White Wonder 
English Hybrid White Spine 
Cucumber 
The Aristocrat of the Cucumber Family 
ENGLISH HYBRID WHITE SPINE is the result of a cross 
between English Telegraph and Evergreen White Spine, and 
combines the valuable characteristics of both. It inherits the 
fine appearance and shape of the English sort and the hardi¬ 
ness and yielding qualities of the White Spine. Besides its 
length, which is longer than the White Spine varieties, it is 
much darker in color. The seed cavity is very small, a factor 
distinctly in its favor as a slicing variety; finest quality, firm 
and crisp. English Hybrid White Spine is the ideal variety to 
plant for general crop and will prove to be a real money maker.

Davis' Perfect (Perfected Strain) 
By using our Perfected Strain a crop can be produced out¬ 
doors 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 growing they yield even better than in the green¬ 
house. For quality it is unsurpassed. Ready for the market in 
80 to 65 days. No. 4056. Pkt. 10c; 3 Pkts., 25c; % lb. 75c 
1 lb.. S2.50.

gins to bear early in the season and continues

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 cu¬ 
cumbers in abundance. No. 4053. Fkt. 10c; 3

Save Garden Space 
Grow Climbing Cucumbers 
This Cucumber is such a strong and vigorous grower that the vines attain 
twice the length of ordinary varieties. Vine climbs readily and may be grown on 
fences, poles, etc., thus saving much valuable space in small gardens. One hill will 
keep a good sized family supplied all summer. 
The vines are of healthy, vigorous growth, and cling so tightly that they are 
not prostrated by heavy storms of wind or rain. They begin to bear early and 
continue to produce fruit throughout the season. 
We were one of the first Seed Houses to list this seed, and have sold many 
thousands of packages to our customers’ complete satisfaction. This is just the 
cucumber for the home garden, where it can be trellised when space is limited. 
A light, warm soil is preferable, but they will succeed in almost any garden 
soil with good drainage. Full cultural directions come with each package of climb¬ 
ing cucumber.
