VEGETABLE SEEDS—Continued 
Cucumbers 
Boston Pickling 
On no seed can you gain more by buying our 
way than you can on Cucumber and other vine 
plants. You gain almost ten times as much by buy¬ 
ing by the ounce and pound as by the old style 
package. There is a secret in keeping this seed so 
it will germinate and gain from 6 to 10 days in 
growing maturity, and a trial of our seed, side by 
side with any other seed will convince you. 
Prices on all Cucumbers: *4 oz * 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 
54 lb., 30c; 1 lb., #1.00. 
Arlington White Spine. One of the most profitable of 
the white spines. It is the leading variety in many 
eastern markets. 
Black Diamond. Same as the Kirby or Stays Green. 
It produces fruits about 8 inches in length, cylindrical, 
blunt ends and with an intense dark green color. Extremely productive and early, those being the chief qualities. 
Boston Pickling. A good one, general favorite in the eastern markets. One of our best sellers. 
Chicago Pickling. A big favorite at pickling works, grows the fruit in bunches, a regular mass of blooms and pickles when 
gathered daily. 
Clark’s Special. About 10 inches in length, white spine wilh tapering ends and it also has an exceptionally dark green color. 
It is somewhat later and not so prolific as the Black Diamond. For a shipping Cucumber it can hardly be surpassed because 
of its ability to hold its color. 
Colorado Cucumber. (New). The Colorado Cucumber averages 10 to 12 inches in length, 
is very slender and well-formed, and very dark green. It is very early and the best 
bearing of all slender Cucumbers. 
Davis Perfect. This is King of Cucumbers, largest, a heavy bearer of perfect salable 
fruit, becoming known everywhere and a general favorite. 
Early Fortune. Rich, dark green color, 7 to 8 inches long when left for slicing, good 
shipper and market sort, few seeds and equally as good for pickles as for slicing. Very 
resistant to disease. One of the best sorts. 
Early White Spine. A good crisp one, early to mature. A general favorite as an early 
variety, widely planted for pickling factories, etc. 
Pordhook Pamous. Strong grower and very productive, does not blight; makes good 
pickles ; grows from 12 to 15 inches, very tender and crisp, practically spineless. 
London Dong' Green. This is by far the best long green variety. 12 to 16 inches long, 
of a superior quality. The young fruit is best for pickling and when matured is fine 
for sweet pickles; a good slicer. 
Short Green. Similar to Long Green but matures earlier; shorter. Great favorite for 
picklers and market. 
Vaug*han or Long*fellow. This is as much in advance over the Davis Perfect variety as 
the “Davis’" was over the old extra Long White Spine sorts. Compared to the other 
Long White Spine varieties it is much darker in color, more uniform in shape and size, 
thinner, and more prolific. It is the ideal American forcing variety, as well as an 
outdoor sort. Our customers who grow it have greenhouse Cucumbers raised outdoors. 
J. C. Robinson of Waterloo, Nebraska, writes: “We have tried the Vaughan Cucumber 
out for 2 years in our trials. It certainly will displace most other kinds, in our opinion.”

greens per plant as the common Dandelions. Will supply itself after first planting.
