emerald Cucumber. 
t. Several years ago we introduced this splendid variety, obtaining our stock seed from one of 
the leading European seed growers. The quality is about as near perfect as can be, and for either 
private or market use, where a handsome lettuce is desired, this variety cannot fail to give satisfac- 
tion. The plant is distinct and handsome in appearance, the beautiful, rich, golden colored leaves 
. never failing to attract attention wherever seen. We cannot recommend it too highly as it is with 
C . put doubt, a lettuce that will please everyone.

A strictly evergreen variety that retains its rich color until 
quite ripe. The vines are of vigorous growth, and the fruits 
lone straight, and of the very finest quality. It is not only de 
' sirable for slicing, but the young fruit makes the most delicious 
pickles imaginable. Valuable for forcing as well as open garden 
culture, and for both private and market use it is one of the most 
valuable cucumbers that has ever been introduced.

This is a perfect type of the green Hubbard, 
I except in color, which is bright orange -~ 
' red, very showy and attractive. The 
fruits are very uniform in size, weighing 
from six to eight pounds, and in shape 
are like the green Hubbard. The flesh is deep 
orange, much richer in color than Hubbard, 
cooks very dry, fine grained and of excellent 
flavor. Fruit matures very early. Their keep- 
ing qualities are fully equal to the green variety, 
and they can be held over in good condition 
for spring use. It is a vigorous grower, and in 
productiveness far excells the old variety. 
Owing to its handsome appearance, and its exc^k v 
lent qualities, the Golden Hubbard is bound and 
deserves to become a most popular variety,
