CUCUMBER: 
EWING'S IMPROVED 
WHITE SPINE. 
THE DAVIS PERFECT 
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. Lb.

"FORDHOOK FAMOUS' -"EXTRA 
LONG WHITE SPINE." 
This is the most beautiful and best long green Cucumber! 
Vines produce an enormous crop being of unusually vigorous 
growth, with large, thick, heavy leaves which withstand the attacks 
of insects. Perfectly smooth and very dark green, the handsome 
fruits measure twelve to eighteen inches long; they are always 
straight — never turn yellow, and are very solid. The flesh is a 
greenish white, firm, crisp, and of most delicious flavor. The 
flesh IS unusually thick and seed space extremely small;— it seems 
tobe "all flesh and no seeds!" Lb. $1.25; }i lb. 40c.; oz. 15c.; 
pkt. 5c. 
EWING'S IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
A superior strain. Is vigorous and productive, and forms fruits 
ready for use almost as soon as the shorter varieties. The mature 
fruit is about 12 inches long and dark green in color, uniform size, 
cnsp and tender. The small fruits are much used for pickles. The 
most widely grown sort of all. Lb. $1.25; 14 lb. 40c.; oz. 15c.;

EWING'S IMPROVED 
WHITE SPINE 
It is early, prolific 
and produces a con- 
tinuous crop of uni- 
formly large and 
symmetrical fruits of 
an intensely rich, deep 
green color, faintly 
marked with light 
yellowish shading to- 
ward the tip. It runs 
very close to type, 
bearing practically no 
misshapen fruit or 
culls. It is the ideal 
for slicing; the flesh is 
compact, fine grained, 
sparkling white and of 
most refreshing and delightful flavor. The vines are 
vigorous, quite healthy mildew-proof, maintaining 
their luxuriance and bearing abundantly from the 
earliest to the latest season. Lb. $1.25;'}^ lb. 40c. ; 
oz. 15c.; pkt. 5c. 
CUMBERLAND PICKLING 
The vines are hardy and fruit very freely. The young cucum- 
bers are thickly set with small spines, and possess the distinctly 
roughened surface so much desired for small pickles. The large 
fruits average nine to ten inches in length by two and a half inches 
in diameter, with full rounded ends, and are of good quality for 
slicing, ii lb. 40c. ; oz. 15c. ; pkt. 5c. 
EVERBEARING — Very early variety and extremely prolific. If 
the fruits are kept gathered, vines will continue in bearing 
throughout the season. The fruits, average from -1 to 5 inches 
in length by 1 inches in diameter. It is an excellent variety to 
plant for producing small pickles. lb. 40c. ; oz. 15c. ; pkt. 5c.
