Giiclintber, IVory Mor^ard}. 
All things considered this will undoubtedly prove to be the most 
important new vegetable this year. As a Cucumber it is indeed a 
marvel. It grows to the length of about two feet, and from the 
time it is an inch in length, its color is pure ivory white. It fre¬ 
quently exceeds six pounds in weight which makes it about six 
times heavier than any other Cucumber. 11 is really a monster and 
when half grown exceedingly flue in quality. Its enormous size, 
great beauty and oddity makes it one of the finest vegetables for 
exhibiting at fairs, and it never fails to capture first prize. Its 
ilesh is thick and solid with a very small seed cavity, and notwith¬ 
standing its great size it has fewer seeds than any other Cucumber 
we ever saw. This superb novelty is owned entirely by ourselves, 
and cannot be had elsewhere this year. Per pkt., 20c.; 3 pkts., 50c.

The vines of this excellent 
Tomato grow to a great length, 
and when trained and supported 
they will climb ten or twelve 
feet. They can be trained over 
a door or window, on trellises 
or the sides of buildings, and 
make a very unique object 
when loaded with their large, 
red fruit. It is one of the best 
Tomatoes grown, as the fruit is 
large, smooth, solid and of line 
flavor. Per pkt., 10c. 
It is the general verdict that 
Childs’ naif Century Lettuce, 
is indeed the finest of all. Noth¬ 
ing of the sort can compare with 
it in quality. No garden is 
complete without it. See next
