Cumberland This new pickling variety 
Was produced by a cross 
between White Spine and Paris Pickling. 
It combines the slim, straight shapes, 
fine spines and crisp flesh of the Baris 
Pickling with the vigor and productive- 
ness of the White Spine. The fruit is 
covered with fine spines except at the 
stem end. It makes a very fine quality 
of pickles, being of best shape, and gooG 
deep green and crisp. The vines are 
healthy and productive. Pkt., 5e; %

Early Cyclone It is not only the earliest 
: cucumber in cultivation, 
being fully two weeks ahead of Whiie 
Spine, but it is of the desirable White 
Spine type, being shorter, thicker and 
holding better its deep green color than 
any other early Cucumber in cultivation 
It is very prolific, and grows its fruits in 
bunches of threes and fours, of uni- 
form size and shape. A single hill wili

Evergreen Extra Long White Spine 
This is a strain of White Spine Cu- 
cumber with longer fruit than the 
old type. The cucumbers grow 10 inches 
long, and are straight and handsome 
and of fine quality, and retain their 
green color for a long time. Matures a 
little later than the early strain, but 
the fruit is larger and handsomer. One 
of the best varieties. Oz., 10c; %4 Ib., 
25e; Ib., 90e. 
oe As now selected, this 
Davis Perfect popular new variety is 
well worthy of praise. The long, even 
fruits are of fine form, with an intensely 
dark rich green skin. With very few 
seeds, the solid white flesh is of superb 
quality for slicing. So handsome ana 
regular are the fruits that they bring 
an extra price on market, often being 
taken for ‘‘hot-house grown.” The vines 
are of strong growth and quite prolific.
