Early Fortune Cucumber 
Imp. White Spine — Earliest and best known of all the Spine types; 
short, square-ended, rather three-cornered, very prolific and splendid 
for slicing or pickling; a medium dark green, 7 x 2H inches. 58 days. 
Davis Perfect — Extra long, dark green White Spine, good slicing and 
market cucumber. Matures a little earlier than the Early Fortune, 
11 x2\i inches. Retains its color and qualities long after being picked. 
Improved Long Green — A long and slender Cucumber, tapering 
somewhat toward the ends. It is slightly warted, being one of the 
Black Spine types and the flesh is white and very firm. One of the 
finest all purpose Cucumbers being equally good for table use and for 
pickling. Size 12 x 2inches. 58 days. 
Boston Pickling — Straight and uniform, a very bright green and of 
excellent quality. Makes good pickles, 6J4 x 2inches. 58 days. 
Snow's Perfected Pickling — The most symmetrical, most productive 
and best formed pickling Cucumber. The fruits are early, small, 
square-ended and have very few spines. Size 5H by 2H inches. 56 days. 
China Long — A distinct novelty. They sometimes attain a length of 
20 inches and remain only 2 inches thick. The skin is dark green and 
smooth being nearly spineless and the flesh is firm and crisp and of 
high quality. 
West India Gherkin — Very small oval shaped fruit covered with 
numerous small prickly spines. It is a deep green color and is used 
almost exclusively for pickles. About 2 inches long and 1H inches thick. 
Longfellow — A new hot-house Cucumber which succeeds equally well 
in the garden. The fruits measure about 12 by 2 3^ inches and are very 
symmetrical throughout. Their desirable dark-green, glossy appearance 
lasts well and the fruit stands shipping splendidly. For the home garden 
no Cucumber is as large, as attractive or as thoroughly satisfactory as 
this, the best of the straight pack types. 74 days.
