 BOLGIANO'S EARLY FORTUNE WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. 



In color Early Fortune is a rich attractive deep green. This inviting color it retains during a much longer period 

 of growth than any other variety; it is so regular in form, one so much like the other. Growers marvel at the purity 

 and trueuess of our stock — in fact in selecting our Stock Seed these Cucumbers are so perfect it is ahnost impossible 

 to say which is best.

 grained, the flesh compact, it is exceedingly crisp and brittle, making it an ideal slicing Cucumber.
