400 A & C Cucumber 
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, beauti- 
fully 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 uniformly fine shape 
and color, and we recommend it highly. See 
prices on next page. 
“Last year (my first year as a farmer) I planted 
A & C cucumber seed. On the market my cukes 
sold at a premium while others were returning 
home with their kind.” 
John H. Richards, Bay City, Mich., Jan. 17, 1947 
418 Harris’ Double Yield 
Early—The Best for Pickles 
This is the kind to grow for pickles. More 
growers every year plant our famous Double 
Yield, now improved in type and yield by 
selection and breeding here on our farms. 
The small cucumbers are very straight with 
blunt ends, smooth, cylindrical and medium 
deep green in color. They are ideal for small 
pickles and 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. 
430 Marketer 
New Extra Fancy, Dark Green Slicing Type 
A very vigorous and prolific stream- 
lined cucumber that is rapidly becom- 
ing the leading variety for slicing in the 
East. The smooth slender fruits are 
remarkably 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 
tremendous yields of these slim, elegant 
deep green fruit. One great advantage 
is that the fruit on the late pickings is 
just the same excellent type as on the 
first picking. If you want extra fancy 
slicers for market, grow Marketer. See 
prices on next page. 
438 Straight Eight 
An Early Prolific Long White Spine 
Has become very popular among growers be- 
cause of the large early yield of fine straight 
cucumbers. Straight Eight produces heavy crops 
at a time when the other kinds are only just 
beginning to bear. The vines continue to pro- 
duce heavily throughout the season. 
When ready for market the cucumbers are 8 
to 9 inches long, straight, smooth and blunt 
ended. The color is medium green with green 
rays at the blossom end. We can recommend 
Straight Eight for a money making crop. See 
prices on next page. 
Use Copper Spray (C-O-C-S) to control mildew and other 
diseases on cucumbers. See page 48.
