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 germi¬ 
nate 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: i /2 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; *4 lb., 30c; 
1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., 75c per lb. 
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 fruits in bunches, a regular mass of blooms and 
pickles when gathered daily. 
CLARK’S SPECIAL. 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 its ability to hold its color. 
COLORADO CUCUMBER. (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 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 quality as good for pickles as for slicing. Very re¬ 
sistant to disease. One of the best sorts. 
EARLY WHITE SPINE. A good crisp one, early to ma¬ 
ture. A general favorite as an early variety, widely planted for 
pickling factories, etc. 
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. 
LONDON LONG 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. 
VAUGHAN or LONGFELLOW. 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 uni¬ 
form in shape and size, thinner, and more prolific. It is the ideal 
American forcing variety, as well as an outdoor sort. Our cus¬ 
tomers 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.”
