SEEDS PRODUCE PRIZE CROPS. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER. 
This is a novelty in so far as it combines the two-fold quality of 
being valuable as an ornamental climber, suitable for covtrirg arbors, 
summer seats, etc. and at the same time produces a crop of the very 
best flavored fruit. The vines are of fine vigorous growth, sometimes 
attaining a height of ten feet. The foliage is a rich, dark green. The 
plants come into bearing quickly and continue throughout the season. 
The cucumbers are from ten to sixteen inches long, of dark green 
color, tender and of delicate flavor. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 
lb., $1.00. 
THE EMERALD CUCUMBER. 
This variety, the 
originator says, em¬ 
braces every good 
point in the best 
strains of White 
Spine, and in addi¬ 
tion possess that 
rich dark green color 
which has been so 
long sought for. On 
sight, its distinct 
dark gr e e n and 
spineless skin at¬ 
tracts the attention 
and admiration of 
every one interested. 
The flesh of the 
fruit is peculiarly 
crisp and tender, 
and the flavor deli¬ 
cate. The young 
fruit make excellent pickles, and when ripe none excel them for sweet 
pickles. For those who grow under glass, or for long distance ship¬ 
ping, it will prove a boon, on account of holding its deep green color 
so much longer than any of the other white spine sorts. Pkt., 15 cts.; 
2 for 25 cts.; 10 for $1.00. 
l * My people here have been very well pleased with the
