DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER 
Early Fortune. This belongs to the white spine 
type, and is the finest yet produced for general 
use. It is early, productive and blight-resisting; 
remarkably uniform fruits about 9 inches long by 
254 inches in diameter, holding their fine dark 
green color long after picking; flesh firm, crisp, 
and few seeds. We believe the high percentage 
of perfect fruits is due to the vigor and blight- 
resisting qualities of this strain. Our market 
gardeners shipping to New York and Brooklyn 
markets have found it to be their most profitable 
sort. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 25c.; per 54- 
lb., 80c.; per lb., $2.75.

fault with the original strain, which was inclined

eral years’ selection. Price per pkt., 10c.; per
