CUCUMBERS—Continued 
CHINA Grow this for FINE QUALITY. This remarkable 
* cucumber from the Orient 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 have shown great ability to grow and produce under adverse 
conditions. 
We consider this one of the best cucumbers for the home garden and 
many of our customers find that because of its fine quality it sells 
remarkably well at the roadside stand.

IRONDEQUOIT HOTHOUSE CUCUMBER 
The gardeners around Rochester have developed this famous hothouse 
cucumber that has proved the most profitable variety to raise under glass. 
The fruit is long, slender, deep green and nearly perfectly solid, with 
very few seeds, and in some fruit practically none at all. The vines are 
wonderfully vigorous and very prolific. 
The seed we offer was saved entirely from selected fruit grown under 
glass.

inches long and had five others 20 inches. The quality is best of all.”
