‘cucumber cannot be praised too highly. It is 
nothing more nor less than an extra fine type¥ 
Hof what is unquestionably the best and most 
widely grown variety in America. It is un-f 
surpassed 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. j 
I have a record of where a single hill of three 
vines produced over 500 cucumbers, during the} 
fseason. The fruit is from 5 to 7 inches long and 
#2 to 8 inches in diameter. Color, a beautiful 
light green. This illustration shows most ac-] 
curately the fine shape this cucumber attains.
