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 b> 
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: *2 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; lb., 35c; 1 lb., #1.20. 
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. Ex¬ 
tremely 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, practically spineless. 
London Long - 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 favorite for 
picklers and market. 
• 
Vaughan or Longfellow. This is as much in ad¬ 
vance over the Davis Perfect variety as the “Davis” 
was over the old extra Long White Spine sorts. 
Compared to the other Long White Spine varieties 
it is much darker in color, more 
uniform in shape and size, thin¬ 
ner, and more prolific. It is the 
ideal American forcing variety, as 
well as an outdoor sort. Our cus¬ 
tomers who grow it have green¬ 
house Cucumbers raised outdoors. 
J. C. Robinson of Waterloo, 
Nebraska, writes : “We have 
tried the Vaughan Cucum¬ 
ber out for 2 years in our 
trials. It certainly will dis¬ 
place most other kinds, in 
our opinion.” X ezc Colorado Cucumber
