4 WEEBER & DON. — NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER, 
This new Cucumber is a strong and vigorous grower, the vines 
attaining nearly twice the length of common varieties . The young 
plants are bushy, but as soon as they become well established, 
they begin to climb, and may be grown on fences, poles or trel- 
lises, thus saving much valuable space in small gardens. The 
fruits are 10 to 12 inches in length, of a fine green color; the flesh is 
thick and firm, never bitter, and fine for pickling as well as slicing. 
It is very prolific, and the fruits, being raised well above the ground 
never suffer from wet weather or insects. Per pkt., 10c; oz., 40c. 
Bennett's White Spine Cucumber. 
W. & D.'s Original Stock. 
This strain grows from seven to ten inches long, proportionately 
thick throughout, being as full at both ends as in the centre. It is a 
week earlier than the variety known as {i Improved White Spine," 
but retains its glossy dark-green color much longer on the vine.

Evergreen White Spine 
Cucumber. 
To those who have never seen or grown 
this valuable variety, we would state that it 
differs from the ordinary White Spine, in 
the fact of always remaining of a deep green 
color in all stages of growth. It grows to 
good length, of handsome, smooth shape, 
very early and prolific. It is a very hardy 
sort, and will not turn yellow after being 
picked from the vine, but will perma- 
nently retain its deep green color. Per

Everbearing Cucumber. 
ICE LETTUCE. NEW 
Everbearing 
Cucumber. 
This is an en- 
tirely new and uni- 
que variety. It is 
of small size, very 
early, enormously 
productive, and 
valuable as a green 
pickler. Its pecu- 
liar merit is that 
the vines continue 
to flower and pro- 
duce fruit until 
killed by frost- Per

This is a novelty of the firstjfrank and the most 
recommendable sort of the wholf& variety of Lettuce. 
The curly edged leaves are very smooth and tender, of 
a bright green reddish tint, and have small indents 
which are continually filled with jdew-drops, thus keep- 
ing the leaves always fresh. 
When seen in the sunshine, tiruly this lettuce seems 
to be covered with small pearls df ice. Hence the name 
* ' Ice Lettuce " was given to it. / It grows very quickly, 
and in all respects must~^9mnarend itself to those who 
try it. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 
FORCING LETTUCE. 
"GOLDEN QUEEN." 
A very desirable small, early variety, of a most 
pleasing golden yellow color, it forms all solid heads, 
with little or no waste, so that there is really more 
to it than in many Lettuces double the size. It 
is very crisp, tender and juicy, and of particularly deli- 
cate flavor, resembling in its tender quality the Boston 
Market Lettuce when that variety is forced with arti- 
ficial heat under glass. Per pkt. , 5 cts. ; per oz. , 15 cts. j 
per % lb., 40 cts.; per lb., $1.25.
