60 days—True first-generation hybrid, white- 
spine slicer, combining marketable qualities 
with high resistance to diseases. The extremely 
vigorous and long-lived vines bear an abun- 
dance of well-formed, handsome fruits, 8 in. 
and more long, 2% in. wide at marketable 
stage, square at both ends, medium seed 
cavity and crispy white flesh of fine 
quality. Growers in the South acclaim 
Burpee Hybrid because it requires 
less rigid schedule of spraying to 
combat downy mildew and because 
of its high yield. In the North, 
growers prefer Burpee Hybrid be- 
cause it produces a good crop 
early as well as late when prices 
are high and most other va- 
rieties succumb to mosaic 
and mildew. 
1% oz. $2.20; oz. $4.25; 
1/4 lb. $12.75; lb. $35.00; 
2 to 9 lbs. @ $34.00 
per lb.; 
10 lbs. or more 
@ $33.00 per Ib.

“This past spring I 
purchased 100 pounds 
of your Hybrid Cucum- 
ber seed. To date, these 
cucumbers have out-yielded 
and out-lasted any variety 
that I have grown heretofore. 
Because of their outstanding 
performance, I should like to 
place my order for 100 pounds 
of Hybrid Cucumber seed from 
this year’s crop.”

“TI am still picking as of today from 
the last planting, and they are showing 
about 85% fancy.”
