This Stock is put up and sold only in our Sealed Papers and Cartoons. We send out no Seed of this variety in bulk. The first and most important feature in growing cucumbers for market is to obtain the choicest seed stock for planting. Most of the crops grown are very much mixed, and of inferior quality. Buist's Perfection is regarded by growers as the finest and purest stock known. It is not only the very earliest, but it produces cucumbers of the finest form and most salable size for shipping purposes. It was introduced by us three years since, and is already being grown by the most extensive cucumber cultivators in this country. Our crop the past season, grown especially for seed, was over 150 acres.
