Gentlemen: Last spring you sold Shuman Bros, of this place some cucumber (Arlington White Spine) seed that made 

 the finest crop of cucumbers I have ever seen grown in this vicinity. They were large, and the greenest cucumber 1 ever 

 saw. Can you supply me with one or two hundred pounds of the same seed. Quote me your price. ^-,„ -t,„ 



Respectfully yours, WM. C uiLKAiY.
