CUCUMBER 
Marketer — The outstanding characteristics of this new 
variety are its earliness, its trim shape and rich deep green 
color which is carried right down to the blossom end of the 
fruits. The vines are very prolific and, over the past several 
years at our Eastern breeding station, have shown less 
damage from mosaic than standard varieties grown in close 
proximity. An interesting feature is the larger than usual 
proportion of female blossoms, which contributes both to 
the earliness and to yield. The fruits are not quite so long 
as some of the slicing varieties commonly grown. From the 
market grower’s point of view, its earliness, uniformity of 
size and heavy yield will be of importance in addition to the 
appeal it will make to the buyer’s eye.

TOMATO 
Valiant. (New) Large, Very Early Fruit — In many sec- 
tions for both home and market, this new early tomato has 
now taken the place of the old Earliana. It usually ripens 
a few days later than that variety but the fruit is so much 
better looking and finer quality that this difference is un- 
important. The tomatoes are of good size, round and smooth, 
and color up to the stem much better than Earliana. The 
shape is even and the flesh is firm and thick; the quality.is 
very good for an extra early variety. The vines are large 
and vigorous and have a spreading habit of growth; they do 
best on heavier soils with high fertility. Early yields are 
very heavy and this variety is widely adapted for Northern 
conditions.

GREAT LAKES LETTUCE. 
Crisp Sclid Heads — Stands Summer Heat 
All American Winner 
Great Lakes — Crisp Solid Heads — Stands Summer Heat. 
All American Winner — For years gardeners have wanted a 
crisp heading lettuce of Iceberg type that would stand up 
and produce good hard heads even after the weather gets 
hot in mid-summer. Great Lakes, developed at Michigan 
State College, is the answer. It stands without bolting or 
producing a seed stalk long after other varieties are gone and 
it is exceptionally resistant to tip-burn. Planted in the spring, 
it makes heads about a week later than Imperial 44 and re- 
mains in fine condition for a long time thereafter in spite 
of hot weather. The plants are large and vigorous and the 
heads are of good size and extremely hard. The leaves are 
dark green, attractively fringed and blistered and they wrap 
tightly over the head, making solid compact heads of un- 
usual crispness. 
Great Lakes is an ideal type for home gardeners who have 
difficulty growing good head lettuce as it does well under a 
wide range of conditions. Like all head lettuce, it requires 
plenty of room for each plant — at least 14 inches each way. 
‘thin the plants while they are still small. For summer let- 
tuce, the new Great Lakes has no equal.
