JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 



IMPROVED ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER— Extra Selected Stock 



A marked improvement over all other strains of White Spine, and, since its introduction a few 

 j'ears ago, it has proven a most pi'ofitable variety with all truckers who have grown it, bringing better 

 prices in the Philadelphia, Boston and New York markets than any other variety. The vine is very 

 hardy, and its earliness has been developed until the lirst fruit is ready for shipment a week or more in 

 advance of the best White Spine. The color is a clear, rich green, brilliant and permanent to an extra- 

 ordinary degree. Its shapely form is well shown in our photograph above. In productiveness, it ranks 

 first, the cucumbers being set in profusion, close to the hill, and of unequalled symmetry and uniformity. 

 While this is the best sort for market and shipping, there is no better varietj- for the home garden.
