Early Fortune Cucumber Cucumbers
This is one of the finest slicers and a money maker. It is planted extensively throughout the South and Central states. My stock is very fine. Illustrated above is one of my fields of Early Fortune Cucumbers. I grow a large acreage of this variety and I am making you very close prices. You cannot get better stock of Early Fortune. The fruits are above 8 inches long as slicers, very dark green, uniform in shape and size, and of good quality. The vines are vigorous and produce a heavy crop.
