CUCUMBERS—Continued 
Chins Cucumber —There is all the fine quality of Hothouse cues in this long slim fellow. 
CHINA Grow this for FINE QUALITY. This remarkable 
_! cucumber from China is of finer quality than any other 
variety we know. The fruit is very long, often reaching 20 inches in 
length and only 2 inches through. The skin is bright green and nearly 
smooth, the spines being few and small. The flesh is white, firm, ex¬ 
tremely crisp, and of the very best quality. The vines are vigorous 
and healthy. 
We consider this one of the best cucumbers for the home garden and 
many of our customers find it sells remarkably well at the roadside 
stand. Once your customers have tried it, they are sure to come 
back for more.

HARRIS' DOUBLE YIELD. ™e Most ProlificPickle. 
- We consider this the best 
pickle grown. It is noted for its ability to produce enormous quantities 
of pickles of the most desirable shape and color. Often producing 
twice as many as any other variety. 
The fruit is of medium length, very straight with blunt ends and of 
deep green color making either fine small pickles or “dills.” 
Double Yield is also the earliest cucumber with which we are acquainted. 
On this account and because of its uniform fine shape many gardeners 
find it desirable to plant for slicing cucumbers before other kinds have 
commenced to bear. After a picking or two of cucumbers, the vines 
will continue to bear and produce many pickles of the finest type.
