should be grown in hot-beds where the tempera- 

 ture does not fall below 65 degrees at night. 



TELEGRAPH is the best 25c. Packet. 



ENDIVE. 



German, Endlvien. 



(One ounce of seed to 150 feet of row.) 



For early use, sow as soon as the ground can be 

 worked in the spring, in drills fifteen inches apart, 

 and thin plants to six or eight inches in the row. 

 To blanch the leaves, gather them carefully to- 

 gether when perfectly dry, and tie with matting or 

 soft fibrous material. Another method is to invert 

 flower pots over the plant. The leaves are very 

 highly esteemed for use as salads. 



GREEN CURLED.— The best sort in use. Useful 

 as a salad, and also used for garnishing. 



Pkt. 5c. Oz. 15c. 1-4 lb. 40c. Lb. $1,225. 



EGG PLANT. 



German, Eierpflanze. 



(One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants.) 



Sow the seed in hot-beds early in March. When 

 three inches high pot the young plants, using small 

 pots, and plunge them in the same bed, so that the 

 plants may become stocky. They can be planted 

 out, from the pots, when the season becomes suffi- 

 ciently warm, in May or June; or they can be trans- 

 planted into a second bed to make them strong, 

 until the weather is warm enough to transplant, 

 about three feet apart each way, in thoroughly 

 worked and well enriched soil. Draw the earth up to 

 the stems when about a foot high. Egg-plant seed 

 will not vegetate freely without a strong, uniform 

 heat, and if the plants get the least chilled in the 

 earlier stages of growth they seldom recover. 

 Therefore repeated sowings are sometimes neces- 

 sary. Care should be observed in cutting the fruit 

 so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. 



BALTIMORE EGG PLANT. 



This is decidedly the best and most profitable 

 Egg Plant in cultivation; it is large, thornless, of 

 beautiful shape and handsome purple color. We 

 have never seen finer specimens of Egg Plant than 

 those grown from our seed. When inspecting the 

 field of Egg Plants growing for seed, we were sur- 

 prised at the regular size and uniform, handsome 

 color of the fruit all over the field.
