NEW SIBERIAN CUCUMBER. 
THE EARLIEST. 
Of all the varieties in our test garden the 
past season, the Siberian produced the tirst 
cucumbers of edible size. The cucumbers are 
nither short, thick, straight and smooth, and 
of first-class quality. This is the best early 
cucumber we have ever seen. Lb. Toe.. 34 lb.

JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER. 
After two years’ trial of this cucumber we 
are convinced that it is one of the best varie¬ 
ties either for table use or pickling. Although 
the vines will climb if given an opportunity, 
they do perfectly well on the ground like 
other cucumbers. Their vigor of growth and 
healthy foliage are quite remarkable. The 
cucumbers are long, straight, dark green, and 
veru wild and crisp. Season medium to late. 
Very prolific. Lb. $1.50, 34 lb. 50c.. oz. 20c., 
pkt. 10c. 
COOL AND CRISP CUCUMBER 
This new variety remained green longer 
than any other variety: in fact, they do not get 
ripe at all before frost. The cucumbers are 
long, straight dark green and very solid and 
crisp. Excellent for pickles as well as for table 
use. Lb. $1.00, lb. 30c., oz. 15c., pkt. 5c. 
NEW EVERBEARING CUCUMBER. 
The peculiar merit of this variety lies in the fact that it will start to 
bear small cucumbers early and keep on producing them whether the 
others arc picked or not. This makes it a valuable variety for pickles.

PARIS PICKLING 
CUCUMBER. 
This is called a “pickling” cucumber, and 
is undoubtedly valuable for this purpose,being 
long, slender and crisp and dark green, but In 
our opinion thero is no cucumber equal to it 
for slicing for table use. When thecucumbers 
are 8 to 10 inches long t hey are notover 1 or 1)4 
inches in diameter, and so solid, crisp and fine 
flavored that they can be picked oft* the vines 
and eat en wit hout dressing of any kind. This, 
wethiuk, could hardly he said of any other 
variety. For pickles it is unsurpassed. When 
3 or 4 Inches long it is hardly thicker then a 
lead pencil, and perfectly solid and crisp.

GIANT WHITE CUCUMBER. 
This is a wonderful cucumber. It grows 
from 15 to 20 Inches long, perfectly straight, 
and of a beautiful creamy white color from 
the time if Is an inch long until full grown. 
When half grown they aro magnificent for 
slicing, being crisp, tender and of the finest 
flavor. For exhibition purposes thero is noth¬ 
ing that will attract more attention than a 
few full-grown specimens of this giant of cu- 
cumbors. 34 lb. "5c., oz. 25c., pkt. 10c. 
STANDARD VARIETIES. 
Wc offer choico strains of seed of the following well-known varieties at 
the uniform price of G5c. per lb., *4 lb. 20c., oz. 10c., pkt. 5c. 
Improved Long Green— Excellent for plcklos or slicing. 
Tallby’s Hybrid— A cross between Whito Hplno and a long English forcing 
cucumber. 
Early Green Cluster— Fine for pickles. 
Early Russian Very early, short, solid and crisp. 
Early Frame -Best for forcing. 
Green Prolific Very productive. Excellent for pickles. 
Early White Spine— very popular for market, pickles and home use. 
SWEET CORN. 
CULTURE.—Sweet Corn requires richer land than fleld corn to 
develop it in perfection. A liberal application of manure or fertilizer will 
pay well. Plant In rows 3 feet apart and hills 2 feet apart In the rows. Do 
not plant until the ground is quite warm. 
NEW WHITE CORY CORN. 
The Cory is the earliest sweet corn. There are others that some claim 
to be earlier, but with us they have not proved so. The New White Cory, 
obtained by selection from the Cory, is equally ai early, and has the addi¬ 
tional advantage of while kernels and cob. Qt. 40c., pt 22c , *4 P l * 15c.. 
pkt. 5c. 
SHAKER'S EARLY SWEET CORN. 
THE BEST EARLY SWEET CORN FOR HOME USE OR MARKET. 
We have raised this corn for years and have never found any varieties 
equal to it. It is a second early variety, coming on right after Cory or 
Marblehead, and is as early as Minnesota, but with ears twice the size, and 
corn of better quality, being deliciously sweet, succulent and tender. 
There is no better variety for home use or for market. Wc sell large 
quantities to canning establishments, who find it a very superior variety 
for their purpose. Qt 35c , pt. 10c., % pt 12c., pkt. 5c. 
" COUNTRY GENTLEMAN” SWEET CORN. 
A new variety of remarkably fine quality. The kernels are arranged 
irregularly on the cob and are very deep , the cob being very small. Its 
great merit lies In the delicious sweetness, tenderness and fine flavor of the 
corn, which Is unsurpassed by any other variety. The corn matures rather 
late and remains green a long time and is very prrAific, 3 or 4 ears often 
being produced on one stalk. Qt. 40c . pt. 22c., 34 pt. 15c., pkt. 5c. 
PRICE OF THE FOLLOWING 8TANDARD VARIETIES. 
Prepaid by mail , quart 35 c., pint S0c„ half pint 12c ., packet 5c, 
CORY— The earliest variety. 
Perry’s Hybrid -A little later than Cory, but larger and of belter quality. 
Sweet and tender. Red cob. 
Crosby’s Early - Good size and fine quality. 
HICKOX IMPROVED— A little earlier than Stowcll’H Evergreen, very 
large 12-rowed cars; kernels large and deep and of the very bent quality. 
We consider this the best late variety for home use or for market. 
COLD COIN-The latest variety. Will remain sweet and tender longer 
than Evergreen. We have used It a week after a hard frost und after 
the stalks hud been cut, and found ittendcrand delicious. The kernels 
even when young aro golden yellow, very deep and 14 to 18 rows to the 
cob. This variety prolongs the sweet corn season at least a week after 
others are gone. 
Stowell’s Evergreen— The standard late corn. We have some fine pure 
seed. 
Black Mexican— A delicious corn, but objected to on account of the dark 
color of the kernels, but for fine quality It is unsurpassed. 
PARCHING, or POP CORN. 
Cultivate the same as for other corn. In growing It on a large scale we 
plant in hills 3 feet apart and 4 plants in a hill. It is a profitable crop. 
White Rice Pop Corn— This Is the very best variety. The ears are 0 to 7 
inches long and 4 inches In circumference. Yields well, is sure to pop 
and produces a large and beautifully white mass of the richest and 
highest flavored pop corn. Qt. 40c , pi. 22c., 34 pt* 12c., pkt, 5c.
