CUCUMBER —Continued 
A «• . A selection from the Early White Spine, being more pointed at 
Arlington each end. The young fruits are crisp and tender and are of 
dark green color. Considered by many to be the best sort for small pickles 
Excellent also for slicing. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; Va Lb. 25c; Lb. 90c. 
i*i A medium early, white spined cucumber of handsome, very dark 
KJonulKe green color and of excellent quality for slicing. The vines are 
very hardy and productive. The fruits when mature are about eight inches 
long, and are uniform in size and shape. Color dark green, slightly striped at 
the ends. The dark green color is retained much longer and is affected less 
by the hot sun than any other sort with which we are familiar. Its uniform 
' size and shape, and splendid color is making this variety very popular as a 
shipping sort. (See cut and further description in Supplement, pane

through very careful selection, our aim being to secure the best possible

bearing somewhat later than Early White Spine. This variety is adapted 
also for forcing. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; Va Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00

very long, often twelve inches, 
slender and of uniformly dark 
green color. Furnishes some 
fruits early but matures the 
bulk of its crop rather late. 
Excellent for slicing and very 
largely used for pickles. The 
mature fruits are often used 
for making sweet pickles. We 
offer a carefully selected 
strain uniformly long, of good 
form and with the large warts 
and spines well distributed over the surface instead of being clustered at 
one end as m inferior stocks. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; Va Lb. 35c;

Small filler tin i Fo Z . A small i prickly

and grown exclusively for pickles. It is the smallest of all the 
varieties and should always be picked when young and tender 
Seed distinctly smaller than other cucumbers and is slow to 
germinate, requiring usually from two to three weeks. Pkt 5c-

The seed should be sown in drills about sixteen inches apart, 
on very rich ground and the plants well cultivated. It may be 
planted very early but repeated sowings are necessary to secure 
a succession. Keep off insects by dusting with P; .arum powder. 
Purler! or P^nn^i* The leaves of this small salad 
Luriea, or i epper Larass are much frilled or curled, 
and are used as a garnishing; also desirable with lettuce, to 
the flavor of which its warm, pungent taste makes a most 
agreeable addition. Of rapid growth, about one foot high

best in the cool autumn months. Also known as Upland. Pkt. 5c-

T,lis is a dis tinct. variety of cress with small, 
i rue vv cXier oval leaves and thrives best when its roots and 
stems are submerged in water. A fair growth may be obtained 
in sou which is kept wet but does best when grown along moist 
banks or in tubs in water-covered soil. It is one of the most de¬ 
licious of small salads and should be planted wherever a suit¬ 
able place can be found. The seed is usually sown and lightly 
covered in gravelly, mucky lands along the borders of small, 
rapid streams. The plants will need no subsequent culture, as 
under favorable conditions they increase very rapidly by self- 
sown seed and extension of the roots. When gathered for the 
market the shoots should be cut, not broken off. In summer it is 
best to cut them closely, the oftener the better. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c;
