Long Green Improved or London 
CUCUMBER—Continued 
LANDRETHS’ EXTRAORDINARY—65 Days 
So very superior in every particular to the ordinary 
stock of White Spine as not to be classed with it. 
Vine a strong grower, foliage broad leaved, deep 
green, close-jointed. Does not sunburn. Blooms 
early and sets fruit in every blossom; consequently 
very prolific. Fruit 8| to 10 inches long, slightly 
tapering at both ends. Pickles can be gathered in 
50 days. Fine for slicing and can be picked in nine 
weeks. A fine variety of White Spine. It is unsur¬ 
passed as a shipping Cucumber. 
Long Green Improved or London—70 Days 
A Black Spine variety. Vines very vigorous and 
productive. One of the best, if not the best, variety 
for slicing and salting. A very shy seeder; con¬ 
sequently, hard to get farmers to grow for seed; but 
very prolific bearer. A universal favorite and more 
largely sold Than any long green cucumber on the 
market. Hardy and disease resistant, fruit 12 to 13 
inches long, somewhat pointed at the ends with 
warts particularly on stem end. See photograph 
above. 
• • Vi 
Long Green Turkey—75 Days 
Black Spined. A shy producer of seed, but a prolific 
bearer and is highly recommended to all who put up 
their own pickles. Fruit is long, dark, slim, showing 
a tendency to make a small neck at the stem end. 
New Hybrid—65 Days 
This is identical to Clark’s Special and Woodruff 
Hybrid. The size and shape are approximately the 
same as Early Fortune, possibly an inch longer and 
slightly thicker. It is later than Early Fortune and 
not as heavy a cropper. It is particularly desirable 
because of its intense dark green color and its ex¬ 
cellent long distance shipping qualities. 
Short Prolific or Green Prolific Pickle—56 Days 
A short-vined, short-fruited, productive variety, 
producing fruit for pickling in a comparatively short 
time. Black Spine, an abundant bearer, highly 
recommended for pickles, for which it is used by 
many of the most famous pickling establishments. 
Short vine allows planting in rows as close as 2j 
feet.. 
Snow’s Prolific Pickle—55 Days 
In appearance of fruit a variation of the “Chicago 
Pickle,” but considerably longer in vine than “Short 
Prolific,” which was given its name because of its 
exceedingly short vine. The fruit of “Snow’s 
Prolific” is more uniformly even in diameter from 
end to end, small, early, dark green, both ends blunt. 
It has a reputation of being more productive than 
any of its class and in every way suitable for pickling, 
consequently used to a very large extent by the best 
pickle houses. “Snow’s Prolific Pickle” is more 
universally used than any other pickling variety. 
Our stock is selected with the greatest care. 
Gherkin, Burr or West India Gherkin—50 Days 
A round, prickly Cucumber. Used for pickles only. 
The seed gets very hard, consequently, before plant¬ 
ing, it should be soaked well as.it takes it so long to 
sprout under ordinary conditions. Form of fruit 
resembles a horse chestnut burr.
