(Winner All America 
Award of Merit 1935) 
This cucumber is des¬ 
tined to become one of 
the most popular varie¬ 
ties and we recommend it 
highly to the shipper and 
market or home gardener. 
One of its outstanding 
qualities is that it does 
not taper, but is prac¬ 
tically the same size from 
end to end. The color is 
dark green, making it 
specially attractive for 
display, and the flesh is 
crisp and tender. The 
fruit is long, 9 to 12 in., 
very straight and it is an 
exceptionally heavy 
yielder. Edible in 60 days.

E/verDearmg LUCUmDer tinct from all others on ac¬ 
count of its close, bushy growth and everbearing

until late in the season, whether the ripe cucumbers are 
picked off or not, differing in this respect from all other va¬ 
rieties of cucumbers in cultivation. One of the old reliable va¬ 
rieties growing 5 to 6 inches long. The skin is dark green, 
the meat firm and crisp.

cucumber family when properly pickled. It should 
be more extensively grown. Planted where it may climb on a 
trellis, one vine will cover a section of fence eight feet high and 
twelve feet wide, producing possibly a thousand or more of the 
delicious and oddly shaped gherkins. It should be planted to 
shade a window or back porch. Edible in 60 days. (Pkt. 6c)
