Isbell's Special Forcing Cucumber
Also known as Longfellow and Windermoor Wonder. We consider this to be the ideal cuke where an extra long slicing sort is desired, either for greenhouse or field culture. 12 to 16 inches long, very uniform in shape and size, with decidedly few seeds. “Special Forcing” is real dark green, and will hold this color until ripe. All growers that cater to a fancy trade want this variety, as it is a money maker, not only in the greenhouse, but also in the field. A very shy seeder, hence price will always be comparatively high. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; ¼ lb., 75c; lb., $2.50,prepaid.
