★ GURNEY’S NEW LONGFELLOW 
See Colored Picture on Page 9 
This is truly a magnificent cucumber. The best of the large varieties. Its 
dark green color, perfect shape, and firm white flesh place it in a class by itself. 
This new cucumber grows to a length of 15 inches and retains its dark green 
'color until nearly ripe. Vines are vigorous and very prolific, bearing fruit over a 
longer period than any other variety. The home or market gardener cannot go 
wrong by planting this as his main crop for slicing or for large pickles.

★ NEW NATIONAL PICKLE 
See Colored Picture on Page 9 
This is a strictly tailor-made cucumber. The National Pickle Packers Asso¬

and the New National Pickle is the result—the answer to a pickle packers prayer. 
It is very early and very productive. A beautiful dark green color. The small 
pickles are rather short and thick while the larger sizes are smooth and cylindrical 
with rounded ends. The flesh is very thick with no hollow sides. For quantity and 
quality, plant the New National Pickle.

I had a good crop of Longfellow Cucumbers 
last year, and think they were the nicest I ever 
saw. They sold well on the market and
