30 Burpee Hybrid Cucumber 
. 
60 days. High resistance to bacterial wilt, mosaic, and downy mildew are the out- 
standing attributes of this new hybrid white spine, slicing type cucumber. Vines are 
extremely vigorous, long lived and bear an abundance of well formed green fruits of 
handsome appearance, 8 in. long, 234 in. wide, square at both ends with medium 3 
seed cavity and crisp, white flesh of excellent quality. In 
our trials, the Burpee Hybrid Cucumber produced 
a higher total yield and a larger percentage of 
fancy fruits than open pollinated vari- 
eties grown right alongside because 
the vines remained green and 
healthy, and continued to 
produce after the 
others had ceased.

121 Fordhook Hybrid Tomato 
60 days. A new early, ever- 
bearing, wilt resistant hy- 
brid tomato noted for its 
uniformly shaped, smooth 
fruits, and the very heavy 
yield of the vigorous vines 
which begin to bear early 
and continue to produce 
profusely throughout the 
entire growing season. At 
Fordhook, it outyielded 
all other varieties for the 
year. Under general field condi- 
tions, the fruits are of medium 
size, averaging 5 ozs. in weight 
and larger when staked; oblate to 
globular in shape, an even scarlet-red 
in color, and mildly acid sweet in 
flavor. Plants are strong growing, 
spreading, semi-upright, with dense 
foliage which affords protection from 
sun scald. Hand pollinated seed:
