very handsome and productive, with flesh firm, but very 
crisp and tender. Vines sturdy and prolific. 
Davis Perfect — The best northern marliet Cucumber of the 
extra long white spine type. It is a new variety, and 
since its introduclion has jumped inlo such prominence 
that iit may rightfully be regarded as the most popular 
variety of its typ© today. The Davis Perfect has been 
most carefully selected by a veteran outdoor and green- 
house grower of Cucumbers for length, slimness and its 
dark green color. 
Fordhook Fani0iis — A long White Spine variety growing 
from 10 to 12 inches. Earlier and fully as long as Long 
Green and of equally good quality.

crisp, and is of the White Spine type, pure white when 
ripe.

lent for table use or pickling.

Improved Lonjj Green — Not quit© so early as the above 
named sorts but admitted to be the best general crop 
Cucumber for this climate; good color, very prolific, 
crisp and tender. 
White Wonder— When only half grown is exceedingly fine 
in quality. Its beautiful white skin is very smooth; en- 
tirely free from Spines. They are solid, tender and 
crisp, witfi very small seed cavity; splendid for slicing. 
Its enormous size, beauty and oddity make it one of the 
best Cucumbers for exhibition at fairs, never failing to 
capture ^irst prize. 
Everbearing — Small size, very early and enormously pro- 
ductive and valuable as a green pickler. It continues 
to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost whether 
the Cucumbers are picked off or not. Remarkably solid 
with very few seeds and of fine quality. Invariably of 
perfect form even when small. 
Cucumber — Boston Pickling. 
Boston Pickling — Very productive, grown largely for 
pickles. Fruit medium sized, very smooth bright green. 
Japanese Climbing — A strong and vigorous grower, and 
while all Cucumbers are running or creeping vines, this 
variety attains nearly twice the length of ordinary sorts 
and can be grown on trellises, fences or poles. The 
fruits from ten to twelve inches in length, are of ex- 
cellent quality either for slicing or pickling. 
Rollinson's Telegraph — For forcing. Long green Cucum- 
bers of excellent flavor, very tender and solid. We have 
grown this variety under glass to a length of 25 inches.

with the Chicago and Eastern growers for forcing under 
glass for the early and winter markets. Of medium 
size, very prolific, of good color and most excellent 
quality.
