Burpee's Fordhook White Spine Cucumber
The fruits are nearly cylindrical in form, slightly pointed at the ends, perfectly smooth, of deep rich coloring, marked with distinct white lines at the blossom end. Vines are vigorous in growth and enormously productive. Fruits retain their dark-green coloring and crisp freshness longer after picking than any other variety, excepting only “Fordhook Famous.” splendid as table cucumbers and for market, while they are equally desirable for commercial pickle, if picked when small. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $1.25; postpaid.
