CONDON'S "Sure Crop" CUCUMBERS 
362 Davis Perfect Select 
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 quite 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 cannot tell 
the outdoor fruits from the hot-house product." Packet. 8 cts.; ounce, 15 ct».|
