Cucumber Greenbac (New) 
Prcankap 65 days. This wonderful new cucumber 
urccnUdL \ 1 ” ew / fairly shouts “hothouse grown.” Who 
wouldn’t like to grow these handsome, expensive looking fruits in 
their garden or have them to offer to their fancy trade. The big 
surprise is in its freedom from bitterness; so many of the long 
dark-green varieties, especially some developed from imported forc¬ 
ing sorts are inclined to be bitter. Given proper growing condi¬ 
tions Greenbac has the finest eating quality as well as appearance. 
Fruits about 2 3 A inches in diameter near the blossom end tapering 
gently to the rounded stem end. Length 12 inches. Flesh white 
and crisp, seeds form late. White spined.

smooth, free from warts, very few spines, there is no darker green 
sort, and none that retain their color longer. Few seeds, slow to 
form, and thick ivory white flesh, cylindrical in shape with ends 
rounded. Many hothouse growers say it is the best they have grown, 
and they plant Deltus exclusively. Length 10-12 inches as slicers, 
thickness 3 inches, white spine; brings top market prices.
