IMPROVED WHITE SPINE— An excel¬ 
lent variety for slicing. Is early and pro¬ 
lific, handsome and straight dark green 
fruits. Flesh tender and of the highest 
quality. 
EARLY CLUSTER— The short, thick 
fruit is produced in clusters close to the 
stem. Early and productive. 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN— We have a 
greatly improved strain that grows 10 to 12 
inches long, and makes the best of pickles 
when young; the full-sized fruits are best 
for sweet pickles and slicing. Dark green 
in color; firm and crisp; quality excellent. 
The vines are vigorous and produce fruits 
in great abundance. 
DAVIS PERFECT —One of the greatest 
cucumbers introduced in many years. Of 
the Long White Spine type. It has grown 
so in popularity that it is regarded as the 
leader of its type. This long dark green 
sort produces wonderfully, besides resist¬ 
ing the blight better than most varieties. 
LONGFELLOW —An excellent long, slen¬ 
der, dark green variety, equally desirable 
for greenhouse forcing or outdoor culture. 
An ideal type for the private garden or as 
a “straight pack” variety for shipment to 
market. 12 to 14 inches long by 2i^ inches 
in diameter. W. S. 
EGG PLANT 
(1 oz. will produce 1,500 plants) 
CULTURE — The seed of the Eggplant 
is very difficult to germinate; repeated 
sowings are often necessary. The seed 
requires heat and should be sown early in 
the spring under glass in a hot-bed. After 
all danger of frost is past and the ground 
has become thoroughly warm, transplant 
in the open. The soil should be thoroughly 
enriched with well rotted manure. 
BLACK BEAUTY— The earliest of all 
large-fruited Eggplant, ten days to two 
weeks earlier than the New York Purple. 
The color is a rich shiny purplish black. 
It is entirely free from spines. 
KOHL RABI 
(1 oz. will produce 3,000 plants) 
CULTURE —Kohl Rabi requires exactly 
the same treatment as Cabbage. For early 
use sow the seed thinly in hot-bed and 
transplant to open ground when frost has 
left the soil. The bulbs should be used be¬ 
fore they reach their full size and while 
the skin is still tender. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA— Very early; 
small tops and of fine delicate flavor. 
EARLY PURPLE VIEN N A — Identical 
with the above except color, which in this 
sort is a rich purple.
