The Perfect Idesil Dark Green Cucumber 
In our estimation this is the best cucumber grown. It 
can be aptly described as the perfect cucumber. The 
fruits are a glossy dark green. It is equally good as a 
pickle cucumber or for slicing for table use. The flesh 
is solid, tender and of excellent quality at all stages of 
growth. It is very prolific, bearing fruits of even size 
all through the season. Postpaid, pkt. 10 c; ox. 15c;

after being gathered. The fruit is from 8 to 9

color when grown outdoors. Postpaid, pkt. 5c;
