VEGETABLE SEEDS—Continued 
Cucumbers 
On no seed can you gain more by buying our way than you can on 
Cucumber and other vine plants. You gain almost ten times as much by 
buying by the ounce and pound as by the old style package. There is a 
secret in keeping this seed so it will germinate and gain from 6 to 10 
days in growing maturity, and a trial of our seed, side by side with any 
other seed will convince you. 
Prices on all Cucumbers: J4 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; M lb., 35c; 1 lb., 
$1.30. 
Arlington White Spine. One of the most profitable of the white spines. It is 
the leading variety in many eastern markets. 
Black Diamond. Same as the Kirby or Stays Green. It produces fruits about 
eight inches in length, cylindrical, blunt ends and with an intense dark green 
color. Extremely productive and early, those being the chief qualities. 
Boston Pickling. A good one, general favorite in the eastern markets. One 
of our best sellers. 
Chicago Pickling. A big favorite at pickling works, grows the fruit in 
bunches, a regular mass of blooms and pickles when gathered daily. 
Clark’s. Special. About ten inches in length, white spine with tapering ends 
and it also has an exceptionally dark green color. It is somewhat later and 
not so prolific as the Black Diamond. For a shipping cucumber it can hardly 
be surpassed because of its ability to hold its color. 
Colorado Cucumber. (New). The Colorado cucumber averages 10 to 12 inches 
in length, is very slender and well-formed, and very dark green. It is very 
early and the best bearing of all slender cucumbers. 
Davis Perfect. This is King of Cucumbers, largest, a heavy bearer of perfect 
salable fruit, becoming known everywhere and a general favorite. 
Early Fortune. Rich, dark green color, 7 to 8 inches long when left for slicing, 
good shipper and market sort, few seeds and equally as good for pickles as 
for slicing. Very resistant to disease. One of the best sorts. 
Early White Spine. A good crisp one, early to mature. A general favorite 
as an early variety, widely planted for pickling factories, etc. 
Fordhook Famous. Strong grower and very productive, does not blight; 
makes good pickles; grows from 12 to 15 inches, very tender and crisp, prac¬ 
tically spineless. 
IiOndon Dong' Green. This is by far the best long green variety. 12 to 16 
inches long, of a superior quality. The young fruit is best for pickling and 
when matured is fine for sweet pickles; a good slicer. 
Short Green. Similar to Long Green but matures earlier; shorter. Great fa¬ 
vorite for picklers and market. 
Vaug'han or LongTellow. This is as much in advance over the Davis Perfect 
variety as the “Davis” was over the old extra Long White Spine sorts. Com¬ 
pared to the other Long White Spine varieties it is much darker in color, 
more uniform in shape and size, thinner, and more prolific. It is the ideal 
American forcing variety, as well as an outdoor sort. Our customers who 
grow it have greenhouse Cucumbers raised outdoors. J. C. Robinson of 
Waterloo, Nebraska, writes: “We have tried the Vaughan Cucumber out for 
2 years in our trials. It certainly will displace most other kinds, in our 
opinion.”
