CONDON’S EARLY WONDER 
An extra early Cucumber of a most handsome shape that holds its deep green color better than any 
other White Spine type. Fruits grow very even in size and regular in form. Color is dark olive green 
with lighter spines running from blossom end. It is smooth, tender and crisp. Remains green on the 
vine and after picking it never turns yellow. It is very hardy, robust and free from disease. We 
have not seen a strain more uniform in size, color and evenness than Earliest of All. Market 
gardeners and large planters who value earliness, will find this one of the most profitable sorts in cul- 
tivation. Pkt. 20c; oz. 50c; 14 Ib. $1.15; 14 Ib, $2.00; 1b. $3.50, postpaid.
