Cl.MAiriU'f P pleased to offer the 
yJ 11 ai^ll r~0 straight-8 Cucumber which 
we believe is an outstand¬ 
ing breeding accomplishment. Straight-8 
produces symmetrical, almost 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 objectionable pale strip¬ 
ing or tipping. The vines are vigorous 
and. remarkably productive. Although pri¬ 
marily bred for the shipping trade, its 
many fine qualities make it an ideal slic¬ 
ing variety tor the home garden and local 
market. So good that it won the All 
American Gold Medal Award for 1935.
