FORTY-SEVEN YEARS OF ''GOLDEN RULE" SERVICE 
Early Fortune 
Cucumbers 
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 buying 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 con¬ 
vince you. 
Prices on all Cucumbers: oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; M lb., 30c; 1 lb., ^1.00; 5 lbs., 75c per lb. 
ARIiINGTON WHZTZS SFUri!. One of the most profitable 
of the white spines. It is the leading variety in many eastern 
markets. 
BXACK DIAMOITD. 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 pro¬ 
ductive and early, those being the chief qualities. 
BABIi'Y’ FORTUNB. Rich, dark green color, 7 to 8 inches 
long when left for slicing, good shipper and market sort, 
few seeds and quality as good for pickles as for slicing. 
Very resistant to disease. One of the best sorts. 
BARBY WHITB SFINB. A good crisp one, early to ma¬ 
ture. A general favorite as an early variety, widely planted 
for pickling factories, etc.

VIAN (Escarolle). ^ oz., 5c; 
1 oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 
80c. 
BOSTON FICKBING. A good one, general favorite in the 
eastern markets. One of our best sellers. 
CHICAGO FiCKIiING. A big favorite at pickling works, 
grows the fruits in bunches, a regular mass of blooms and 
pickles when gathered daily. 
CIiARK’S SFBCIAIi. About 10 inches in length, white 
spine with 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 it^ ability to hold its color. 
COLORADO CXJCUMBBR. (New.) The Colorado 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 FBRPBCT. This is King of Cucumbers, largest, a 
heavy bearer of perfect salable fruit, becoming known every¬ 
where and a general favorite. 
Dandelion 
Improved, large leaved; an imported variety of large size, 
makes several times as many greens per plant as the common 
Dandelions. Will supply itself after the first planting. oz., 
10c; 1 oz., 30c.

large, and productive, deep 
color and gives general satis¬ 
faction. Easy to grow. % oz., 
5c; % oz., 15c; 1 oz., 30c; Y* 
lb., $1.00. 
FORDHOOK FAMOUS. Strong grower and very produc¬ 
tive, does not blight; makes good pickles; grows from 12 
to 15 inches; very tender and crisp, practically spineless. 
BONDON BONG GRBBN. 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 GRBBN. Similar to Long Green but matures ear^ 
lier; shorter. Great favorite for picklers and market. 
VAUGHAN or BONGFBBBOW. This is as much an ad¬ 
vance 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 green¬ 
house Cucumbers raised outdoors. J. C. Robinson of Water¬ 
loo, Nebraska writes: “We have tried the Vaughan Cucum¬ 
ber out for 2 years in our trials. It certainly will displace 
most other kinds, in our opinion.”
