438 Straight Eight—a4 Very Prolific Long White Spine 
Has become very popular among growers because of the large early yield of fine straight 
cucumbers. Straight Eight produces heavy crops at a time when the other kinds are only just 
beginning to bear. The vines continue to produce heavily throughout the season. 
When ready for market the cucumbers are 8 to 9 inches long, straight, smooth and blunt 
ended. The color is medium green with green rays at the blossom end. We can recommend Straight 
Eight for a money making crop. See prices on preceding page. 
418 Harris’ Double 
Yield 
The Best Kind for Pickles 
We are proud to say that our new 
improved strain of this famous variety 
is better than ever before. The yields 
are even greater and the perfect shape 
makes it ideal for small pickles. 
The cucumbers are very straight 
with blunt ends, smooth, cylindrical, 
and medium deep green in color. The 
fine shape is carried on all sizes of fruit. 
(See photo.) 
If the pickles are kept picked off, 
the vines produce astonishing crops. 
Young cucumbers are often produced 
in clusters of 3 or 4 like the fingers of Harris’ Double Yield Pickles 
your hand. 
This is also the earliest variety we know and many growers use it for early slicers; it matures 
to slicing size two weeks earlier than other kinds. See prices on preceding page.
