WHITE WONDER. 
A Splendid White Variety- 
One of the handsomest cucumbers 
of recent introduction. The vines 
are vigorous and rapid in growth, 
thus enabling it to produce a large crop even under the most adverse cir- 
cumstances The cucumbers are an ivory white in color, of good keeping 
quality, and average about eight inches in length by two and a half 
inches through. It is a sure cropper, and the healthy habit of vines 
and hardiness enables it to be planted very early in the season. Pkt.

GIANT PERA. 
Our illustration is an exact representation of this wonderful variety. 
The cucumbers are long, smooth and of a beautiful green color. Unlike 
most sorts they are fit to cat at any stage. 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.

COOL AND CRISP. 
This variety is one of the earliest and most productive of all pickling 
cucumbers. At the pickling stage they are straight, long, even and slim, 
and until fullv 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 
fullv grt>wn, being of good size and exceedingly tender and crisp. It is 
one of the few varieties that bears incessantly the whole season.
