EARLY FORTUNE CUCUMBER This new variety was originally discovered in a field of "Davis Perfect," and is now so thor- oughly established that large fields do not show any variation either in plant or fruit. The cu- cumbers are slightly longer than "Arlington White Spine," more cylindrical in shape, with very dark green skin and thick flesh, which is tender and crisp. A remarkable feature of this variety is the strong growth of the vines, which enables it to successfully withstand blight and bring the fruits to their full size and perfection. "Early Fortune" Cucumber is one of the best that has been introduced in years, and will soon take the place of many old-time strains of White Spine Cucumber.
