FARQUHAR'S 



PERFECTION 



FORCING. 



An excellent and much-improved strain of White 

 Spine. Remarkably smooth and perfect in out- 

 line; and longer than any of the old White 

 Spines. Our illustration is from a photograph 

 and shows well its splendid form. Color a 

 ■clear, rich green, bright and permanent. 

 Very robust and quick in growth, being 

 about ten days earlier than the old 

 strains; and in productiveness it ranks 

 first. Flesh thick, exceedingly crisp, 

 and of excellent flavor. One of 

 the best sorts for outdoor culture 

 and unequalled for forcing ia 

 frames or hothouses. Wc 

 offer carefully selected seed 

 of our own growing.

N Cultivation. 



Messrs. Bailey & Stanley, Leominster, Mass., 

 April 5, 1904, write: 

 "Having grown ^ Farquhar's Perfection' in our houses 

 and found in them all that could be desired, vie -would 

 cheerfully recommend them to those who are looking for some- 

 thing that will produce large, smooth, and perfect fruit. The 

 average number of cucumbers per bushel was seventy-five for 

 Fancy and No. 1, and the most noticeable feature was the exceed- 

 inzh' small number of irregular shaped fruit and stubs. We art 

 growing them aiain this season."
