resistant, and makes an abundance 
of very deep green, slender cukes of 
even diameter. A real money maker.

398—65 days. Enormous Yielder either in Greenhouse or Outdoor Plantings. A favorite white: 
spined variety, 10 to 12 inches long, about 2 inches thick, tapering slightly to each end. The 
color, a glossy dark green, is held for a considerable time after picking.’ The flesh is firm, 
translucent and delicious. The seed cavity is small and the fruits are tender and juicy. The. 
plants are prolific, vigorous and blight-resistant. A fine slicing type, also valuable for 
shipping. Wonderful yielder. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 17 cts.; 4 Ib., 40 ets.; 4 Ib., 70 ets.; 1 Ib., 

395—55 days. ‘‘Sometimes known as Boston Pickling.’’ Of good quality and 
fit for slicing, but because of its small size, 5 by 2% inches, it is more popular — 
for pickling. It produces early and yields a large and continuous crop if — 
vines are kept plucked. The fruits are bright green, smooth, uniform and 
square-ended. Excellent for early pickles. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz. 12 cts.; 4

391 Long fellow “The Largest of All and One of the Best” 
72 days. Unquestionably the finest of the large white-spined varieties. It is long, 12 to 15 
inches, slender and round-ended. The fruit, dotted with white spines, is a uniform dark green. 
Because of its length and weight it takes the form of the soil beneath; so to secure perfectly 
straight specimens it is necessary to smooth out the ground under the growing fruit. The flesh 
is firm and of good quality with few seeds; excellent for slicing. This variety is equally suit- 
able for green-house forcing or field culture. The large, uniform size, handsome appearance and 
good quality make it a profitable type for the fancy trade. A good shipper. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0Z., 
20 cts.; '4 Ib. 55 cts.; 2 Ib., 95 cts.; Ib., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.25; 5 lbs., $7.50, postpaid.
