Cucumber Greenbac. 
GrpnhflC days. This wonderful new cucumber fairly shouts “1 
vrenDaC house grown.” Who wouldn’t like to grow these ha 
‘hot- 
grown.” Who wouldn't like to grow these hand¬ 
some, expensive looking fruits in their gardens or have them to offer 
to their fancy trade. The big surprise is in its freedom from bitterness; 
so many of the long dark-green varieties, especially some developed 
from imported forcing sorts, are inclined to be bitter. Given proper 
growing conditions Greenbac has the finest eating quality as well as 
appearance. Fruits about 2% inches in diameter near the blossom 
end, tapering gently to the rounded stem end. Length 12 inches. 
Flesh white and crisp, seeds form late. White spined.

improved Long VC7reen market or h^me p’-nr^Aners. its planting

Q We are pleased to offer 
OTraignT-O the 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.
