Weight 2J pounds 
Edible in 62 days 
Principle use: Shipping 
A encumber of excellent size 
and color for long distance 
shipping and gardeners’ use. 
It is a main crop variety, 
fairly prolific, and has tapering 
ends. The color is a deep green 
and the lighter stripes which 
appear at the blossom end of 
most white spine cucumbers as 
they reach the slicing stage are 
distinctive in this variety; in 
that, they appear of a yellow¬ 
ish-green shade rather than 
fading odt completely. 
AFRICAN HORN 
The African Horn is an un¬ 
usual novelty but of no partic¬ 
ular value, it has heavy, sharp 
spines which secrete a red fluid 
when broken, but there is no 
indication of red color within 
the fruit. The vines are vigor¬ 
ous; require a long growing 
period, and the leaves are verv 
small. It is more closely re¬ 
lated to the cucumber family.
