252 Maule's Early White Spine 



This cucumber cannot be praised too highly. 

 It is nothing more nor less than an extra flue 

 type of wlaat is unquestionably the best and 

 most widely grown variety in America. It is 

 unsurpassed as a table and market sort, and is 

 also used for pickling. No other kind exceeds 

 it in productiveness, and it is equally good lor 

 forcing under glass or growth in the open air.

257 Maule's Improved Long Green 



This flue cucumber grows from 12 to 16 inches or more in length, and is of superior quality. 

 The young fruits are very largely used for pickling, and it is a standard sort for that purpose. 

 Full sized cucumbers are in high favor for making the so-called sweet pickles. Vines are 

 strong growers, and the fruit is always produced in great abundance, making it one of the 

 most productive varieties in cultivation. I have an improved and very excellent strain, 

 which has for many years been decidedly popular with thousands of 7ny customers.
