English Hybrid White Spine 
English Hybrid White Spine 
The Aristocrat of the Cucumber Family 
ENGLISH HYBRID WHITE SPINE is the result of a cross between English Telegraph and Ever- 
green White Spine, and combines the valuable characteristics of both. It inherits the fine appear- 
ance and shape of the English sort and the hardiness and yielding qualities of the White Spine. Be- 
sides its length, which is longer than Evergreen White Spine, it is much darker in color. The 
seed cavity is very small, a factor distinctly in its favor as a slicing variety ; finest quality, firm 
and crisp. English Hybrid White Spine is the ideal variety to plant for general crop and will 
prove to be a real money maker for the grower who eaters to the better class of trade, bringing 
a better price than the shorter and less attractive sorts. Pkt., 0c; 0z., 32c; % Ilb., $1.00;
