Introducing Straight-8 
Cucumber—All America Gold 
Medal Award For 1935 
Qfrfoirrkf ft We are Phased to of- 
Oiraigni-O f ei - th e new Straight-8 
Cucumber which we believe is an out¬ 
standing- breeding accomplishment. 
Straight-8 produces symmetrical, al¬ 
most cylindrical fruits, well rounded 
at both ends. When in best market 
condition this white spine variety 
typifies its name, running quite 
straight, regularly eight inches in 
length and from 1% to 2 inches in 
diameter. In this stage the color is 
deep green and usually free from ob¬ 
jectionable pale striping or tipping. 
The vines are vigorous and remark¬ 
ably productive. Although primarily 
bred for the shipping trade, its many 
fine qualities make it an ideal slicing 
variety for the home garden and local 
market. Due to the relatively re¬ 
stricted supply this season it is only 
available in packets. 
(Price per packet: 15c each, try it.)
