NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 7 
A New Hybrid Cucumber — "Iceland" 
The "Lemon" Cucumber, a native of Central America, is a quite dis- 
tinct species from the common long green cucumbers so universally 
grown. It is small and not a good form for slicing, yet the quality is so 
superior that it is grown more and more extensively each season for 
home use. By crossing this species with Burpee's long snow-white 
cucumber, sent out a few years ago, a new and wholly distinct strain 
has been produced, which surpasses all other cucumbers in crispness 
and delicacy of flavor and is of very large size and astonishingly pro- 
ductive. In the combination of these good qualities it is unequaled by 
any other cucumber. You will probably have more fun raising and

eating these cucumbers than anything else in the garden, and I hereby 
offer five dollars for the largest one sent me and five dollars for the 
most unique one. 
Price per packet of fifty seeds, 50c; three packets, $1. 
The New Bantam Corn 
The early Bantam Sweet Corn, introduced by W. Atlee Burpee & Com- 
pany several years ago, is quite universally known as the best of all 
early sweet corns. The ears are short and only eight rows to the ear. 
By most rigid selection for eight years I have produced an Early Ban- 
tam more uniform in all respects, more productive, and with TWELVE 
ROWS of corn to each ear. 
Packet, 25c; ounce, 40c; pound, $3. 
I also offer an improved eight-rowed strain. Packet, 15c; ounce, 30c; 
pound, $1.25.
