Marketeer Cucumber 
A New Variety of Great Merit 

The best market variety since A & C and Colorado. The intense dark green color runs 
down to the blossom end. Marketeer grows very uniform in size and shape. 
NEW VARIETY Marketeer is a new slicing or market cucumber of great merit. It is inten- 
sely green, with the dark green color running down to the blossom end. 
The last pickings are as dark green as the early pickings. The fruits grow more uniform in 
size and shape than most market varieties, a feature that makes it very popular with produce 
buyers. This variety is a cross between Straight-8, one of the best varieties ever developed 
for uniform size and smooth fruits, and A & C, one of the best varieties for good color. Mar- 
keteer has the good points of both these varieties. 
HIGH PERCENTAGE OF Growers find that Marketeer produces very few crooks, nubbins, 
MARKETABLE FRUITS or culls. This is one of the principal reasons that Marketeer is 
becoming so popular. Fruits grow about 8 inches long, and are 
more slender than A & C and Colorado. Many growers report that Marketeer seems to with- 
stand intense heat late in the picking season hetter than other varieties. We have not had 
occasion to observe this characteristic as weather conditions for cucumbers have been 
favorable in this section since Marketeer was introduced. 
SETS LARGE NUMBER Even under fair growing conditions, Marketeer sets a large num- 
OF FRUITS ber of fruits. It seems to set a large number of new fruits more 
rapidly after picking season starts than other market varieties. 
For this reason the early yield of Marketeer is frequently greater than other market varieties. 
Marketeer is the leading new variety because of its outstanding merit. We strongly recom- 
mend that you try this variety.
