BURGESS’ MICHIGAN GROWN CUCUMBER 
DISEASE RESISTING 
One ounce of seed for 100 hills; I to 3 lbs. to the acre. 
All varieties of our true-bred pedigreed Cucumber seed are 
treated before shipping. Our seed treatment controls damping- 
off, also several serious leaf diseases carried on the seed, such 
as anthracnose, angular leaf spot and macrosporium leaf spot. 
Treating the seed is one more added service to our already high¬ 
bred superior stocks and will make your crops more dependable. 
Don’t run the risk of planting untreated cucumber seed when 
our Michigan grown treated seed costs no more.
