WINDERMOOR WONDER 



65 days. We are once more able to offer this, the most attractive American 

 incumber under cultivation. It is equally valuable when grown under glass as 

 when grown under careful field cultivation. Our Company introduced it in 1917. It is a cross between the 

 English Telegraph and Davis Perfect. Its most striking feature is the rich, dark green color which extends 

 the full length of the fruit. In place of the usual white stripes at the stem end, this variety has the most 

 alluring bright green stripes which add to instead of detract from its sale value. Its yield is at least 50 

 per cent greater than Davis Perfect and its average length is from 10 to 12 inches. Its staying qualities 

 under the ven,' hottest midsummer sun are remarkable. The seed cavity is very small, which is in its 

 favor as a slicing variety, but this naturally makes the seed much more expensive. Windermoor \\'onder, 

 as is the case with all our Cucumber seed, has been chemicallv treated to make the vines more disease- 

 resistant. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., y^lh. $1.75, lb. $6.00, 5 lbs. $25.00, delivered.
