DAVIS' PERFECT CUCUMBER. A new variety, which will soon lake the place of the best strains of White Spine Cucumber. For a number of years this variety was con- trolled by the originator, who is one of the leading market gardeners in the West, and after whom the variety is named. Mr. Davis states that he experimented several years in trying to get an improved strain of Cu- cumber for forcing under glass and outside culture, and has finally fixed a 'â 'â Perfect" type, combining quality, shape, color and productiveness. The Cucumbers grow long and slim, sometimes measure 12 inches in length; the color is a rich, dark, glossy green, which they hold until nearly ripe, when they turn white without a sign of yellow. It is very tender, brittle and of fine flavor. Pkt., lOcts.; 20 cts.; ^ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $ EARLY BLACK BEAUTY EGG-PLANT. This beautiful Egg-Plant is a great improvement over the well-known and largely-grown Xew York Improved Large Purple. The plants are remarkably healthy in their growth, and produce an abundance of large fruits fully ten days earlier than the Xew York Improved. The skin is of a rich purplish-black color, making the fruit very attractive in appearance. It is also entirely spineless. The quality is all that could be desired. Pkt., 10 cts.; .} oz., 25 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; i lb., DREER'S ALL-HEART LETTUCE. A very superior variety of cabbage Lettuce, appropriately named, on account of the beautiful hard head it makes. It is adapted to both spring and summer use, as it withstands intense heat. Forms large heads, leaves closely set, with extremely solid heart, even before it is half grown. The color is a beautiful yellowish-green and the flavor is excel- lent, being rich and buttery. This is the very best Lettuce for the private garden. Pkt., 1
