Early Fortune. Early Fortune is a fine long distance shipping cucumber. Unsurpassed 
as a pickle variety. It is an ideal slicer. Retains its dark green color longer than any 
other strain of White Spine. The ends taper and the skin is smooth. The vines make 
a strong and vigorous growth, producing abundant crops of cucumbers, which are 
slightly longer than Arlington White Spine, more cylindrical in shape and have a 
very dark green skin. The flesh is thick, seed cavity relatively small and the quality 
is excellent. 66 days. 
Longfellow. A magnificent, extra long Cucumber. Many consider it the finest of 
the large slicing varieties. Its intense dark green color, length, uniform and bal- 
anced shapes makes it one of the leading and most satisfactory sorts, both for out- 
of-doors or planting under glass. The fruits grow 12 to 16 inches long, almost spine- 
less with small seed cavity. 60 days. 
Straight Eight. Straight symmetrical fruits 8 inches in length and about 2 inches in 
diameter. The long, dark green fruits are well rounded at the ends and show no 
objectionable striping at the tips. A heavy cropper and ideal shipper. 
Black Diamond. The greenest and earliest of the Long White Spine Varieties. Hardy, 
large fruited, excellent shape, and is uniform from end to end. Of extended or long 
drawn out period of picking and of very favorable reputation among Market Gardeners. 
Always to be picked out in a competitive trial as one of the best. Used most ex- 
tensively in Florida to ship North. 65 days. 
Improved Long Green. The standard cucumber for either slicing or pickling, the Long 
Green enjoys about twice the wide use of any other. It is extremely prolific, medium 
late and for hardiness and disease resistance is among the best varieties. The ends 
taper somewhat and it is slightly warted. For general use for all purposes there is no 
superior to Long Green. The small pickles are well shaped, while in the slicing stage 
the fruits are very attractive. 72 days. 
Davis Perfect. For years controlled by the originator, who states that he experienced 
several years in trying to get an improved strain of Cucumber for forcing under 
glass and outside culture. They grow long and slim, sometimes measure 12 inches in 
length; color is a rich, dark, glossy green, which they hold until nearly ripe. Very 
tender; brittle and fine flavor. 68 days. 
Evergreen White Spine. Beautiful in shape and color. Fruit is long and cylindrical, 
dark green; flesh is white, crisp and tender and of the finest quality. 66 days. 
Japanese Climbing. Vines are of healthy, vigorous growth, with rich dark green foliage, 
_and throws out strong, grasping tendrils, which enable it to climb trellis, wire net- 
ting, brush or any other suitable support. Of large size, cylindrical shape; flesh pure 

white; skin dark green. 75 days. 
Boston Pickling Cucumber. This pickling cucumber is one 
of the old standards that has been in use for many years 
and is being used by many of the factories. The fruit can 
be used for any kind of pickles from the Gherkins to the 
Dill. For home use this is the favorite on account of its 
being so prolific. 60 days. 
Early Cluster. The vines are hardy and very vigorous, 
bearing iruits in clusters of two and three. The fruits 
are short, thick, bright green, shading lighter at blos- 
som end, crisp and tender. This sort is extensively used 
as a pickling cucumber as well as for slicing. 56 days. 
West India Gherkin. It is the smallest variety of Cu- 
cumber on the market and is in considerable demand for 
small pickles. The fruits will average from two to two 
and one-half inches in length and should be picked when 
young and tender. 50 days.
