Davis Perfect. 
Davis Perfect. Unequaled for quality, 
shape, color, productiveness and shipping 
qualtties. Color, a dark, glossy green; 
shape, slim and symmetrical, with an 
average length of ten to twelve inches. 
They never grow pussy and hold their 
color until nearly ripe, when they turn 
white without a sign of a yellow streak 
on them. The quality is fine, as the 
seeds are soft when the cucumber is fit 
for table use, is very tender and brittle 
and of exceptionally good flavor. An- 
other point of merit is its splendid ship- 
ping qualities. It holds its color and 
brittleness long after being cut and on 
account of its being a strong grower it 
is able to resist the cucumber disease 
which works destruction among so many 
of the best forcing varieties. 
Improved Early White Spine. This is 
a popular variety. It is of medium size, 
light green, covered with white spines. 
A good kind for shipping. It is used by 
market gardeners for forcing as well as 
outdoor culture and is very productive.
