DISCO CUCUMBERS 
Cucumbers have probably been in use for thou¬ 
sands of years, and are one of the first vegetables in 
known cultivation. White spine refers to the color 
of the spine and indicates a white color at maturity, 
while black spine indicates that the cucumber will 
be yellow when mature. 
239 EABLIEST OF AIiL (White Spine)—A dark 
green, prolific type, about 7% by 2% inches. A 
good variety for shipping. 58 days to maturity. 
240 EXTRA EARLY RUSSIAN (Black Spine)— 
The earliest and smallest cucumber we offer, meas¬ 
uring about 5 by 2% inches. Used mainly for 
pickling. The vines are hardy and productive. 50 
days to maturity. 
241 EARLY FORTUNE (White Spine)—Especially

green color very well, is productive, good for slic¬

able market cucumber because of its uniform

come increasingly popular for all market purposes 
and is a vigorous, high yielding variety. The

are light because of the thick flesh. Measure 12

small pickling variety, which may also be used for 
slicing; 56 days to maturity. 
250 NATIONAL PICKLING (Starr’s) (Black 
Spine)—A recent introduction of the early pick¬ 
ling types; it has met with general favor for the 
critical trade, for this particular type of pickle. It 
was developed for the National Pickle Packers’ 
Association and is a remarkably early, productive 
and uniform strain. The small pickles are rather 
short and thick, while the larger sizes are smooth 
and cylindrical, with well-rounded ends. The en¬ 
tire flesh of the fruits is uniformly thick thus 
preventing splitting in the center and hollow sides 
in the pickles. Measuring 7 inches by 3 inches. 
50 days to maturity. 
DISCO POP CORN DISCO EGG PLANT 
234 HYBRID JAPANESE HTJLLESSMINHYBEID 
260. We attribute the popularity of this variety 
and the steady increase in sales to the following: 
It is free of hulls after being popped. The fields 
are practically free from smut. There is no other 
variety to our knowledge which it won’t outyield 
A trial will convince you that this is the variety 
you have been looking for. 
233 JAPANESE WHITE HULLESS—A dwarf va¬ 
riety with thick, short ears, 3 to 4 inches long, 
popped kernels exceedingly tender, finest quality, 
free of hard centers and hulls. It is the best white 
variety, and has displaced White Rice. 
237 GOLDEN MAGIC (Yellow Pearl)—Similar to 
T. N. T., but superior because the kernels are 
deeper, the volume of popped corn to the pound 
is greater, and it is more tender and hulless than 
T. N. T.
