Jumbo. Jumbo Cucumber differs from all other 
cucumbers in many respects. 
FIRST—It has very handsome, smooth, long 
and slim fruits. The skin is of a dark green 
color, nearly black, and with only few spines 
that are hardly noticeable. It is very sym¬ 
metrical, 18 inches long, and never more than 
three inches in diameter, except when fully 
ripe. It is faintly striped. 
SECOND—It is a very vigorous grower with 
vines twice as long and leaves twice as large 
which stand twice as high as of other varieties. 
THIRD—Jumbo Cucumber is enormously 
productive. The strong vines are heavy 
bearers and those growing Jumbo Cucumbers 
will certainly be elated when looking over 
their patch of beautiful long slim fruits. Pkt.
