Onn\ onil Prion This variety is one of theearliest 
uUUI dllU UlloUi and most productive of all pick- 
ling cufumbers. At the pickling stage they are 
straight, long, even and slim, and until fully grown 
are of a dark green color. While it is one of the best 
pickling varieties, it is also excellent for slicing, the 
cucumbers, when fully grown, being of good size and exceedingly tender and crisp. 
Incessautly the whole season. Pkt. 5c, oz. lOc, V4, lb. 20c, lb. 65c.

The Oreatest ForoInK Cucumber Ever Offered. Extra Early, a prolific bearer, a vigrorous grrower and 
of splendid shape and quality* That's e^cactly the description given by one who has grown it K)r the early 
market, and it certainly needs no further testimony, as that includes about all the valuable points of an extra early forcing 
variety. It is a most excellent sort for either picklinR or table use, and its earliness at once recommends it to all who wish an 
early cucumber. Give it a trial, it is certain to please you. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 lb. 35o, lb. Sl.lO. 
Ciant PorO illustration is an exact representation of this wonderful variety. The cucumbers are lous, smooth and of a 
DlalK rcldi beautiful green color. TTnlike most sorts they are fit to eat at any stagre. The flesh is white, clear, crisp, 
tender and brittle. For private gardens Giant Pera is one of the most valuable varieties that can be grown, and its enormous 
size, often measuring over twenty inches in length, never fails to attract attention. Pkt. lOo, oz. 15c, Vi lb. 85o> lb. $1.00. 
The best of all Cucumbers for Fioklin? Purposes. For years we experimented with all the 
^ varieties of diflfereDt cucumbers recommended for pickling purposes, testing them by the side of 
I none that equaled it either in yield or quality. Inform it is solid and rather thick, flesh is 
crisp and exceedingly tender, althougrh very firm. Taking all together it is about as near perfection for pickling purposes as a cucumber 
can he. We heartily recommend it to all our friends who desire a choice pickle, and know that thousands of our natrons who purchase it each 
year will gladly endorse our recommendation. All we can add to this is five words, don't fail to try it. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, 14 U). 36c, lb. 91.25. 
The Finest Cucumber for Slicing. As Favorite is best for pickling so Garden Gem is the best of all for slicing and 
the handsomest cucumber for table use we have ever seen. It stirpasses all other kinds for beauty, flavor and 
shape, being quite long, thick through, has a fine flesh and few seeds. For general crop, to come in after our great forcing variety, Early 
Prize, ft is undoubtedly the most desirable sort that can be secured. Private and market gardeners will do well to obtain a supply of the seed 
this season, and we earnestly urge all onr friends who have a kitchen garden to give it a place in their garden patch. Pkt. I60, oz. 25o, Vt lb.

A marvelous climbing variety introdnced from Japan. It is indeed 
a novelty and worthy the attention of every farmer and garden. The 
vines are strong growing and immensely productive, it being estimated that It will yield tbree 
times more tiian any other variety in a given space. The cucumbers are about ten inches in length, 
and of a beautiful green color; the flesh is firm and free from the bitter taste found in some varieties. It 
can be trained on poles, trellises, fences, or in fact any place where a vine can be grown, and 
will save much valuable space in the garden. One of our customers who tried it last season 
writes: **Your Japanese Climbing Cucumber is the wonder of our city." Another one says; 
"The Japanese Climbing Cucumber is the best variety I've ever seen and is certainly un- 
equaled for slicing." Our seed is carefully selected. Pkt. lOc, 3 pkts. 26c, 7 pkts. 50c.
