IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE. One of the most popu¬ 
lar varieties, both for marketing and table use. Vines vigorous, 
fruiting early and abundantly, fruit uniformly straight and hand¬ 
some, light green, with a few white spines, flesh crisp and of fine 
flavor. Largely grown for forcing and extensively grown in the 
South for shipping to the Northern markets early in the season.

LIVINGSTON’S EVERGREEN. This new variety is proving 
of great value. It is very hardy, and probably the most prolific 
of all varieties. In addition to being so wonderfully prolific, it 
is very early, and the cucumbers retain their beautiful green color 
longer than any other sort. It is one of the very best varieties 
for slicing, as it is very crisp and of good quality, and as it pro¬ 
duces fruits of medium size it is likely to be of much value for 
pickling purposes. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz.,20c. lb., 5oc. lb. 
NEW EVER-BEARING. The peculiar merit of this variety lies 
in the fact that the vines flower and produce fruit continuously un¬ 
til killed by frost. They exhibit at the same time cucumbers in 
every stage of growth, but invariably of perfect form, even when 
very small. The cucumbers are of a fine green color, and are de- 
sirablefor pickling. 5c. pkt., 10 c. oz., 20 c. 34 lb., 60c. lb. 
NICHOL'S MEDIUM GREEN. We consider this a most valu¬ 
able variety. As a pickle sort it will bo found unequaled, and for 
early forcing, or slicing, there is no better. It is exceedingly pio- 
ductive, of medium size, and always straight and smooth. 5c.

EXTRA EARLY GREEN PROLIFIC. Same as a good stock of 
Green Prolific, but from ten days to two weeks earlier. Those who 
grow exclusively for pickling will find in this something they ha e 
long desired. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. lb., 60c. lb. 
LONG GREEN. Long fruit of excellent quality. Dark gieen, 
firm and crisp. 5c. pkt., 10 c. oz., 20 c. 34 55c. . . ■ 
JAPANESE CLIMBING. While all cucumbers are running vines, 
yet this variety is much more creeping, or climbing, in its habit, 
so much so that it quickly climbs on poles or trellises in the same 
manner as the Pole Lima Bean. It is entirely distinct. The 
quality is splendid. It is well adapted for pickling, as well as fi 
slicing for salads. The great advantage of having a cucumber 
which can lie trained on a pole or a fence will be apparent to all.

The cut gives a good idea of the shape of this valuable variety. 
It will be noticed that it is inclined to taper off at the stem-end, 
and is generally a little pointed at the other end also. This is 
the most desirable shape for pickles. The cucumbers are straight 
long, even and slim, and until they reach their full size they are 
of a very dark green color, so dark that it might be almost called 
“ black ” The peculiar feature of this variety is the knobs or pro¬ 
tuberances, upon which the spines are placed, are prominent at all 
stages of growth, giving the cucumber a very attractive appcai- 
ance. This variety is the earliest and most prolific of all pickling cucttm- 
bers. and is certain to become a standard sort. While primarily a 
pickling variety, it is one of the very best for slicing, the cucumbers, 
when fully matured, being of good size and exceedingly tender and 
crisp. {See cut.) 10 c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 14 lb., $1 00 lb.
