THE CUMBERLAND CUCUMBER, 
The Cumberland Cucumber. 
The Cumberland was originated by Mr. Coy, who writes me: ‘We consider it the best of our 
productions, and expect to see it at the head of the list. We honestly believe it is the best 
pickling cucumber ever produced.” I can with pleasure endorse everything Mr. Coy has to 
say about his new cucumber. It is a good variety; prolific, tender. crisp, and particularly 
handsome in appearance. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ly Ib., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25.

cucumber cannot be praised too highly. It is} 
nothing more nor less than an extra fine type} 
of what is unquestionably the best and most 
Hwidely grown variety in America. It is} 
unsurpassed as a table and market sort, and is} 
also used for pickling. No other kind exceeds} 
it in productiveness, and it is equally good for 
iforcing under glass or growth in the open air.
