The seeds have an aromatic 
odor and a warm, pungent taste. 
Much used for seasoning and for 
its medicinal qualities but the 
largest use is in the manufacture 
of Dill pickles. 
Long Island Mammoth — 
The finest sort.

Cucumber will succeed best if planted after the ground has become 
thoroughly warm, in hills four feet apart. Mix a shovelful of well 
rotted manure with the soil in each hill. Sprinkle with wood ashes or 
insect powder when the vines are small to protect from bugs. When 
all danger is past, thin out, leaving four plants to the hill 
One ounce will plant 50 hills. About 3 pounds per acre. 
Hybrid White Spine — Certainly the highest yielding and probably 
the hardiest of all Cucumbers. The fruits are long 
and straight, rather slim and of a very attractive 
rich, deep green color which is set off by numer¬ 
ous showy white spines. The color stays green for 
over a week making it an extra good shipper. Al¬ 
though the Hybrid is not an extra early Cucum¬ 
ber its productivity and high yield more than 
make up for this. We have taken great pains to 
make our strain of this splendid variety the finest 
obtainable. 
Hart’s Straight Pack — A new hot-house cucum¬ 
ber which succeeds equally well in the garden. 
The fruits measure about 12 by 23^ inches and 
are very symmetrical throughout. Their de¬ 
sirable dark-green, glossy appearance lasts well 
and the fruit stands shipping splendidly. For 
the home garden no Cucumber is as large, as 
attractive or as thoroughly satisfactory as this, 
the best of the straight pack types. 74 days. 
Black Diamond — The cucumber all growers for market want. Will 
grow in all sections and soils. Fruit is about 7x3 inches, smooth and 
cylindrical, and is a dark green from end to end. The flesh is white, 
firm and crisp. Its faculty for retaining its color and its remarkable 
productiveness make it a great money maker for all kinds of gardeners. 
52 days. 
Early Fortune — A fine type of White Spine. Early, productive, 
and disease resistant, 9 x 23^ inches, slightly tapering, flesh white, firm, 
and crisp, shy seeder, color dark green which does not fade. 58 days. 
Imp. White Spine — Earliest and best known of all the Spine types; 
short, square-ended, rather three-cornered, very prolific and splendid 
for slicing or pickling; a medium dark green, 7 x 23^ inches. 58 days. 
Davis Perfect — Extra long, dark green White Spine, good slicing and 
market cucumber. Matures a little earlier than the Early Fortune, 
11 x23 4 inches. Retains its color and qualities long after being picked. 
Improved Long Green — A long and slender Cucumber, tapering 
somewhat toward the ends. It is slightly warted, being one of the 
Black Spine types and the flesh is white and very firm. One of the 
finest all purpose Cucumbers being equally good for table use and for 
pickling. Size 12 x 23^ inches. 58 days. 
Boston Pickling — Straight and uniform, a very bright green and of 
excellent quality. Makes good pickles, x 23^ inches. 58 days. 
Snow’s Perfected Pickling — The most symmetrical, most productive 
and best formed pickling Cucumber. The fruits are early, small, 
square-ended and have very few spines. Size 53^ by 23^ inches. 56 days. 
China Long — A distinct novelty. They sometimes attain a length of 
20 inches and remain only 2 inches thick. The skin is dark green and 
smooth being nearly spineless and the flesh is firm and crisp and of 
high quality. 
West India Gherkin — Very small oval shaped fruit covered with 
numerous small prickly spines. It is a deep green color and is used 
almost exclusively for pickles. About 2 inches long and 13^ inches thick. 
Early Fortune Cucumber 
Snake or Serpent — Not an edible fruit but 
valuable as a curiosity. As the name suggests 
it is long and narrow and coils and twists about 
like a serpent.
