IVlOnaiKe cucumber of handsome, very 
dark 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 are making 
this variety very popular as a shipping 
sort. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c;

fruits are long, cylindrical, dark green, 
with very white, crisp and tender flesh. 
This ig an entirely distinct sort developed 
by ourselves through very careful selec¬ 
tion, our aim being to secure the best pos¬ 
sible table cucumber. The vine is vigorous 
and productive and comes into full bear¬ 
ing somewhat later than Early White 
Spine. The mature fruits are about eight 
to nine inches long. This variety is adapted 
also for forcing. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

of uniformly dark green color. The variety 
furnishes some fruits early but matures 
the bulk of its crop rather Tate. This is an 
excellent sort for slicing and is 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 in 
inferior stocks. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

fruited sort quite distinct from all others 
and grown exclusively for pickles. It is the 
smallest* of all the varieties and should 
always be picked when young and tender.

CRESS 
As early in spring as the ground can be worked sow the seed in rich, well pre¬ 
pared soil, in shallow drills about sixteen inches apart, covering with about one-luilf 
inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When the young plants are well started thin, 
four to six inches apart in the row. For succession plant every two weeks, thinning- 
out as required for use. Keep off insects by dusting with Pyrethrum powder. 
Pn**l ™ __ r oo The leaves of this small sa,a<1 are much frilled or 
v^uriea or i epper Vxrass curled, and are used for garnishing; also desir¬ 
able with lettuce, to the flavor of which its warm, pungent taste makes a most, 
agreeable addition. The plant is of rapid growth, about one foot high. Pkt. 5c -

•y ur , This is a distinct variety of cress with small, oval leaves and thrives. 
1 me W ater best when its roots and stems are submerged in water. \ fair 
growth may be obtained in soil which is kept wet but does best when grown along 
moist banks or in tubs in wai er-covered soil. It is one of the most delicious of small 
salads and should be planted, wherever a suitable 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 ami 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. 75c.
