CUCUMBER 

 Straight-8 



This new introduction is a product of our Oakview 

 Seed Breeding Station. It received the 1935 All- 

 America Gold Medal Award for one of the most out- 

 standing vegetables of the year. 



Although primarily bred to meet the exacting 

 requirements of shippers, its many fine qualities make 

 it an ideal slicing variety for home gardens and local 

 markets. 



Straight-8 produces symmetrical fruits, almost 

 cylindrical, and well rounded at both ends. When it is 

 ready for use, it is regularly eight inches in length and 

 about one and one-half to two inches in diameter. 

 The color is rich, deep green, without objectionable 

 striping. 



You will be pleased with this new cucumber if you 

 give it a trial. (See pages 23 and 24.)

EGG PLANT 



Florida High Bush 



After several years of breeding work on this variety, 

 we now offer a strain which from our observations is 

 the most uniform in type of plant and bearing habit 

 that we have yet seen. The plants are tall and robust, 

 and the fruits are borne well up from the ground. The 

 fruits are medium in size, long oval in shape, and of 

 rich glossy black-purple color. If you like Egg Plant, 

 do not fail to try Florida High Bush (See page 25 

 for further description.)

TOMATO 



Supreme Gulf State Market 



The parent stock of this variety was introduced by 

 us in 1921 after several years of careful selection. 

 Although developed in response to a demand from 

 shippers for an early purple-fruited variety, it has 

 proved very satisfactory for home gardens. 



Supreme Gulf State Market is an exceptional 

 strain of the variety. The seed we offer was grown 

 on our own Stock Seed Farm near Detroit, under the 

 supervision of our tomato breeding specialists. 



The fruits are large, globular, of fine color, and are 

 purplish pink when ripe. (See page 43.)

Supreme Marglobe 



This valuable scarlet-fruited tomato was originated 

 about ten years ago by Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture. As a result of our work 

 on it, the strain we offer has been greatly improved 

 in size and uniformity. The seed we offer is grown, 

 controlled, and harvested at Oakview under direct 

 supervision of our tomato breeding specialists. 



The fruits are rich deep scarlet, color well around 

 the stem-end, and are uniformly globular. They run 

 high in the larger sizes and show but little cracking 

 around the stem-end. (See page 43.)
