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. When grown on the ground, these long thin cues often 
show some tendency to curl. The skin is bright green and nearly smooth, 
the spines being few and small. The flesh is white, firm, extremely crisp, 
and of the very best quality. The vines are vigorous and have shown 
great ability to 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 remark¬ 
ably well at the roadside stands.

wonderfully vigorous and very prolific.
