Q We are Pleased to offer 
Oiial^flT-O new Straight-8 Cu¬ 
cumber 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. So good that it won the 
All American Gold Medal Award for 
1935. Seed supply is limited.

From Lahoma, Okla. I wish to say that 
your seeds are 
simply great, all of them, your Cucumber 
can't be beat. 
From Rifle, Colo. Your Superfecto takes 
first place in my 
planting. Have tried out a lot of them. 
From Hamden, Conn. I am especially 
interested in 
your Select Strain of Bonny Best for green¬ 
house. This strain of Super Select Bonny 
Best was the most productive strain I have 
tried so far.
