Q pleased to offer 
Oiraigill"0 the straight-8 Cucum- 
ber which we believe is 
an outstanding 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, run¬ 
ning quite stra’ght, regularly eight inches 
in length and from 1 % to 2 inches in di¬ 
ameter. In this stage the color is deep 
green and usually free from ob.iectionable 
pale striping or tipping. The vines are vig¬ 
orous and remarkably productive. Although 
primarily bred for the shipping trade, its 
many fine qualities make it an ideal slic¬ 
ing variety for the home garden and local 
market. So good that it won the “All 
America” Gold Medal Award for 1935.
