HART & VICK’S CUCUMBER 
About 2 pounds will plant an acre in hills, 3-4 pounds when drilled 
A & C—68 days. One of the best of the white spine varieties

orous plants bearing quantities of 10 in. dark green fruits 
1% to 2 in. in diameter with blunt ends, very uniform,

Cubit—70 days. All America Bronze Medal Winner, 1944. 
Bears very heavy crops of 8-inch cylinder-shaped, very 
dark green fruits with blunt ends, thick flesh with very 
few seeds. Cubit holds its color much longer than most 
other kinds. Cucumber growers, who have been carefully 
watching Cubit and Marketer, are pretty well evenly 
divided in their opinions as to which is better. Cubit is a 
white spined variety. % lb., 85c; lb., $2.95; 5 to 25 lbs. @ 
$2.85 per lb., 25 to 100 lbs. @ $2.65 per lb. 
Deltus—72 days. Originated by Adelbert Titus of Ironde- 
quoit, N. Y. who was very well known by cucumber grow- 
ers throughout the country for the high quality of the 
fruit he grew and sold. Introduced by us several years 
ago as, not only a very superior forcing variety, but also 
splendid for outdoor growing where the most perfect fruits 
were wanted. Deltus is probably the finest looking cucum- 
ber grown. 10 inches long. Slim, blunt ended, very smooth, 
showing practically no spines. It’s the smartest looking, 
deep glossy green cucumber we have ever seen. Its one 
fault is that it does not bear as heavily as many white 
spined varieties. %4 lb., 85c; lb., $2.95; 5 to 25 lbs. @ $2.85; 
25 lbs. @ $2.65 per lb.
