CUCUMBER, A. & C. 
A. & C. 68 days. An excellent early, dark green 
Cucumber with a heavy set. The Cucumbers are 
7 to 8 inches long and 2 to 2% inches thick at market 
stage. They hold their dark green color much longer 
after picking than most kinds, are tender yet firm 
and crisp, and have a delicious flavor. 
BURPEE HYBRID. 60 days. The outstanding 
feature of this hybrid slicing Cucumber is its high 
resistance to mosaic and downy mildew. Vines are 
very vigorous and bear a large number of well- 
formed Cucumbers 8 inches and more long, 24 
inches wide, square at both ends, with medium seed 
cavity and crisp white flesh of excellent quality. 
Burpee Hybrid Cucumber outyields open-pollinated 
varieties because the vines continue to produce long 
after others have died. Particularly good for late 
plantings. 
MARKETER. 70 days. A variety of recent intro- 
duction, producing Cucumbers that have a rich dark 
green color carried well down to the blossom end. 
Fruits 8 to 10 inches long, 244 inches in diameter, 
with a very small seed cavity. Its uniform shape and 
attractive dark green color all over, even on the 
ground side, makes it one of the best early varieties 
for commercial growers. Vines vigorous and prolific.

production of high-grade small pickles. Fruit 
straight, symmetrical, full at the ends, about 6 inches 
long, 2144 to 21% inches thick when mature.

ping. Fruits rich dark green, retaining their color

objectionable striping cr tipping. An ideal shipping
