English Hybrid White Spine Cucumber 
The Aristocrat of the Cucumber Family 
English Hybrid White Spine 
LEMON. A real Cucumber, similar in size, shape and 
color to a lemon. It has a flavor that is sweeter and 
somewhat different than other Cucumbers. They are 
highly esteemed for pickling, either green or ripe, and 
for slicing just as the fruits are turning yellow. It is rust and 
drought resistant, and will produce a big crop of fruits almost 
regardless of weather and soil conditions. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;

Serpent or Snake Cucumber 
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 
tine 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 
for the grower who caters, to the better class of trade, bringing 
a better price than the shorter and less attractive sorts. Don’t 
fail to put part of your crop in to English Hybrid White Spine.
