BURPEE’S HYBRID VEGETABLES 
. All created on Burpee’s Fordhook Farms 
Last year when we introduced Burpee Hy- 
brid Cucumber and Fordhook Hybrid Tomato, 
we had no way of telling how great the demand 
for them would be. Their value, however, was 
quickly recognized and to our surprise the early 
customers bought up the entire supply of seed 
long before the planting season started. We 
think we have enough seed of all three Hy- 
we advise that you order early. 
1132 Burpee Hybrid Tomato 
NEW FOR 1946 
70 days. Early-midseason hybrid particu- 
larly outstanding for the quality and rich 
flavor of its fruits. It isa great producer, yield- 
ing 20% more than Marglobe or Rutgers. 
Fruits are medium to large, firm, thick 
walled, average 8 ozs. in weight, deep globular 
in shape, scarlet-red in color; flesh is meaty 
and so rich in flavor that other popular varie- 
ties seem flat in comparison. A valuable main- 
crop tomato for the home garden, market 
grower and long-distance shipping. 
Pkt. (30 seeds) 35¢; 3 pkts. $1.00 
60 days. Early, highly prolific hybrid 
noted for its uniformly shaped smooth 
fruits which are of medium size, average 
6 ozs. in weight, oblate to globular in 
shape, even red in color and mildly acid 
sweet in flavor. 
Plants begin to bear early and continue 
to produce profusely throughout theentire 
season. This is a decided improvement 
over the standard varieties that begin to 
bear early but ina short time reach their 
peak of productivity. Especially recom- 
mended for early market and home garden. 
Pkt. (30 seeds) 25¢; 3 pkts. 70¢ 
370 Burpee Hybrid Cucumber 
60 days. High resistance to bacterial wilt, mosaic, 
and downy mildew are the outstanding 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, 2% in. wide, square at both 
ends with medium seed cavity and crisp, white flesh of 
excellent quality. Burpee Hybrid Cucumber outyields 
open pollinated varieties because the vines continue to 
produce their fruits long after the others have ceased.
