8 to 9 inches long, 24%4 inches in diameter; holds 
its dark green color well after picking. Flesh is 
crisp, white and unusually delicious. Small seed 
cavity. 
Vines outstandingly vigorous, with large pro- 
tective leaves. Its resistance to Mosaic and Downy 
Mildew keeps the vines alive and productive long 
after most varieties have wilted. Suitable for 
market grower, greenhouse, as well as home 
garden use. May be used for both pickling and 
slicing. Pkt. 30 seeds, by measure, 25c;

against white cucumbers it will be overcome by 
this splendid creamy white variety. Long, slender 
cucumbers, often 12 inches long, with brittle 
flesh and small seed cavity. It is the most free 
from bitterness of any variety we have tried. It 
does best in quite rich soil. Unexcelled for slicing 
and ideal for bread and butter pickles. Because 
of its tenderness half grown cucumbers can be 
used without peeling. Our introduction. Pkt. 15c; 
1% oz. 40c; oz. 75c; %4 Ib. $2.25. 
CUBIT —A prolific, white spined variety dis- 
tinguished by unusually uniform, dark green ex- 
terior color and long blunt ends, cylindrical 
shape, so much so that it has been compared to 
a rolling pin. The interior has smooth, crisp 
texture with small seed area and it is admirably 
adapted for slicing. It does not quickly ‘flag 
down,” but holds its fresh quality well, a very 
important factor for market growers. A valuable 
variety. Pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; 14 Ib. 90c; Ib. $2.50.
