The number of days indicated is the average time required from 
planting of seed to developed fruits of the first slicing stage. We have 
done this for the sake of uniformity in making comparison. The time 
should be reduced several days for small pickles and slightly increased 
for full grown fruits. Black spine varieties turn red or yellow when 
ripe and white spine varieties turn white when ripe. 
A 2, C 65 da ys* Also known 
as Ace. A very fine 
dark green slicing variety that 
is becoming quite popular with 
shippers. Its outstanding value 
is the very dark green color 
which it retains well on the 
market. Color is carried well 
around the blossom end of the 
fruits and the light color 
stripes are practically elimi¬ 
nated. Fruits vary in length, 
but average about 10 inches, 
straight and symmetrical. 
Recommended to experienced 
cucumber growers with the 
best of soil only, as under un¬ 
favorable conditions it some¬ 
times does not perform as well 
as the older standard shipping 
sorts. Similar to Colorado.

Seed. My father bought seed from you twenty-five years ago and was 
always well pleased. 
PROM HARLINGEN, TEXAS. I must say your seeds cannot be

I am now harvesting the Longfellow, looking fine.
