China Cucumber—Grows up to 20 inches long and every inch is delicious, 
405 CHINA. Grow this for FINE QUALITY. This remarkable 

cucumber 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 cukes 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, extremely 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.

“Would like to add that we found your China cucumber the very best of 
many varieties for table use and the long period of heavy yield almost un- 
believable.” C. J. Morse, Akron, N. Y. May 17, 1946
