CUCUMBERS 
B-B Improved Early White Spine 
CULTURE—For very early cucumbers, sow seed 
March 15th in a hotbed. If paper bands are used, 
they can be transplanted without disturbing- the 
root system. When weather has become settled and 
warm, sow seed in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. 
Thin out, leaving 4 of the strongest plants in each 
hill. They do best in rich loamy soil. For succes¬ 
sion of this crop, make plantings at intervals until 
August 10. F-2 Dust is an effective remedy against 
insect enemies of this crop. This should be applied 
frequently with a duster. 
B-B IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE— No doubt the 
very best Cucumber for early market. Will hold 
its intense dark green color better and remain 
edible longer than any other strain of White 
Spine. The skin is smooth, fruits are uniform 
and symmetrical, 8 to 9 inches long and with 
tapering ends. Flesh very firm and crisp. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN —A standard cucumber 
for either slicing or pickling. It is extremely 
prolific and of medium size. For hardiness and 
disease-resistance, it is the very best. The ends 
taper somewhat and it is slightly warted. The 
small pickles are well shaped, and in the slicing 
stage the fruits are very attractive. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 15c; Va lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
B-B LONGFELLOW —Those desiring an extremely 
long, dark green cucumber should plant our 
Longfellow. It grows 12 to 14 inches long, 2 
to 2 V 2 inches in diameter, is handsomely shaped 
and a beautiful dark green color. A splendid 
variety for slicing. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 50c; 
lb. $1.50. 
GHERKIN (Small) —Grown exclusively for pickles. 
The fruit is very small, somewhat oval in shape, 
light green and covered with spines. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 20c; '/a lb. 45c; lb. $1.50. 
B-B LONG WHITE SPINE— About one-fourth longer 
than the Improved White Spine and holds its 
dark bluish green color well, remaining edible 
for a long period after picked. It is fairly pro¬ 
lific and edible in about 60 to 62 days. We 
highly recommend this as a main crop, variety. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 40c; lb. $1.25. 
One of our specialties. Also listed on Page 3. 
STAY GREEN —An early medium sized cucumber 
growing about 6 V 2 x2 1 A inches. It is noted for 
its intensely dark green color which it retains 
for a long period of time. It is an enormous 
yielder and is highly recommended chiefly for 
early market where length is not a necessity. 
It is very doubtful if it is excelled for earliness, 
color and heavy yielding. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va 
lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
DAVIS PERFECT— A long smooth cucumber with 
pointed ends and excellent eating qualities. It 
is a deep green color when in slicing stage; me¬ 
dium late in maturing. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 
35c; lb. $1.00. 
SNOWS PERFECTION PICKLE— Somewhat like the 
Chicago Pickle except that it is smaller. It is 
one of the smoothest, symmetrical pickle kind 
we know of and is highly recommended for its 
uniform early pickles. It is enormously pro¬ 
ductive and the square-ended pickles are very 
attractive. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
WHITE WONDER —A distinct variety of a beauti¬ 
ful snow-white color which it maintains even 
when fully matured. It is very uniform in size 
and shape and usually grows 8 to 10 inches 
long. The flesh is firm and crisp and has a 
very pleasing flavor. Its smooth, clear surface 
makes it an ideal pickle, as well as being a 
splendid slicing sort. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Va lb. 
35c; lb. $1.00. 
EGG PLANT 
1 ounce vrill produce about 1,000 plants. 
CULTURE—Thrives well in any good garden soil. Seeds 
should be sown in hotbeds about March 15th. Transplant 
to cold frames when plants are sufficiently large. If paper 
bands are used, they can be transplanted to open ground 
when soil becomes warm, without disturbing root system. 
They should be set about 2 feet apart in 3% feet rows. Two- 
way Spray keeps bugs away. 
BLACK BEAUTY —About one week earlier than the New 
York Purple and of a rich lustrous purplish black color. 
It is a distinct sort and a favorite where known. The 
plants are remarkably healthy in their growth and yield 
an abundance of large fruit. The fruits are entirely 
spineless and very attractive in appearance. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 50c; Va lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
NEW YORK IMPROVED PURPLE— The strong bushes are 
larger than Black Beauty, keeping the eggs off the ground 
better. The large dark purplish fruit is heavy at the 
base, narrowing at the top. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; Va lb. 
$1.50; lb. $5.00.
