CHINESE CUCUMBER. Here’s a new find—a cu¬ 
cumber which can be grown right on through 
the summer. For some reason this cucumber 
is immune to ordinary cucumber diseases. Not 
only do the cucumbers often grow two feet 
long, but they’ll average around 15 inches in 
length. The “cukes” are mostly very slender and 
when it comes to flavor the new variety appears 
miles ahead of any other sort grown. Pkt., 25c.
