CUCUMBER. 
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 in 
frames or hothouses. We 
offer carefully selected seed 
of our own growing.

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, we 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- 
ingly small number of irregular shaped fruit and stubs. We are 
growing them again thts season.”’
