SWEET-WHITE (See Front Cover)— 
Our 1947 introduction. If you have a 
prejudice against white cucumbers it will 
be overcome by this splendid -creamy 
white cucumber. Long, slender cucum- 
bers, often 12 inches long, with brittle 
lesh and small seed cavity. It is the most 
free from bitterness of. any variety we 
ever tried. It does best in quite rich soil.

idea of this fine new cucumber. Unex- 
celled for slicing and ideal for bread and
