The Davis Perfect Cucumber 



Plant the Davis Perfect, and you will raise in the open ground, 

 cucumbers that will sell in any market at same price 

 as the high priced hot house forcing cucumbers 



The Davie Perfect has become the most popular cucumber 

 both for forciug under glass aud growing outside, for the 

 following reasons : 



First. It has an ideal shape, and the handsomest dark 

 green color of all cucumbers. 



Second. It is a type of the most perfect size; just what is 

 wanted either for the table or market. 



Third. Eating qualities surpass any other cucumber. 



Fourth. It is almost seedless one-third of its length from 

 the stem end, and the seeds when it is in slicing condition 

 are so small and tender that they are unnoticed. 



Fifth. It is enormously productive, in fact, beats anything 

 we have ever tried. 



Sixth. It does not change its dark, rich color when grown

outdoors; in fact, it resembles a hothouse cucumber so close 

 that dealers cannot tell the difference, and are willing to a 

 as much for it as the hothouse production. We believe tl 

 is the greatest cucumber ever introduced, and it is boundj 

 become popular everywhere when it is known. It will b< 

 big money maker for anyone engaged in growing cucumb< 

 in the open ground. It stands to reason a cucumber til 

 can be grown outdoors and resembles a hot house cucunilj 

 so closely that the trade will pay the same price they 

 paying for the hot house product is worth a great deal, ai 

 it is. The Davis Perfect has had the greatest sale a 

 cucumber novelty has ever had and every grower, whether] 

 home consumption or for market, to be abreast of the tirrJ 

 should plant this variety.
