Origin not positively known but thought to be in 
India. Plant half inch deep. Thin to 3 or 4 plants 
per hill. Hach hill should be separated 4 feet. 1 oz. 
will plant 100 hilis. Plant four pounds to the 
acre. A good crop cannot be grown on thin soil. 
For early use plant when the Cherry is in bloom 
or when danger of frost is past. For pickles plant 
early in August to get 2 to 3 inch fruit in late 
September. 
Among many people the phrase white spine is not 
understood. The spines on the cucumber are of 
two kinds white and black. They have nothing 
to do with the outside color of the cucumber for 
they are the little prickly white or black projec: 
tions on the skin of the fruit. 
Slicing Varieties 
A. & C. (Colorado) —60 Days. Spines white. 
Vines healthy, robust and resistant to disease, 
producing cucumbers about 9 inches long, but 
not quite so large in diameter as Early Fortune. 
Arlington White Spine—65 Days. A cucumber 
that for years was the standard of perfection 
of White Spine types. Fruit long, slim and at- 
tractive, thicker than Early Fortune, same 
diameter all over, rather chunky in appearance. 
Black Diamond—60 Days. One of the greenest 
and earliest of the Long White Spine Varieties. 
Hardy, large fruited, excellent shape, uniform 
from end to end. Its extended or long drawn 
out period of picking has given it a favorable 
reputation among Market Gardeners. Used ex- 
tensively in Florida to ship North.
