Burgess’ Earlibest 
THE EARLIEST OF ALL SLICING CUCUMBERS AND HOLDS 
ITS DEEP COLOR BETTER THAN ANY OTHER SORT 
Burgess’ Earlibest is not only the first slicer ready for the 
market, but the quality is equal or better than that of most 
of the later sorts and it is a great yielder. It is the most 
profitable Cucumber for the early market. It is an extra early 
White Spine, handsome in shape and color, and holds its deep 
green color better than any other sort. Fruits grow very even 
in size, usually about seven inches in length, and regular in 
form. Color dark olive green from stem to blossom end; 
smooth, tender and crisp, it is very hardy, robust and free 
from disease. Ready for market in 55 to 58 days. Pkt., 10c;

Early Fortune 
Burgess’ Special Early 
Blight Resistant Strain 
Early Fortune 
Only two or three days later than Burgess’ Earlibest, and 
fruits measure about two inches longer. Proclaimed by many 
growers as the finest type of White Spine Cucumber. The color 
of the skin is rich dark green, the texture of the pure white flesh 
is firm and crisp and the seed cavity is very small. The plants 
grow vigorously and the fruits are set very freely all along the 
vines. One of its best features is its resistance to disease. In 
great demand by both home gardeners and market growers. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 20c: % lb., 55c; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.15; 5 lbs., $7.45; 
10 lbs., $14.00, postpaid. 
Davis’ Perfect (Perfected Strain) 
With the exception of the New English Hybrid White Spine, our strain of Davis’ Perfect is the most beautiful Cu¬ 
cumber grown. By using our Perfected Strain a crop can be produced outdoors which cannot be distinguished from 
greenhouse stock. Fruits 8 to 10 inches long; rich, dark green. It has very few seeds, and the few that are in it 
when in slicing condition are so very small and tender they are unnoticeable. It loads its vines so heavily that it 
seems impossible for them to mature the fruit. Under glass it is the most productive variety, and for outdoor grow¬ 
ing they yield even better than in the greenhouse. For quality it is unsurpassed. Ready for the market in 60 to 65 
days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb., 55c; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.15: 5 lbs., $7.45; 10 lbs., $14.00, postpaid. 
CHINA LONG—Fruits 2 Feet in Length 
This is a remarkable new long green cucumber from China with fruits from 20 inches to 2 feet in length, and 
only 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The skin is deep green and nearly smooth, the spines being few and small. There 
is nothing equal to China Long for crispness except possibly some of the hothouse varieties ; flesh solid and of the 
very best quality for slicing. The nearest seedless of any variety we have ever tried. Nearly as early as the 
shorter varieties; vines strong, vigorous, healthy and productive. A most desirable variety for the home garden, 
and is sure to be a popular market sort as soon as it becomes better known. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c; oz., 45c; 
% lb., $1.40; lb., $4.75, postpaid. 
White Wonder 
Color of White Wonder is beautiful 
pure white. Remarkably uniform in 
shape and size, averaging 8 inches long 
by 2% inches thick. Begins to bear early 
in the season and continues until fall. 
Flavor is pleasing and flesh firm and 
crisp. Fine sliced or in salads. Its 
smooth, clear surface makes the White 
Wonder an ideal pickle. Aside from the 
excellent quality of the fruits, White 
Wonder bears a great quantity of them. 
A packet of seed will furnish you cucum¬ 
bers in abundance. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
White Wonder % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00, postpaid.
