Davis Perfect Cucumber 
Mr. Eugene Davis, aMicIiigan grower, al¬ 
ready famous as tlie originator of the Davis 
Kidney Wax Bean and tlie Grand Rapids Forc¬ 
ing Lettuce, now comes to tlie front with a new 
cucumber. Tliose who saw our crop last year 
are unanimous in their praises, and say they 
never saw anything to equal it. 
In shape it is slim and symmetrical, ■with 
an average length of 10 to 12 inches ; its color 
is a dark glossy green, which it holds until 
nearly ripe, when the fruit turns white without 
a sign of a yellow streak on it. Its table quali¬ 
ties are unequaled, as it is of exceptionally 
good flavor, unusually tender and brittle and 
has veiy few seeds. 
It is a ■very strong grower, and this fact, 
combined with its fine table qualities and great 
jiroductiveness, makes it invaluable to either 
the grower for market or the home gardener.

New Columbia Celery 
From our observation of this new and very 
distinct variety, we believe it a great acquisition 
in earliness, showy form and superior quality. 
The plant is of medium height, but very 
stocky and heavy. Stalks are thick, resembling 
in shape those of Giant Pascal. The color has 
in it more of the rich yellow tint of Paris Golden 
Self Blanching. The foliage is of a distinctly 
light shade of green, with a tinge of yellow. In 
season it follows in close succession Golden Self 
Blanching. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 50c.; i lb., §1.25;
