This cucumber Is des¬ 
tined to become one of 
the most popular varie¬ 
ties and we recommend it 
highly to the shipper and 
market or home gardener. 
One of its outstanding 
qualities is that it does 
not taper, but is prac¬ 
tically the same size from 
end to end. The color is 
dark green, making it 
specially attractive for 
display, and the flesh is 
crisp and tender. The 
fruit is long, 9 to 12 in., 
very straight and it is an 
exceptionally heavy 
yielder. Edible in 60 days.

4 ^ 1 . This cucumber is the most delicious of all the 
unciKlU cucumber family when properly pickled. It should 
be more extensively grown. Planted where it may climb on a 
trellis, one vine will cover a section of fence eight feet high and 
twelve feet wide, producing possibly a thousand or more of the 
delicious and oddly shaped gherkins. It should be planted to 
shade a window or back porch. Edible in 60 days. (Pkt. 6 c) 
(oz. 20c) (A lb. 65c) (lb. $2.00) postpaid. 
This variety should be grown more 
Japanese V^limDing extensively; it is equal to others 
in quality and can be grown more economically in a small garden 
by planting near a fence or trellis of any kind, and climbs by 
tendrils as a grape vine. Whether space is a factor or not, we 
recommend it. Edible in 58 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c) (A lb. 65c)

1^1 JJL. This cucumber has steadily grown into favor 
IvlonuiKc since we first offered it. It Is the one va¬ 
riety that made carload shipments possible because it is firm, 
dark green color, and stays green until consumed. It is a desir¬ 
able size. Just 7 to 8 inches long, symmetrical in shape, and es¬ 
pecially crisp and palatable. It Is an excellent variety for pick¬ 
ling when young, as well as desirable for the market. Edible 
in 68 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) (A lb. 45c) (lb. $1.25) postpaid. 
O ala A One of our own introductions and one of the finest 
OalaQ cucumbers ever grown. It is now being sold on the 
market and we advise market gardeners to introduce it to their 
trade. It is a very mild cucumber and does not have the bitter 
or strong taste often found in other varieties. For the home 
gardener a few hills of Salad Cucumber will be one of the most 
interesting things in the garden and the crisp, tasty cucumbers 
will provide a most delicious salad. The color is a bright, ap¬ 
petizing yellow. Try them and you will not be disappointed.
