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 

2 in 
long thin cukes often show some tendency to curl. (To get straight 
ones, grow them on a fence or trellis.) 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 yines are healthy and vigorous and resist disease so well 
that they maintain their luxuriant growth throughout the season right 
up Lill frost. This is one of the best cucumbers for the garden and our 
customers are tremendously enthusiastic in its praise.
