Vegetable Seeds 19 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
CUCUMBERS 
Continued 
Early Green Cluster. A short pale green variety. Fruit borne in clus¬ 
ters near the root; rather prickly ; containing few seeds. A productive sort, 
and very satisfactory for pickles. 
Early Russian. Earliest and hardiest small Cucumber in cultivation being 
only three to four inches long; thick and oval in shape, and produced in 
pairs. Solid, with few seeds. 
FOREIGN CUCUMBERS 
Japanese Climbing. A strong and vigorous grower; and while all Cucum¬ 
bers are running or creeping vines, this variety attains nearly twice the 
length of ordinary sorts, and can be grown on trellises, fences, or poles. 
The fruits, from ten to twelve inches in length, are of excellent quality either 
for slicing or pickling. Packet, 10 cents; oz., 20 cents ; lb., $2.00. 
Rollison’s Telegraph. The very best of all imported sorts ; twenty-six 
to thirty inches long. Packet, 25 cents. 
Noa’s Forcing. Most productive sort; thirty to thirty-six inches long. 
Packet, 25 cents. 
Vick’s Lemon Cucumber 
A Novelty of Merit Tried and True 
The Lemon Cucumber is nearly round, with yellow and green 
markings and smooth skin similar to the Lemon. The flesh 
is tender, crisp, and possesses a sweetness and flavor surpass¬ 
ing all other Cucumbers. The fruit is from two and a half to 
three inches in diameter, and very attractive in appearance. For 
pickling, either when green or ripe, they are unexcelled. They 
should be used for the table just as the fruits are turning yellow. 
For lack of space we are unable to say all the good things we 
should like in lauding our Lemon Cucumber, other than a guar¬ 
antee to our friends who have not tried it that if they will grow 
it this season, it will be assigned a prominent place in their 
list of favorites. Customers who do grow it, say they prefer 
it for quality and productiveness to any other variety. 
Packet, 10 cents; cfunce, 25 cents. 
ENDIVE 
Endive is an excellent autumn and winter salad. # Sow seed late in the spring 
or even as late as July, in shallow drills, fifteen inches apart, and when plants 
are strong, thin out to about a foot apart. To blanch, gather up the outer 
leaves over the center of the plant, and tic them together at their tips. Sow 
one ounce to 100 feet of drill. 
Packet, 5 cents; oz., 15 cents; lb., $1.25. 
MOSS Curled. Foliage very dense and beautifully fringed. 
Green Curled. The hardiest variety. Leaves dark green, finely cut; 
easily blanched to a fine white. 
White Curled. Foliage somewhat coarser than the Green Curled, moder¬ 
ately dense, pale green. 
Broad - Leaved Batavian. Leaves broad, thick, somewhat wrinkled.

I agree with you that we are 
more a/>t to hear 0/ failures 
than otherwise, so I resolved to 
write and tell you of our success 
with your seeds this year. IVe 
had a lot of your seed, nearly 
everything for the garden ; they 
were fine; it seemed that e7jery 
seed germinated, and the vari¬ 
eties were all good. We found 
them just as described in the 
catalogue. The /lower seed did 
equally as well with me.
