In color Early Fortune is a rich, attractive deep green. This invitingcolor it retains during a much longer period of growth than any other variety : 

 it is so regular in form, one so much like the other, growers marvel at the purity and trueness of our stock — in fact, in selecting our Stock Seed these 

 Cucumbers are so perfect it is almost impossible to say which is best. 



The quality is superb, flavor delicate, refreshing and delightful, entirely free from any bitterness; being fine-grained, the flesh compact, it is ex- 

 ceedingly crisp and brittle, making it an ideal slicing Cucumber. 



As a shipping Cucumber "Early Fortune" cannot be surpassed, as it holds up in color and quality longer and better than any other variety.

Early Fortune Best in Thirty Years' Trial 



On July 17, 1917, Mr. H. J. McCully, of Marion Co.. Fla., wrote: 

 "This season was my first experience with your Early Fortune Cucumber. 

 They are a good bearer and I consider did fine under the weather conditions. 

 They are of a uniformity in size and have the deepest green color of any Cu- 

 cumber I ever saw, with my 30 years of experience growing Cukes. They 

 are a little earlier than any Cucumber I have ever planted. Don't think anyone 

 would make a mistake by planting the Early Fortune Cucumber."
