The First and Only Best Louj? White Cucumber yet Introduced. 



A very distinct and valuable new variety. 

 The Cucumbers are of gigantic size and al- 

 ways of a pu7'c waxen white, from the time 

 they are first set until matured. They grow 

 from twelve to sixteen inches long by from 

 two to three inches in t iameter, very uni- 

 form, straight and perfectly smooth. The 

 flesh is solid, pure white, with exceptionally 

 few seeds, and is exceedingly crisp of most 

 superior flavor. As a variety for slicing 

 they will prove very useful, while for exhibi- 

 tion no other cucumber will attract so much 

 attention. Many magnificent specimens 

 have been grown that weighed 6^4 lbs., —so 

 very solid and heavy are the fruits of the 

 triant White, while the pure waxen white 

 color is extremely attractive. The foliage is 

 large and luxuriant, the fruits are borne 

 near the hill. Per pkt. 7 cts., oz '.20 cts., Ya, lb.

 lished they begin to climb, and may be grown on fences, poles or trellises, vhus saving much val- 

 uable space in small gardens or in market gardens where land is dear. Tt can also be grown as 

 an ordinary Cucumber and will do as well as the common kind. The fruits are ten to twelve inches

This new variety is the admiration of all 

 gardeners. In habit of growth this variety is en- 

 tirely distinct from any other cucumber. Set- 

 ting the fruit very close around the stem and 

 maturing these early, the vine continues to run 

 and bear freely throughout the season. The 

 color is a beautiful pearly white; even the 

 young cucumbers are a very light color, nearly 

 as pure white as when ready for use. They are 

 tender, solid and crisp, and splendid quality, 

 either for slicing or pickling.
