VEGETABLE SEEDS—Continued 
Cucumbers 
On no seed can you gain more by buying our way than you can on Cucumber and 
?ther vine plants. You gain almost ten times as inuch by buying by the ounce and 
pound as by the old style package. There is a secret in keeping this seed so it will 
germinate and gain from 6 to 10 days in growing maturity, and a trial of our seed, 
side by side with any other seed will convince you. 
Prices on all Cucumbers: oz., 5c; 1 oz., 8c; M lb., 30c; 1 lb., ^1.00. 
Ik.rling’ton White Spine. One of the most profitable of the white spines. It is the leading variety 
in many eastern markets. 
Black Diamond. Same as the Kirby or Stays Green. It produces fruits about eight inches in 
length, cylindrical, blunt ends and with an intense dark green, color. Extremely productive and 
early, those being the chief qualities. 
Boston Fickler. A good one, general favorite in the eastern markets. One of oiTr best sellers. 
I^hicagfo Pickling*. A big favorite at pickling works, grows the fruit in bunches, a regular mass 
of blooms and pickles when gathered daily. 
mark’s Special. About ten inches in length, white spine with tapering ends and it also has an 
exceptionally dark green color. It is somewhat later and not so prolific as the Black Diamond. 
For a shipping cucumber it can hardly be surpassed because of its ability to hold its color. 
Davis Perfect. This is King of Cucumbers, largest, a heavy bearer of perfect salable fruit, 
becoming known everywhere and a general favorite. 
Barly Portune. Rich, dark green color, 7 to 8 inches long when left for slicing, good shipper 
Rnd market sort, few seeds and equally as good for pickles as for slicing. Very resistant to 
disease. One of the best sorts. 
Barly White Spine. A good crisp one, early to mature. A general favorite as an early variety, 
Vvidely planted for pickling factories, etc. 
Pordhook Pamous. Strong grower and very productive, does not blight; makes good pickles; 
grows from 12 to 15 inches, very tender and crisp, practically spineless. 
EiOndon XiOngf Green. This is by far the best Tong green variety. 12 to 16 inches long, of a 
superior quality. The young fruit is best for pickling and when matured is fine for sweet pickles ; 
a good sheer. 
Short Green. Similar to Long Green but matures earlier; shorter. Great favorite for picklers 
and market. 
(Taugrhan or Long'fellow. This is as much in advance over the Davis Perfect variety as the 
“Davis” was over the old extra Long White Spine sorts. Compared to the other Long White 
Spine varieties it is much darker in color, more uniform in shape and size, thinner, and more 
prolific. It is the ideal 
American forcing va¬ 
riety, as well as an out¬ 
door sort. Our customers 
who grow it have green¬ 
house Cucumbers raised 
outdoors. J, C. Robin¬ 
son of Waterloo, Nebraska, writes: “We have tried 
the Vaughan Cucumber out for 2 years in our trials. 
It certainly will displace most other kinds, in our 
opinion.”
