Our List of Cucumbers Consists of the Leading Varieties for Florida and the South 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED “A & C”. (New.) (50 days.) We 
are offering for the first time a limited supply of this seed which 
was produced by us from seed secured from the originator, and 
on which we have made special selections in an endeavor to im¬ 
prove this splendid strain still further. The vigorous growing, 
disease resistant vines produce an abundance of uniform, ex¬ 
ceedingly dark green cucumbers, averaging 10 inches long. The 
fruits are of uniform diameter from stem to blossom end, are 
rather slim, averaging 1^4 to lYs inches in diameter, without any 
bulge in the center, and with practically no taper at the ends. 
This is one of the best bred and most popular strains of cucum¬ 
ber in existence. A very heavy yielder.
