DAVIS' PERFECT SELECT 
DAVIS' PERFECT 
Original strain. As now selected, the long: even fruits are 
of fine form, with an intensely dark, rich green skin. With 
very few seeds; the solid white flesh is of superb quality for 
slicing. So handsome and regular are the fruits that they 
bring an extra price on market, often being taken for "hot- 
house grown." The vines are of strong growth and quit© 
prolific. 
Mr. Davis, the originator, says: "This new variety beats 
all others in points of beauty, quality and productiveness. 
More fruit can be cut from it than from any other we ever 
tried in the greenhouse, while for outdoor growing they seem 
to yield even better than under glass, and even experts can- 
not tell the outdoor fruits from the hot-house product."
