CHINA Grow this for FINE QUALITY. This remarkable cucum- 
- ber 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, ex- 
tremely crisp, and of the very best quality. 
One of the best features of China is its ability to stand adverse con- 
ditions. The vines are healthy and vigorous and resist disease so well 
that they maintain their luxuriant growth throughout the season right 
up till frost. 
This is one of the best cucumbers for the home garden and our 
customers who have grown it are tremendously enthusiastic in its 
praise.

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.

early in the spring. The seed is sown in the spring or summer and the 
leaves will be ready to eat the following spring.
