CHINA Grow this for FINE QUALITY. This remarkable cu- 
* cumber 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 cucs 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 con- 
ditions.

many of our customers find that because of its fine quality, it sells 
remarkably well at the roadside stands as soon as it is known.

Make Full Use of Your Garden 
An astonishing amount of vegetables can be grown on small 
plots of ground by intercropping and planting succession crops. 
Quick growing vegetables such as radishes, leaf lettuce, spinach, 
green onions from sets or plants, etc., can be planted between 
peas, beans, tomatoes and corn, etc., which require wider rows. 
Plan to follow the early crops with vegetables for fall and winter 
use, such as head lettuce, spinach, kohl rabi, turnips and others.
