Earliest Black Diamond 
The Earliest of the White Spine Type. It ‘‘Stays Green.” 
50 days 
Maule’s Earliest Black Diamond is the cucumber all grow- 
ers are looking for. It is adapted to all sections and soils. 
We especially recommend it to all growers that grow cucum- 
bers either in small or large quantities, for the home or gar- 
den, market or long distance shipping. The fruit grows 7 to 8 
inches in length, cylindrical in shape, smooth and handsome. 
The color is a dark green from end to end, with little white 
rays at the blossom end. Maule’s Earliest Black Diamond 
retains this dark green color longer than any kind we know 
of. On this account it will always command the highest 
market price. The flesh is firm and crisp.
