Serpent or Snake Cucumber 
ENGLISH HYBRID WHITE SPINE is the result of a cross 
between English Telegraph and Evergreen White Spine, and 
combines the valuable characteristics of both. It inherits the 
fine appearance and shape of the English sort and the hardi¬ 
ness and yielding qualities of the White Spine. Besides its 
length, which is longer than the White Spine varieties, it is 
much darker in color. The seed cavity is very small, a factor 
distinctly in its favor as a slicing variety ; finest quality, firm 
and crisp. English Hybrid White Spine is the ideal variety to 
plant for general crop and will prove to be a real money maker 
for the grower who caters to the better class of trade, bring¬ 
ing a better price than the shorter and less attractive sorts,
