CUCUMBER GOLDEN HARVEST (52 days) 
First in Earliness—Rich Dark Green—Ideal for Market and Shipping 
Golden Harvest is the earliest and most profitable dark green cucumber in the world. It is 6 to 8 days earlier than 
Karly Fortune. Golden Harvest is an enormous producer and at all stages of its growth a model in shape, very handsome 
and attractive. 
In color Golden Harvest is an intensely deep green. This inviting color is retained during a much longer period of 
growth than any other variety, the fact is, that Golden Harvest will not turn its color until it is almost dead ripe. 
In shape Golden Harvest is so uniform and so much one like the other that in selecting fruits for our stock seed it 
is difficult to decide which is the best and most perfect. 
In size Golden Harvest is only slightly smaller than Early Fortune, to be exact, the size is eight inches long and two 
and a quarter inches through. Of ample size to satisfy anybody. Being ready at a time when other varieties are just 
starting to bloom or in first stages of formation, it sells at fancy prices and will show the grower much better profit than 
the longest and fanciest varieties that ripen late and are brought to the market when everybody has cucumbers for sale. 
By planting Golden Harvest you will have the market all by yourself, no competition to meet for some 6 to 8 days at least. 
Golden Harvest is of the highest quality of delicate fiavor, fine grained, solid compact flesh, exceedingly crisp and brittle, 
ideal for slicing. As a shipper Golden Harvest stands very high. Excepting length it has all the qualities desired—ex- 
treme earliness, splendid color and the quality of holding its crispness long after it has been picked off the vine. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 20c; Ib. $2.00, prepaid; 10 lbs. $18.00.

Cucumber 
Jumbo (65 days) 
A VIGOROUS DISEASE RESISTANT GROWER—IMMENSELY PRODUCTIVE 
By the introduction of this cucumber, we are placing on the market a variety of exceptional merit, and one which will meet with the 
heartiest reception by all market gardeners as well as private planters, 
JUMBO CUCUMBER differs from all other cucumbers in many respects. 
FIRST—It has very handsome, smooth, long and slim fruits. The skin is of a dark green color, nearly black, and with only few 
spines that are hardly noticeable. It is very symmetrical, 18 inches long, and never more than three inches in diameter, except when : 
fully ripe. It is faintly striped. The illustration gives a correct idea of its shape. 
Second—It is a very vigorous grower with vines twice as long and leaves twice as large which stand twice as high as of other Fe 
. varieties. 
THIRD—Jumbo Cucumber is enormously productive. The strong vines are heavy bearers and those growing Jumbo Cucumbers will 
certainly be elated, when looking over their patch of beautiful long slim fruits. 
FOURTH—Jumbo Cucumber is the finest eating cucumber on earth. It has few seeds and the seeds are only half the size of other 
slicing varieties. The flesh is so tender and brittle that a slice of this cucumber taken on the end of a fork will break in two with only 4 
slight jerk. We are certainly fortunate and glad to be able to offer a cucumber so extraordinarily good, and assure you that you never had 
as fine a enenmber as onr Jumbo tn your garden, Recanse the fruit of Jumbo is long and slim even in the first stages of development it 
is not suitable as a pickling cucumber. Pkt. 10c; oz. 80c; 1b. $10.00.
