About Varieties. The white spined varieties 
retain their green color even when ripe, while 
the black spined kinds turn yellow when mature. 
Harris’ Perfection is one of the best of the white 
spines. Longfellow is a little longer but does not 
yield as well. Early Fortune is an inch or two 
shorter and is used largely for market and ship¬ 
ping. Early White Spine is rather short, early and 
a popular kind for pickles as well as for slicing. 
China is of excellent quality. Harris’ Double

Pickle are the best for pickles.

Lemon Cucumber 
Irondequoit Hothouse Cucumber 
The gardeners around Rochester have developed a very fine hot¬ 
house cucumber that has proved the most profitable variety to raise 
under glass. 
The fruit is long, slender, deep green and nearly perfectly solid, 
very few seeds, and in some fruit practically none at all. The vines 
are wonderfully vigorous and very prolific. 
The seed we offer was saved entirely from fruit grown under glass. 
Packet of 50 seeds 60c; 100 seeds $1.00; 500 seeds $4.00. 
“Last year was the first year I used any of your seeds. This year I am plant¬ 
ing them exclusively. I had wonderful success with your China cucumber .”
