CUCUMBER CHINA-LONG ” 
A most remarkable and handsome new long green out door cucumoer 
from China. The most fleshly and finest flavor of the long green type. The 
vines make a tremendous growth. They are unusually vigorous, bearing an 
enormous crop. The foliage is rich dark green and is quite resistant to 
diseases and insect attack. 
CUCUMBER, CHINA-LONG makes perfectly straight fruit. They 
average about 20 inches. They are thickest in the middle of fruit, where they 
average 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The attractive fruit taper gently toward 
the ends, holding their thickness well until they run off into a round stem 
and blossom end. 
The skin of the fruit is a beautiful rich dark green set with a number of 
the characteristic long green. We have many enthusiastic letters from customers who 
have proclaimed it the most beautiful and best of all long green cucumbers. A most 
remarkable feature of ORIENTAL’S CHINA-LONG is the fact that it retains the 
beautiful deep green color of the skin until it is fully ripe. 
CUCUMBER, CHINA-LONG is practically all flesh, containing but very few 
seeds. The thick flesh is a beautiful white. It is crisp, juicy, and of the most delicious 
flavor, and essentially a qualified cucumber which is absolutely unequaled for market 
or horns use. 
The fine large long fruits are extra fine for slicing, but if picked when of small 
size, they make tasty little pickles. The people in China store surplus products for

CULTURE — As soon as the weather become warm and settled in the spring, plant in well-prepared soil in hills 
four or five feet apart each way with eight or ten seeds in a hill;cover one-half inch deep with soil well firmed to 
prevent too rapid evaporation. When plants are well developed pull out all but four or five of the strongest. Thorough 
but shallow cultivation is essential. One ounce of seed will plant about eight hills.

The vines attain twice the length of common varieties. Young plants 
are bushy, but as soon as they are well established begin to throw out runners 円を 
and climb, so may be grown on fences, poles or trellises, thus saving much 
valuable space in small gardens. Fruits 9 inches in length by 2^4 inches ノ、ほ 
across when mature, of green color; flesh is thick and firm, never bitter , 大日き 
a superb variety for slicing. When young, makes fine pickles. Very prolific; R/J I 
fruits are raised well above the ground so seldom suffer from wet weather ni 
or insects. Vines are almost mildewproof and continue in bearing until late ノム、り 
in the season. This excellent climbing variety is noted for standing hot dry summers 
without serious harm and so is well adapted to Southern climate. It also does well 
north. If kept picked, the vines will bear freely all season and retains deep green 
color of the skin for a long time after picked. (Pkt. 10 c.) (Oz. 30 c.) (4 Ozs. $ 1 . 00 )
