Indian Cucumber Cucumbers
A very unusual slicing-type of cucumber from India, having the most solid and crisp flesh we've ever seen. Interior is completely without cavaties and retains its solidness and crispness even to dead ripe. Wonderful for frying, having a flavor similar to egg plant; or use them sliced fresh when medium size, they taste like other cucumbers. Size averages very large. Extremely thin skin. Maturity is somewhat late, but they can be grown in any area by starting in plant bands and setting out after last frost danger. Pkt., (15 seeds, enough for 5 hills) 50c.
