Stokes seeds - 1918 for large vegetable growers . ties of the long, dark green type where a Cucumber from 10 to 12 inches is desired. There weresome splendid specimens at the National Vegetable Show last September, at which place it created a most excel-lent impression. Windermoor Wonder is a cross between English Telegraph and Davis Perfect. The outstanding feature isits intense green color to the very tip. It has been known to yield at least fifty per cent higher than Davis Perfectunder the same area of glass, and because of its beautiful color, which it holds after its maturity, it will outsellany others of its class, as it holds its fresh appearance several days after picking. The seed-cavity is small, whichis in its favor as a slicing variety. It may be grown out-of-doors as well as under glass and, if climatic conditionsare anywhere near what they should be for its growth, stock of greenhouse quality can be grown, as its colorwill hold in the hottest sun where others will fail.

Evergreen White Spine Cucumber, grown at Windermoor (see next page) 16 Stores Seeds for Large Vegetablb Growers * * , —. -- 310 Evergreen White Spine Cucumber A MOST DESIRABLE SORT The White Spine variety of Cucumber has been a leader for many years, and with the special care in growing this variety forseed, we can recommend it above all stocks which we have been able to secure. The fruits average about 7 inches in length and areblunt at both ends, being especially well rounded at the stem end. The skin is a dark green, showing some white stripes, but this isbeing eliminated so far as possible by selection. The flesh is very tender, crisp and white, making an excellent slicing variety, for whichit is mostly used. Our strain is especially prolific for the variety, and nearly all the fruits are very uniform in shape, size and believe it superior to any stock of White Spine we have ever offered.
