THE CUMBERLAND CUCUMBER. 
23 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., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 1b., 40 cts.; 1b., $1.25.

—This cucumber cannot be praised too highly. 
It is nothing more nor less than an extra fine} 
type of what is unquestionably the best and 
Hmost widely grown variety in America. It is 
junsurpassed 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 
forcing under glass or growth in the open air.
