We grow our own Cucumber seed and know it to be strictly high grade. All 
our Cucumber seed is treated before shipping. This treatment controls, damping- 
off, also several serious leaf diseases carried on the seed, such as anthracnose, 
angular leaf spot and macrosporium leaf spot. Treating the seed is one more 
added service to our already high-bred superior stocks and will make your crops 
more dependable. Don’t run the risk of planting untreated cucumber seed when 
our Michigan grown treated seed costs no. more. 









Early Michigan 
Fer Dependable Yields 
64 days. Fruits rich deep green; straight, 
cylindrical; about 8 inches long and 1% 
inches thick. Superb home garden variety 
for slicing and salad use; good for home 

pickling; ideal for ‘‘Bread and butter’’ 
pickles. Fruits streamlined for packing and 
shipping, Straight-8 has natural capacity 
for extremely high yields under favorable 
conditions; plants bear relatively high pro- 
portions of fruit-producing female flowers 
and correspondingly low proportions of non- 
productive male flowers. , 
JAPANESE CLIMBING 
(Wilt Resistant) 
60 days. A good variety to save garden space as the 
vigorous and healthy vines throw out strong tendrils, 
enabling them to climb trellis, wire netting or any other 
suitable support. The most wilt resistant of all. Fruits 
long and thick, crisp, tender and of good quality. If 
kept picked, the vines will bear freely all season. 

Straight-8 

WHITE WONDER 
This white cucumber is white at all stages of growth and, 
when about 3 inches long, make very attractive pickles when 
packed in glass containers. The quality is also all that could be 
desired. If allowed to mature, the fruits are about 7 inches 
long by 2% inches thick. They are exceptionally mild and are 
excellent for slicing. Bear in great abundance, beginning early 
and continuing until fall. Especially recommended for the 
home garden. 

Cucumbers actually aid digestion. Most digestive difficulties are due to soaking 
in salt water too long. They contain vitamins B, and G.
