CUCUMBER 
Marketer—Beautiful, dark green slicers. 
430 MARKETER. The Best Dark Green Cucumber. 
65 days. The last word in fine cucumbers. Famous for its remarkable 
yields of slim, smooth, dark green fruit, Marketer now leads all others 
for market, shipping and home use. The thick white flesh is crisp, 
firm and delicious to eat and the skin has a glossier, darker green 
color than any other variety. See photo and full description on page 5.

434 NIAGARA (New) Dark Green—Mosaic Resistant. 65 days. Mosaic 
has been responsible for most of the stunted vines and premature 
dying of cucumbers recently, especially last year. If you have had 
difficulty of this sort, Niagara is worth a trial. Developed by Dr. 
H. M. Munger of Cornell, it is highly resistant to mosaic, standing up 
well all season where others are destroyed. The fruit are long, nearly 
cylindrical and blunt-ended and the color is remarkable—very deep 
green over the entire fruit. 
We find that Marketer performs better when mosaic is not present, 
and Niagara under some conditions shows a percentage or scarred 
or curved fruit, but in other tests the type has been very good. Its 
high resistance, however, makes it well worth a trial.

405 CHINA. Grow this for Fine Quality. 
75 days. This remarkable cucumber from the Orient is of finer quality 
than any other variety we know. The fruit is very long, often reaching 
20 inches in length and only 2 inches through. When grown on the 
ground, these long thin cukes often show some tendency to curl. (To 
get straight ones, grow them on a fence or trellis.) The skin is bright 
green, and nearly smooth, the spines being few and small. The flesh 
is white, firm, extremely crisp, and of the very best quality. 
One of the best features of China is its ability to stand adverse 
conditions. The vines are vigorous and resist disease well, after main- 
taining their large growth throughout the season right up till frost. 
This is one of the best cucumbers for the garden and our customers 
are most enthusiastic in its praise.

A packet of seed will plant 20 hills; an ounce about 80 hills 
or sow 50 feet of row. About 2 Ibs. of seed per acre. 
Sow in the latitude of upstate New York in 
the middle of May for early slicers and up 
to the end of June for pickles and late cu- 
cumbers. Keep the vines well picked for 
best results. Early plantings do better when 
protected by HOTKAPS (See page 83). 
Insects and insect-borne diseases are best 
controlled by light, even dusting or spraying 
at regular intervals until plants are full 
grown. Dust with Copper Rotenone. Spray 
with NNOR-Rotenone and either Copper 
Spray C-O-C-S or the powerful new Zerlate. 
(See page 82.) 
438 STRAIGHT EIGHT. Early, Prolific. 62 days. 
Noted for its heavy early yields and even 
cylindrical shape. The cucumbers are about 
eight inches long, straight and smooth with 
exceptionally full and rounded ends. The 
color is medium green with lighter green rays 
at the blossom end. It produces quantities of 
early fruit when the other slicers are just 
beginning to bear. An excellent variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c;

437 SENSATION HYBRID (New) Extra Vigor and Yield. 
64 days. This is the cucumber to grow in the home garden! It is not 
only early but so vigorous and long-lived that it will far outyield ordi- 
nary varieties over the season. A true, first-generation hybrid, resistant 
to mosaic and a good slicing type. The well-formed fruit are blocky, 
medium green and of excellent quality, crisp and delicious. See photo 
and description on inside front cover.

type for market and shipping as well as home use. The fruit are about 
8 inches long, slightly larger and thicker than Marketer, smooth and

their color well. The thick white flesh and crisp delicious flavor make 
this a cucumber of fine quality.
