CUCUMBERS —Continued 
Harris’ Perfection 
The Finest Long Green Variety 
Year after year we compare this 
variety with the best and newest long 
green kinds and always find that for all 
around good qualities it tops the list. 
We have been breeding this cucumber 
for a good many years and have now so 
perfected it that the fruit is more uni¬ 
form in shape, size and color than any 
other kind we know. Many of our cus¬ 
tomers tell us that because of its even¬ 
ness in size and handsome deep green 
color, Harris’ Perfection commands a 
premium over other varieties. 
The fruit is white spined, long, 
straight, smooth and handsome, deep 
green with small white rays on the blos¬ 
som end. It retains this deep green 
color for a long time after picking. The 
cucumbers will average over a foot long 
when matured and some reach 15 
inches in length. 
This variety is well adapted for 
dill pickles as well as for general mar¬ 
ket. See price below. 
Mr. Joseph Schickler of Coldwater grows his 
Harris’ Perfection Cucumbers between rows of sweet corn. 
IRONDEQUOIT HOTHOUSE—Greenhouse Bred Strain 
This is the famous variety which has been developed by the greenhouse growers around 
Rochester. The seed has been saved entirely from perfect fruit grown under glass in the well 
known Irondequoit gardening section and will produce remarkably fine uniform cucumbers. The 
fruit is long, slender, and deep green. It is nearly perfectly solid with very few seeds. The vines 
are vigorous and very prolific. 100 seeds $1.00; 500 seeds $4.00; 1000 seeds $7.00. 
CHICAGO PICKLING. 
Very prolific and profitable for pickles. The young fruit is straight, square 
ended and of medium deep green color. Black Spine. 
CHINA. Finest Quality. 
Grows 15 to 20 in. long and very slender. This is an excellent kind for road¬ 
side stands. Their length and smoothness give them the appearance of hot- 
house-grown ones. For full description see our retail catalogue.
