introduced, compared with other extra long white spine cucum- 
bers like Davis Perfect, Fordhook, Famous, ete. It is much 
darker in color, more uniform in size, thinner and more 
prolific. Don’t fail to try it.

tained a considerable time after picking. 9 to 10 inches in 
length.

Spine strains. Excellent for home gardens, and used widely 
for shipping. Vigorous and productive. Fruits weigh 1% to

cucumbers resembling lemons in both form and color and

India Gherkin, and not a true cucumber. Very prolific; fruits 
for pickles are produced in about 60 days. Fruits pale green;
