MAULE'S EXTRA EARLY CUCUMBER. 



244 



Maule's Extra Early Cucumber 



First for the Table, Market and Pickling. 



^This widely popular cucumber is a cross between Early Russian and Green 

 rolific. It has become a general favorite. It has the earliiiess of one parent and 

 he high quality and remarkable prolificness of the other. It always grows uni- 

 ormly, and is seldom too large for pickling. The vines are of extra vigorous 

 ;rowth, with leaves of a dark green color, and produce an abundance of fruits. 



Its extreme earliness is, however, its greatest recommendation, making it inval- 

 lable. Its earliness and its very high quality make it a good variety for both 

 lome and market gardens, or for planting in June or July for late pickles. 

 Packet. 10 rents: ounce. 15 cents: J pound. 40 cents: pound, ^1.25.

 cumber; produces perfectly smooth, very 

 dark green, straight fruit, often measuring 

 12 to 17 inches long. They are always solid,

 per and fruit is full of flesh with but few 

 seeds. At Pan mure, where I had more than

 symmetrical.. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce,
