BEAUTIFUL IN SHAPE AND COLOR AND 
OF THE FINEST QUALITY. 
The fruit is long:, cylindrical, dark green, with 
very white, crisp and tender flesh. 
An entirely new and distinct sort developed by our¬ 
selves through very careful selection. We aim to 
secure the best possible table cucumber. The vine 
is vigorous and productive and comes into full bear¬ 
ing earlier than the Bismarck. An excel¬ 
lent sort for culture under glass.

The stock we offer is a great im¬ 
provement over that usu¬ 
ally sold either as Bismarck 
or Tailby Hybrid, being much 
better and more uniform in 
shape, without the distinct 
neck which was a fault of 
the old stock. It can be de¬ 
pended upon to produce very 
symmetrical, hand8ome. 
dark green fruits which will 
hold their color better than 
those of any other kind. 
This is one of the best sorts 
for growing under glass.

Produced by selection from 
the Long Green. Vines vigor¬ 
ous and productive, forming 
fruit fit for the table nearly as 
early as the shorter sorts; fruit 
about twelve inches long, firm 
and crisp. The young fruit 
m a ke s excellent pickles, 
and when ripe is the best 
for sweet pickles. We offer 
a carefully selected strain, 
uniformly lopg aud of good 
form, with the large warts 
and spines well distributed 
over the surface instead of 
being clustered at one end 
as in inferior stocks. 
Fruit long, pointed at each end, 
very constant in form and color; 
flesh crisp and tender; excellent 
either for pickles or slicing.

A very small, oval, prickly 
variety, quite distinct from 
all others. It is grown ex¬ 
clusively for pickles; is the 
smallest of all the varieties, 
and should always be picked 
when young and tender. The 
seed is slow to germinate, 
requiring usually from two 
to three weeks.
