437 Sensation Hybrid = 
The Ideal Cucumber for Home Use 
From early in the summer until frost in the fall, Sensa- 
tion yields amazing crops of big, delicious slicing cucum~ 
bers. It is a true hybrid, combining disease-resistance, 
heavy yields and fruit of fine quality. These handsome 
cucumbers average nearly 8 in. long, thick with rounded 
ends and the skin is an attractive medium green with 
rather prominent rays. The firm white flesh is crisp and 
mild in flavor, very delightful to eat. 
Hybrid vigor makes Sensation stand out from other 
varieties with its abundant healthy foliage and strong, 
fast growth. Mosaic resistant, the sturdy vines bear 
profusely throughout the season, long after the others 
are gone. We highly recommend it to all home gardeners.

F, hybrid tomato seed is rather expensive and we find much of its vigor, yield and fine 
type is carried over into the second (F,) generation, with little loss of uniformity. We 
believe the two combinations below are well worthy of trial by tomato growers.
