60 days. High resistance to mosaic and downy mildew are the out- 
standing attributes of this true first generation (F,) hybrid white 
spine, slicing type cucumber. Vines are extremely vigorous, long 
lived and bear an abundance of well-formed green fruits of hand- 
some appearance, 8 in. and more long, 2% in. wide, square at both 
ends with medium seed cavity and crispy, white flesh of excellent 
quality. Burpee Hybrid Cucumber outyields open pollinated 
varieties because the vines continue to produce their fruits most 
profusely for a long time after the others have ceased. Gardeners 
everywhere write us of the wonderful results they are having with 
this cucumber. Hundreds of testimonials could be printed but space

**—T have raised Burpee Hybrid Cucumbers for several years and find them far 
superior to any other kind that I have used. I find they do best when furnished 
low racks over which to climb. This method has the advantage of keeping the 
fruit off the ground. .. .”’ R. Allen, Convent, N. J. 
“‘—T had great success with your Burpee Hybrid Cucumbers at Westminster, 
Calif. The thick mats of leaves kept the heat off the fruits and there was no wilting. 
Far better than any other variety that I have planted in Southern California.’’ 
H. R. Peterson, Long Beach, Calif. 
““—Last year I tried your Burpee Hybrid Cucumbers and raised such a big crop 
that I decided to keep count this year. I planted seven hills and left only one plant 
to a hill. Started gathering them in mid-July and harvested the last on September 
23, the vines holding their color and remaining disease-free long after others in the 
neighborhood had folded up. 
“Counting only the good-sized, well-shaped cucumbers, I harvested a total of 728. 
Not a bad yield. Thanks for having produced them. .. .”
