seed cavity and very thick, crisp, snow-white flesh of 
finest flavor, without a trace of bitterness. Matures early 
and continues in bearing over a long period, making it an

and the quality is so dependable we recommend our 
Superior Slicer 'both for home and market gardeners. Here 
is also a real moneymaker for large shippers. Pkt., 10c;

stem end. By using our Perfected strain a crop can be 
produced outdoors which cannot be distinguished from 
green house stock. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 45c; lb.,

Isbell's Hybrid White 
Spine Cucumber 
A Money Maker For the Market Grower

Spine, and is a distinct improvement over that popular 
sort. The vines are vigorous and healthy and bear over 
a long period. The Cucumbers average about 9 inches long 
and are of a slender, symmetrical shape. The handsome 
dark green color does not fade until the fruits are past 
edible condition. Hybrid White Spine is immensely popu¬ 
lar with larger growers and shippers on account of the 
splendid size, shape and color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb.,
