-ONIONS FROM OUR TEST GARDENS 
We had an especially extensive planting on Onions last year because we 
were looking for a Hybrid Onion which we could recommend to home gar- 
deners. Although we had 24 plantings of Hybrid Onions, none of them 
were as good as the onions from Yellow Sweet Spanish plants. The Hybrid 
Onions were not as large nor nearly as mild as Yellow Sweet Spanish. In 
all, we test planted 49 different varieties of Onions. We will keep looking 
and testing again next year. Meanwhile, we are sure the best Onions for 
the home gardener come from our Yellow Sweet Spanish and White Sweet 
Keeper plants. (The picture above was taken late in September, when we 
were making our second check on keeping quality.)

NEW EVERBEARING BURPEE HYBRID 
Yields Heavily When Others Fail. Keeps Producing Until Frost. 
354. (60 days.) Anytime after the vine growth was well started in late June until 
frost came you could stand off 100 yards from our Test Plantings and tell which 
was the hybrid. The growth was that much more vigorous. The set of fruit was 
heavier. And, after the open pollinated varieties had nearly all dried up and 
quit, this great hybrid went right on producing. The cucumbers are of excellent 
quality, too. Nice green color, smooth, 7 to 8 inches long and 2 to 2% inches through 
(See color picture on Page 24). The seeds are smaller and there are a lot less of 
them. Customers simply can’t believe their own eyes when they see what this hybrid 
does. They grow better cukes and more cukes in a lot less space and on a lot fewer 
vines. You can do it, too, if you plant our hybrid this year. Pkt. 25c. 
MARKETER 
370. (63 Days.) With a wonderful record in our Test 
Gardens two years in succession, Marketer has earned 
a place in our catalog. It is really a very fine cucum- 
ber and a most prolific producer. Outyielded all ex- 
cept our hybrid. Average about 7 to 8 inches long, 
2 to 2% inches through, and they are smooth. An- 
other feature is the deep dark green color. The 
flesh is a crispy snow-white. Marketer will make a 
friend and a booster out of you, too.
