NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES

LEMON CUCUMBER 
A new and entirely distinct type of the Cucumber family. 
CUCUMBER 
THE HOWARD 
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 Cucumber. 
The fruits are nearly round, with the vellow and 
green markings and smooth skin of the Lemon, 
while the flesh is exceedingly tender and crisp, 
with a sweet flavor surpassing all other Cucum¬ 
bers. They have none of the bitter or acrid 
taste so generally found in Cucumbers. For 
slicing they excel, and are well adapted for 
serving whole upon the table. For pickling, 
ripe or green, one 01 the best and most attrac¬ 
tive, on account of their quaint form. Packet, 
10 cents. 
A handsome and very productive forcing 
variety, making fruit of the finest qual¬ 
ity 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; is used largely for forcing by our Roches¬ 
ter market gardeners, on account of its earliness, 
size, and rich dark green color. Per packet, 15 cts.; 
y oz., 30 cents ; oz., 50 cents. 
NEW SWEET CORN 
LEMON CUCUMBER 
PREMO 
Combines all the good qualities of the later sorts, 
much hardier, and may be planted some days 
earlier without danger of rotting. It is a vigorous 
grower; stalks about five feet high, bearing two 
well developed ears to a stalk. It is certainly an 
acquisition to the Corn family, and when better 
known will be exceedingly popular. Packet, 
15 cents; pint, 20 cents ; pint, 35 cents; quart, 
60 cents, postpaid. Express or freight not prepaid, 
4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.50; y 2 bu., $4.50; bu., $9.00. 
HARTFORD CABBAGE 
Has many of the excellent qualities of the now 
famous Danish Ballhead, introduced by ourselves 
to the American growers some years ago. The 
heads have the same solidity, but are larger and 
rounder. They are uniform in size and growth, 
and, the stein being shorter, grow closer to the 
ground. The flavor, when ready for the table, is 
mild and sweet, and for sauerkraut it is unsur¬ 
passed. When the large growers have given it a 
fair trial, it will be grown more extensively than 
any other variety for a late cabbage. Packet, 
10 cents ; l / 2 oz., 60 cents; oz., $1.00. 
CUCUMBER 
SATISFACTION 
This is a beauty. In color it is a rich dark 
green, extending from tip to tip and holding its 
color and quality for weeks after reaching its 
growth; 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, is cents; JX-oz., 
35 cents ; oz., 60 cents.
