China Long 
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. Nc. 4027 Pkt. 10c; 3 Pkts., 25c; ox. 50c. 
Murvon’s Fancy Pickles

all the good points of lettuce, yet is much more attractive and 
certainly more highly flavored.
