Possessing Every Qualification Required of a Perfect 
Pickling Cucumber and is Four-to-One' in Productive¬ 
ness with Other Standard Sorts

is used exclusively by many pickle factories through¬ 
out the country. The fruit is of medium size, 
slender, cylindrical, with large spines and of dark 
green color. It is wonderfully even in growth and 
the whole crop can be depended upon to make 
fine shaped pickles. The vines begin to set the 
fruit when quite young and continue to bear longer 
than any other variety, yielding many hundred 
bushels per acre. You will find this variety valuable 
for slicing also, being of fine flavor, crisp and de¬ 
licious. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 30c; Vi lb. 50c;

Our Everbearing Cucumber is not only extremely 
prolific, but will continue in bearing throughout the 
season. The fruits are of medium size and rich, 
dark green color, average from 4 to 5 inches in 
length. The merit of this variety is in the fact 
that the vines produce fruit continuously, until killed 
by frosts. They exhibit at the same time Cucum¬ 
bers in every stage of growth, but invariably of 
perfect form, even when quite small. The fruit is 
of fine green color and very desirable for pickling,

New Extra Early Long Green 
The Ideal Variety to Plant for General Crop 
Produced by selection from Long Green. Vines 
vigorous and productive, forming fruit fit for the 
table nearly as early as the shorter sorts. Fruits 
often measure 15 to 20 inches when fully matured. 
They are of fine quality, firm and crisp. Highly 
valued for slicing. The young fruits make the best 
pickles, and when ripe are preferable to any for 
sweet pickles. Our strain is the finest in the market, 
producing fruits uniformly long, slender, of fine 
dark green color and of good form, with the large 
warts and spines well distributed over the surface.
