Country Gentleman. (Edible in 110 days.). A delicious sweet 
corn. The ears are somewhat smaller and less showy than the 
coarser varieties, but for private family use, where quality 
is preferred to size, it is excelled only by the Golden Bantam. 
The cob is very small, giving great depth to the kernels. The 
great merit of country Gentleman is its fine quality. 
Golden Bantam. This golden colored Corn is the leading va¬ 
riety for early home garden planting, ears though small are 
numerous and of finest quality. Very sweet and tender. 
Golden Cross Bantam. Very uniform in habit of growth, size, 
and maturity. The ears measure 8 inches long and they are 
closely set with 14 rows of light yellow grains filled with 
delicious sweet pulp. Bears two ears per plant. 
Golden Giant. This is the giant among the yellow varieties 
with ears measuring 8 inches long. Matures its handsome ears 
about a week after Golden Bantam. Each cob is tightly set 
with 12 or 14 rows of sugary, creamy yellow kernels covered 
by a thin tender skin. 
Oregon Evergreen. This is without doubt the best sweet corn 
ever grown, and is a great favorite among market growers in 
this section. It is very productive, bearing long, well-filled 
ears, and is of a particularly fine flavor. Many varieties of 
sweet corn do not thrive as well in California as in the east, 
and it has sometimes been said that good sweet corn is not 
to be had here. This variety, however, seems particularly 
adapted to our local conditions, and produces ears of the very 
finest quality. 
CUCUMBER 
1 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
Sow outdoor varieties early in Spring, in hotbeds, and 
transplant to open ground when weather is suitable. For later 
crop, sow seed when weather becomes settled, in hills 4 to 6 
inches apart. They require a warm, rich soil, and should be 
watered liberally. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
Boston Pickling. An early pickling or slicing variety. Fruits 
weigh about iy 2 pounds, 6 inches long and 2% inches in diam¬ 
eter. 
Davis Perfect. A favorite with market gardeners and ship¬ 
pers. Long, slim and dark green, holding its color well to 
maturity. Fruits weigh about 2 pounds; are 10 inches long 
and 2% inches in diameter. 
Early Fortune. An excellent shipping variety producing very 
attractive white spined fruits of rich dark green color. The 
fruits average uniformly about 9 inches long, cylindrical or 
slightly tapered at ends. The seed cavity is small and the 
flesh thick, crisp and tender. Plants vigorous growing and 
productive. Recommended as one of the best shipping sorts 
yet introduced. 
Klondyke. A favorite variety among our market gardeners. 
It is an improved strain of the famous White Spine. When 
suitable to ship the fruits average about 2 inches in diameter 
and 7 inches long, very dark green, striped with light green 
about one-third the length from the blossom end. The flesh is 
waxy, white, crisp, and of excellent flavor. 
Lemon. This cucumber is without doubt the most popular 
variety for the home garden and when ripe makes a delicious 
sweet pickle. This is a very nice sub-acid variety and con¬ 
sidered superb as a salad. The fruit is small and in appearance 
similar to a lemon. Very prolific. 
Longfellow. A very desirable variety for the home garden 
and for shipping. Fruits weigh 2% pounds, are from 12 to 15 
inches long, dark green, uniform, straight and attractive. 
Staigreen. A favored early variety with some market gar¬ 
deners. Similar to Klondyke with a little less light green on 
the blossom end. A good shipper.
