LEMON CUCUMBER 
THE HARTFORD CABBAGE 
Has many of the excellent qualities of the now famous Danish Ballhcad, 
introduced by ourselves to the American growers some years ago. The heads 
have the same solidity, but are larger and rounder, weighing from fifteen to 
twenty pounds. They are uniform in size and growth, and, the stem being shorter, 
grow closer to the ground. The flavor, when ready for the table, is mild and 
sweet, and for sauerkraut it is unsurpassed. It is an entirely distinct variety, 
differing from all others in growth and habit. When the large growers have 
given it a fair trial, and it is better known, it will be grown more extensively 
than any other variety for a late cabbage. 
Packet, io cents; % oz., 60 cents; oz., $1.00. 
The Lemon Cucumber has come to 
stay, its popularity increasing. With 
those who grew it last season it is a 
favorite. Many of the seedsmen of 
this country and Europe, who have 
learned of its good qualities through 
testing, will offer it for 1903. If you 
are fond of cucumbers, and want one 
that will almost melt in the mouth, 
try our new Lemon. 
Our illustration is from a photo¬ 
graph of the fruits, in comparison 
with an ordinary Cucumber. They 
are nearly round, with the yellow and 
green markings and smooth skin of 
the Lemon, while the flesh is exceed¬ 
ingly tender and crisp, with a sweet 
flavor surpassing all other Cucumbers. 
They have none of the bitter or acrid 
taste so generally found in Cucum¬ 
bers. For slicing they excel, and are 
well adapted for serving whole upon 
the table. For pickling, ripe or green, 
one of the best and most attractive, 
on account of their quaint form. They 
can also be used for Mangoes, the 
same as small Melons. They can be 
served green, but are at the best just 
as they are turning yellow. Size from 
two and a half to three inches in diam¬ 
eter, just right for one portion. We 
have been at work for some time on 
this specialty, in order to secure a uniformity in fruit and excellence in quality, 
until now we have attained the desired result. 
Packet, 10 cents. 
CUCUMBER THE HOWARD 
A handsome and very productive forcing variety, making fruit of the finest 
quality and shape, with exceedingly small seed cavity. It is also an extra fine 
open-ground variety, combining the good qualities of Improved Long Green 
with the fine shape and color of the Arlington White Spine ; in fact, it is a cross 
between these two excellent varieties, and is used largely for forcing by our 
Rochester market gardeners, on account of its carliness, size, and rich dark 
green color. The growth is strong, with a bright green 
healthy foliage. 
Per Packet, 15 cents; *4 oz., 30 cents ;' 
oz., 50 cents. 
CUCUMBER SATISFACTION 
This is a beauty. In color it is a rich dark green, extend¬ 
ing from tip to tip, and holding its color and quality for 
weeks after reaching its growth. It is very symmetrical 
in shape, of good size—from twelve to fourteen inches in 
length—solid, with very few seeds, making it an ideal 
slicer, and in its earlier stages of growth a perfect pickier. 
It is very robust in habit, the vines being wonderfully 
strong, and perfectly free from fungus diseases. 
Per Packet, 15 cents; ]/ 2 oz., 35 cents; 
oz., 60 cents. 
ACRES OF ASTERS 
We make a specialty of Aster Seed, growing acres of 
the finest sorts on our seed farms at Despatch, N. Y., and 
supplying many of the leading growers with the seed. See
