About Varieties. The white spined varieties retain their

yellow when mature. 
Harris' Perfection is one of the best of the white spines. 
Longfellow is a little longer but does not yield as well. Straight 
Eight is a very heavy yielder. Early Fortune is an inch or two 
shorter and is used largely for dill pickles as well as for market 
and shipping. China is of excellent quality. Harris' Double 
Yield , Chicago Pickling and Perfected Jersey Pickle are the 
best for pickles. 
HARRIS’ PERFECTION. The Best for Slicing. 
- It you want a long deep 
green cucumber try this kind. We regard Harris’ Perfection 
as the best cucumber in this class both for home use and 
market. The fruit is dark green with fine white rays at the 
blossom end, giving it a very attractive appearance. It is 
crisp, solid and of the finest quality and retains its color for a 
long time after being picked. 
We have grown this cucumber for many years and by 
careful selection have obtained a strain that is more uniform 
than any similar variety we know of. The fruit is large and 
will average over 12 inches in length when mature. 
The attractive appearance, deep green color and uniform¬ 
ity of size make these cucumbers sell for a premium on the 
market and roadside stands.
