436 SANTEE. (New) Early—Big Yielder. 64 days. For many southern 
and coastal sections, Santee appears to be a winner. It is early, highly 
productive, tolerant to mildew, and has an attractive cylindrical blunt 
shape with good dark green color. Developed by Dr. W. C. Barnes 
in South Carolina and not yet widely tested in the North, Santee looks 
excellent for spring crop in the South. Not quite as mildew resistant 
as Palmetto but more handsome and prolific. 
We are completely sold out of this variety. 
435 PALMETTO. Mildew Resistant. 68 days. Palmetto is resistant to 
downy mildew and will produce good fall crops in the South and along 
the coast even where this disease is most serious. Also developed by 
Dr. Barnes, it has medium dark green fruit, slightly tapered toward 
the ends and about 8 in. long. Well liked by many growers.

PICKLING VARIETIES 
418 HARRIS’ DOUBLE YIELD. The Most Prolific Pickle. 
52 days. We consider this the best cucumber grown for pickles. It is 
noted for its ability to produce enormous quantities of pickles of the 
most desirable shape and color, often producing twice as many as any 
other variety. Black Spine. See also full description on page 5.

433 NATIONAL PICKLE. 53 days. We offer true stock of this very prolific 
pickling sort which was bred to meet the specifications of a number of 
the leading pickle packers for size, shape and color of the pickles. The 
fruit is slightly shorter and lighter colored than Harris’ Double Yield 
and is more or less warted over the entire surface. It is a very de- 
pendable producer and is widely grown for both small and dill pickles. 
Black Spine. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 75c; 14 Lb. $1.20; Lb. $2.00. 
“WHITE SPINE” and “BLACK SPINE” refer to the small prickly 
bristles on cucumbers. The slicers are nearly all white spine 
and hold their dark green color for a long time. The pickling 
types and China are black-spined and these get yellow quickly 
if allowed to mature past the market stage. 
442 WEST INDIA GHERKIN. 58 days. An entirely distinct type producing 
great quantities of very tiny, prickly fruit, which make excellent 
small pickles. The fruits are short, rounded in shape and covered with 
little sharp spines. Much smaller than the regular pickling types.. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. $1.00. 
421 HIGHMOOR. Scab Resistant Slicer. 65 days. In sections where scab 
deforms the fruit, Highmoor is a welcome addition to the list of slicing 
cucumbers. Developed by the Maine Experiment Station, it is a vigor- 
ous grower and produces good crops. The fruit are cylindrical with 
rounded ends, thick-meated, medium green and of fine quality. They 
average eight or nine inches in length and are practically immune to 
scab. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 144 Lb. 85c; % Lb. $1.35; Lb. $2.25. 
425 IRONDEQUOIT HOTHOUSE. This famous hothouse cucumber is the 
best to raise under glass. The fruit is long, slender, deep green and 
nearly perfectly solid, with very few seeds. The vines are large-growing, 
vigorous and prolific. Our seed is saved for us by a leading hothouse 
cucumber grower in Irondequoit. 
100 seeds, 75c; 250 seeds, $1.75; 500 seeds, $3.25; 1000 seeds, $5.50. 
Harris’ Double Yield 
‘Huge crops of pickles and fine for early slicers too. 
“Last year I planted about 3 cents worth of your Double Yield Pickle. 
Being a dry season, garden didn’t do very good. I was one of the few who 
had cucumbers. I picked them daily by the peck from only four hills.”’

448 YORKSTATE PICKLING (New). Mosaic Resistant Type. 
56 days. Another of the fine mosaic-resistant varieties 
developed by Dr. Munger at Cornell, Yorkstate fills the 
need for a pickling type that will produce real crops even 
where mosaic is most serious. The vines are large and 
vigorous, producing heavily over a long period. An ex- 
cellent yielder, it is similar to National Pickle in type of 
fruit, but ripens a little later and is slightly longer, more 
tapered and warted. It has proved an excellent type for 
some pickle-packers and we can highly recommend it. 
Pkt. 15¢; Oz: 35c; 14 Lb. 90c; % Lb. $1.35; Lb. $2.25. 
428 LEMON. 65 days. A real cucumber that grows about 
the size and color of a large lemon. The flesh is white 
and has a remarkable sweet flavor, quite different from 
other cucumbers and very delicious. 
Highly esteemed both for slicing and pickling, they 
are ripe when first starting to turn yellow, but may be 
used either green or ripe. Grown like other cucumbers.
