“ Davis Perfect Cucumber 
Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise cucumbers in the open ground that will

big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumbers 
in the open ground. The Davis Perfect has had the greatest 
Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from | sale any cucumber novelty has ever had and every grower,
