 the home garden, for local markets, and for distant shipping. The cylindrical 

 fruits grow 7 to 8 in. long, 2^ in. thick, and retain their dark green color for a 

 very long time after picking. Firm, white flesh.

 pickling as before. Early, heavy producer, and valuable for pickling in the small sizes or for 

 slicing when large. Fruits are straight, symmetrical, rather blunt at each end but not chunky.

When we gave the Maule name to this special strain of White Spine Cucumber, we did so 

 because we realized that perfection had been at last attained. Ever-increasing sales since we 

 introduced it are ample proof that we have not misjudged the exceptional qualities of this 

 splendid table and market Cucumber. Fruits are dark green, straight, 6 to 7 in. long, 23^ in.

269 G!ant Long China (75 days) 



Extra Long Cucumbers of the Finest Quality 



A remarkable Cucumber from China. It is of the finest quality. Fruits are extra long, often 

 growing 18 to 20 in. in length and only 2 to 3 in. in diameter. Skin is deep green, nearly smooth, 

 the spines being few and small. The solid white flesh is extremely crisp and of the finest flavor. 

 Has very few seeds. Even though the fruits do attain an unusual length, they are ready for 

 use nea»-ly as early as the shorter varieties. \'ines are strong, vigorous and very productive. We 

 especially recommend this fine quality Cucumber for the home gardener and suggest that 

 market growers selling direct to their customers give it a trial.

 J/2 in. deep. When plants are 6 in. tall, thin to 3 or 4 plants in a
