Early Fortune Cucumber 
Imp. White Spine — Earliest and best known of all the Spine types; 
short, square-ended, rather three-cornered, very prolific and splendid 
for slicing or pickling; a medium dark green, 7 x 23^ inches. 58 days. 
Davis Perfect — Extra long, dark green White Spine, good slicing and 
market cucumber. Matures a little earlier than the Early Fortune, 
11x234 inches. Retains its color and qualities long after being picked. 
Improved Long Green — A long and slender Cucumber, tapering 
somewhat toward the ends. It is slightly warted, being one of the 
Black Spine types and the flesh is white and very firm. One of the 
finest all purpose Cucumbers being equally good for table use and for 
pickling. Size 12 x 234 inches. 58 days. 
Boston Pickling — Straight and uniform, a very bright green and of 
excellent quality. Makes good pickles, 634 x 234 inches. 58 days. 
Snow’s Perfected Pickling — The most symmetrical, most productive 
and best formed pickling Cucumber. The fruits are early, small, 
square-ended and have very few spines. Size 534 by 234 inches. 56 days. 
China Long — A distinct novelty. They sometimes attain a length of 
20 inches and remain only 2 inches thick. The skin is dark green and 
smooth being nearly spineless and the flesh is firm and crisp and of 
high quality. 
West India Gherkin — Very small oval shaped fruit covered with 
numerous small prickly spines. It is a deep green color and is used 
almost exclusively for pickles. About 2 inches long and 134 inches thick. 
Snake or Serpent — Not an edible fruit but valuable as a curiosity. As 
the name suggests it is long and narrow and coils and twists about like 
a serpent. 
Crystal Apple — A perfectly round creamy-white Cucumber, growing 
about the size of a lemon. It is an abundant cropper and is very crisp, 
tender and mild in flavor. This has been used for years in Australia 
and should prove to be very popular in this country. (See Page 5). 
Straight Eight — An outstanding breeding ac¬ 
complishment which was awarded an All American 
Gold Medal for 1935. It produces symmetrical, 
almost cylindrical fruits well-rounded at both 
ends. It is regularly 8 inches in length and about 
2 inches in diameter and is a deep green in color.

Longfellow — A new hot-house cucumber which 
succeeds equally well in the garden. The fruits 
measure about 12 by 234 inches and are very 
symmetrical throughout. Their desirable dark- 
green, glossy appearance lasts well and the fruit

no Cucumber is as large, as attractive or as tho¬ 
roughly satisfactory as this, the best of the 
straight pack types. 74 days.
