MR. CASPAR GUNDEL, Atlantic Co., N. J. 
Writes on April 23, 1913, all my seeds are up fine and the plants 
are doing well. All my vegetables last season were very fine and 
I supplied the most critical tradein Atlantic City at good prices 
and I am in hopes to increase my crops this year. I enclose 
another order, in which you can include a catalogue for my 
neighbor who also wants to get some seed from you.

deep green color than any other early Cucumber in cul- 
tivation. It is very prolific and grows its fruit in bunches
