White Spine© 
The Cucumbers are almost cylindrical 
in shape, are 7 in. longand 2^2 in. thick, 
and have a beautiful deep green skin 
which is smooth and practically free 
from any ridges. It is a productive va¬ 
riety, suited for slicing as well as for pick¬ 
ling purposes. Though introduced years 
ago, it is still one of our biggest sellers and 
w r e know that there is no better variety for 
the home garden. The color holds as well 
when shipped to market as on the vine. 
The fruits also retain their color nicely 
when canned. Plant them this year. 
Whether you grow for market or home, 
this is the kind you want.
