Deltus. Originated by Adelbert Titus of 
Irondequoit, N. Y., and introduced by Hart & 
Vick. Probably the most attractive looking 
Cucumber in cultivation. A white spine type 
that grows about 10 inches long and 3 inches 
in diameter. Very uniform in shape and size. 
Smooth very dark green skin and firm white 
flesh that remains crisp and seedless for a very 
long time. The one fault with Deltus is that 
it is not a heavy bearer.

Cucumbers are divided into two classes. The 
“Black Spine’’ and the “White Spine.” The 
spines being the bristles showing on the fruit 
when it is young. The black spined kinds turn 
yellow when ripe. The white spines turn white.

small sweet or sour pickles will want to grow 
a great patch of this new Cucumber. Like-
