Noo 42. Woodruff's Hybrid or Clark's Special 



No. 43. Stokes 

 Windermoor Wonder 



Uniform. Brilliant deep green. Length 10 inches 



Days to maturity, 68. This variety, which regularly is offered 

 under two names, is also sold under the name of Perfection. 

 It has been unusually successful in the Middle Atlantic 

 States and in Erie County, New York. Its long, 

 straight, attractive shape and very rich green 

 color make it an outstanding type. It will 

 usually hold its color for at least a week 

 after being gathered. Its extra length 

 is usually greatly in its favQr on 

 the markets. The stock we 

 offer will be found a very 

 uniform one.

Woodruff's Hybrid is 

 one of the most profit- 

 able Cucumbers now 

 grown. 



Davs to maturity, 70. Stokes Windermoor 

 Wonder is, without question, the most handsome 

 outdoor Cucumber that is being grown today. Our 

 Company had the honor of introducing Windermoor 

 Wonder in 1916, and in the 17 years that have followed 

 it has been offered under many different names, the most prom 

 inent being The Vaughan and Longfellow. Out of fairness to our 

 competitors, we want to state that at least the two above stocks 

 were probably secured from independent sources. The fruits of 

 Stokes Windermoor Wonder are very long and slender. Its color is 

 uniform from end to end, and the characteristic white stripes at the 



blossom end are an attractive emerald-green, which definitely adds to its brilliant appearance 

 on the market, where it invariably stands in a class of its own and brings the high money. 

 Growers must not expect as heavy yields of Stokes Windermoor Wonder as of the shorter 

 varieties. This factor, however, will be many times made up by the advanced sales price. 



Stokes Windermoor Wonder is the result of a cross made by Mr. Vernon Sheap, in Jackson 

 County, Michigan, between Davis Perfect and English Telegraph — the hybrid combining the 

 important features of each. Stokes Windermoor Wonder is a very shy-seeding variety, and 

 for this reason the price will never equal the White-Spine types. Should growing conditions 

 be abnormal, and either weather or soil unfavorable, crooked and ill-shaped fruits will result. 

 This is a disadvantage suffered by any extra-long variety. Stokes Windermoor Wonder 

 averages from 10 to 12 inches. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y 4 \b. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 

 5 lbs. or over, $1.40 per lb.
