Our Everbearing Cucumber (No. 186) 
This variety is entirely distinct from all others on account of its 
close, bushy growth and everbearing character as shown in our il- 
lustration. The first cucumbers are ready very early and the vines 
continue to flower and produce fruit continually until late in the 
season, whether the ripe cucumbers are picked off or not, differing 
in this respect from all other varieties of cucumbers in cultivation. 
A single vine will show at the same time cucumbers in every stage 
of growth, the smaller ones being perfect in shape, of a fine green 
color, just the right size for pickling. As they grow larger they are 
entirely satisfactory as a slicing cucumber. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
15 cents; ^ pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25; postpaid. 
Chicago Pickle (No. 183) 
poses all over the country. While they can be used when full grown 
for slicing, yet it is pre-eminently a pickling variety, its small size, 
very dark green color and immense productiveness making it a fa- 
vorite for that purpose. The pickling factories usually insist on 
A Single Plant of HASTINGS’ Everbearing Cucumber this variety for smaller sized pickling work. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
10 cents; ^ pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00; postpaid.

OUR KLONDIKE CUCUMBER— ONE OF OUR VARIETIES THAT ALWAYS STAYS GREEN 
ThA 1C lAttrlSIrA C^iiAiimkAH ^ Na I (Hastings’ Special Strain)— When the Klondike was first introduced we were much 
I 11“ umlwflOlilkC wUdllllU“i I 0*1^ impressed with many of its good points, but it was so irregular in growth that we 
did not care to catalogue it until we had bred it up to a satisfactory condition. Our special strain of Klondike which we now have is very 
regular in size, color and growth and will be sure to please you. It’s a very attractive, dark green variety, with a green that stays for 
days after being picked and shipped. Cucumbers are from 7 to 8 inches long, 2 to 2^ inches in diameter; very regular in size and shape; 
extra early ; very crisp and unsurpassed for slicing. It makes excellent pickles when young. Very hardy and prolific and a sure cropper.
