(Pkt., 5e) (0z., 10e) (% Ib., 25e) (ib., Sde) 
(5 Ibs., $3.70) prepaid 
® 66 days. We are pleased to offer 
Straight-8 the Straight-8 Cucumber which 
we believe is an outstanding breeding accom- 
plishment. Straight-8 produces symmetrical, 
almost eylindrical 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 striping or tipping. 
“he vines are vigorous and remarkably pro- 
fluctive. Although primarily bred for the ship- 
ping 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 
America’ Gold Medal Award for 1935.

(5 Ibs., $4.00) prepaid 
64 days. The Taxpayer can best 
Taxpayer be described as a heavy yield- 
ing, very dark green Early Fortune. It is bred 
from that variety; improvement being mostly 
in its attractive dark green color which is 
carried around the tip of the fruits, doitfg 
Straignt-3 Cucumber away with the objectionable light striping. 
We believe that eventually it will take the 
place of Early Fortune. Fruits dark green, tapers abruptly to the 
stem end and slightly to the blossom end. An excellent shipper, 
and one of the mildest flavored of the dark green sorts. Length 
eight to nine inches. Thickness two and one-half inches. -White 
spined. 



The number of days indicated is the average time required fro 
planting of seed to developed fruits of the first slicing stage. We Maewe 
done this for the sake of uniformity in making comparison. The 
time should be reduced several days for small pickles and slightly 
increased for full grown fruits. Black spine varieties turn red or 
yellow when ripe and white spine varieties turn white when ripe,
