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 convince you. 
ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE. One of the most profitable of the white 
spines. It is the leading variety in many eastern markets. %4 0oz., 5¢; 
1 0z., 20c; % lhb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50. 
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. %4 oz., 5c; 1 0z., 20c; %4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50. 
CHICAGO PICKLING. A big favorite at pickling works, grows the 
fruits in bunches, a regular mass of blooms and pickles when gath- 
ered daily. %4 oz., 5c; 1 0z., 20c; %4 lb., 50c; 1 Ib., $1.50. 
CLARK’S SPECIAL. About 10 inches in length, white spine with ta- 
pering 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. %4 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
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 Cucum- 
bers. %4 0z., 10c; 1 oz., 25c; 14 lb., 80c; 1 lb., $2.50. 
DAVIS PERFECT. This is King of Cucumbers, largest, a heavy bear- 
er of perfect salable fruit, becoming known everywhere and a general 
favorite. %4 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 l1b., $1.50. 
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 resistant to disease. One of 
the best sorts. %4 0oz., 5c; 1 0z., 20c; %4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50. 
EARLY WHITE SPINE. A good crisp one, early to mature. A gen- 
eral favorite as an early variety, widely planted for pickling facto- 
ries, etc. %4 oz., 5c; 1 0z., 20c; 1% lb., 50c; 1 1lb., $1.50. 
FORDHOOK FAMOUS. Strong grower and very productive, does not 
blight; makes good pickles; grows from 12 to 15 inches; very tender 
and “puede. practically spineless. %4 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; %4 Ilb., 50c; 1 
lb., $1.50. 
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. 
14 0Z., 10c; 1 0z., 25c; 14 lb., 80c; 1 I1b., $2.50. 
VAUGHAN or LONGFELLOW. This is as much an 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 varie- 
ties 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 Waterloo, Ne- 
braska, writes: ‘““We have tried the Vaughan Cucumber out for 2 
years in our trials. It certainly will displace most other kinds, in our 
opinion.” %4 oz., 10c; 1 0z., 25c; 14 lb., 70c; 1 1b., $2.00.

Large, round leaved, used during winter for lettuce, or cook like 
spinach, %4 oz., 10c.

Black iSecded' Simpson 
Lettuce 
We take great pains in having Lettuce Seed pure and all 
plants showing a difference are taken out. We believe that 
market gardeners will make no mistake in giving our seed 
a trial. It is fresh and ready to start like all of our 
“Guaranteed Seeds.” 
Prices on all varieties of Lettuce: 44 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; 
% Ib., 45c; 1 1b., $1.50. 
BIG BOSTON, SELECTED STOCK. With gardeners who 
ship north, many of whom plant our seeds exclusively, 
this is most popular; the best early, large heading sort, 
a valuable first early. Plants are vigorous, mature heads 
of bright green leaves which are very tender. 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON. This is not a Head Lettuce, 
but spreads a mass of curled leaves around over the 
ground. It is excellent and a favorite with many. 
EARLY PRIZEHEAD. This old standard variety is still 
the best of the large, thin leaved, clustering sorts for 
the home garden, but is not a good kind to ship a long 
distance as the leaves are so tender they are easily 
spoiled in handling. The leaves are very crimped, bright 
green tinged with brownish red, and are exceedingly 
tender, crisp and sweet, forming a large loose head. 
GRAND RAPIDS, ASHTABULA STRAIN. This strain of 
Lettuce has been famous in all the leading cities for its 
crisp appearance after its long shipments; rapid growth 
in greenhouse or hotbed makes it the highest sought 
after by all growers of Lettuce. Our strain is 99 per 
cent pure and is being used by leading greenhouse men. 
ICEBERG. Very solid, compact heads. Fine flavor and 
crisp, one of the best headed varieties. From what we 
have seen of this we believe there is none better. 
NEW YORK. Crisp and dark green. One of the earliest 
sorts, ranks better than Big Boston. This Lettuce is 
one of the very best to grow for home gardens. A new 
sort, but we are offering in a limited amount. 
SIMPSON EARLY CURLED. Does not head, but forms a 
compact mass of curly leaves of yellowish green color. 
It matures early, generally grown in cold frames and as 
an outside crop. 
MIXED LETTUCE SEED.
