» Davis Perfect Cucumber 

Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise cucumbers in. the open ground that will 
equal! in flavor and resembie the high priced hot house forcing sorts 
The Davis Perfect has become the most popular cucumber 
both for forcing under glass and growing outside, for the 
following reasons ; 
First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest dark 
green color of all cucumbers. Ready to pull in 55 days. 
Second. It is a type of the most perfect size; just what is 
wanted either for the table or market. 
Third. Eating qualities surpass any other cucumber. 
Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from 
the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition 
are so small and tender that they are unnoticed. 

Fijth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything 
we have ever tried. 
Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown 
outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hothouse cucumber so closely 
that dealers cannot tell the difference, and are willing to pay 
as much for it as the hothouse production. We believe this 
is the greatest cucumber ever introduced, and it is bound to 
become popular everywhere when it is known. It will bea 
big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumbers 
in the open ground. The Davis Perfect has had the greatest 
sale any cucumber novelty has ever had and every grower, 
whether for home consumption or for market, to be abreast 
of the times, should plant this variety. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 45 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.
