400 A&C 
The Leading Variety for Market 
The long slender shape and handsome 
dark green color have made this one of the 
most popular cucumbers grown today. They 
are very deep green over the entire fruit, with 
only indistinct blossom end rays, and they 
hold their color well. 
The cucumbers are 8 to 9 inches long, 
beautifully proportioned, smooth and dark 
green, and make a very fancy pack. The vines 
are healthy and produce large crops of the 
finest fruit. Our strain is outstanding for uni- 
formly fine shape and color, and we recom- 
mend it highly. See prices on next page. 
420 Harris’ Perfection—Long Green White Spine—Heavy Yielder 
The fruit is straight, smooth and handsome, deep green in color with small white rays at the 
blossom end, and retains its deep color for a long time after picking. The cucumbers will average 
well over eight inches long when ready for market and are just the right thickness. 
We introduced this variety many years ago and it is still in great demand because of its heavy 
yield and fine appearance. It is well adapted for dill pickles as well as general market. See prices 
on next page. 
TWO FINE NEW VARIETIES OF CUCUMBERS FOR 1945: 
430 Marketer 
New Extra Fancy, Dark Green Slicing Type 
A very vigorous and prolific streamlined 
cucumber that is rapidly gaining popularity in 
the East. The smooth slender fruits are re- 
markably uniform and trim in appearance, 
and have the darkest green color of any variety, 
extending all the way down to the blossom end. 
They average 7 to 8 inches long, straight and 
slightly tapered at the ends, and the flesh is 
very thick with a small seed cavity. 
The vines hold up well and give tremen- 
dous yields of these slim, elegant deep green 
fruit. If you want extra fancy slicers for mar- 
ket, try the new Marketer. See prices on 
next page. 
418 Harris’ Double Yield 
The Best Kind for Pickles 
We are proud to say that our new im- 
proved 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 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 next page. 
407 Cubit (New) 
All-America Bronze Medal Winner 
For years growers have wanted a smooth 
cylindrical cucumber with bluntly rounded 
ends like Straight Eight but with the deep 
color of A & C. The new Cubit fills the bill. It 
is so smooth, straight and round that it has 
been compared to a rolling pin in shape. 
The shiny dark green color covers the en- 
tire fruit, leaving only very indistinct rays at 
the blossom end. It has an exceptionally small 
seed cavity and the flesh is smooth, crisp and 
very thick. It will hold its firm fresh-looking 
appearance for a long time, and is a valuable 
new variety for market and shipping. See 
prices on next page.
