Straight-8 66 days. The Straight-8 Cucum- 
ber is an outstanding breeding 
accomplishment. Straight-8 produces sym- 
metrical, 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. The vines are vigorous 
and remarkably productive. Although. pri- 
marily bred for the shipping trade, its many 
fine qualities make it an ideal slicing variety 
for the home garden and local market. Also 
used in the South as a long pickling variety. 
So good that it won the ‘All America” Gold 
Medal Award for 1935.

Taxpayer or Improved Early 
64 days. The Taxpayer can 
Fortune best be described as a heavy 
yielding, 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, doing 
away with the objectionable light striping. 
Fruits dark green, tapers abruptly to the stem 
end and slightly to the blossom end. An excel- 
-lent shipper, and one of the mildest flavored of the dark green sorts. 
Length eight to nine inches, thickness two and onehalf inches. 
White spined.
