Niagara. This variety is the first slicing variety that is resistant 
to Cucumber Mosaic. In comparative trials Niagara shows 
the same plant vigor and large leaf construction that you 
find in hybrids. The fruit is white spined, shaped like 
Cubit, being blunt on the blossom end, is very dark green 
in color at picking stage and also through its development, 
very small seed cavity. The flesh is white, crisp, tender, 
and of excellent quality. The Cucumber varies from 7% 
to 10 inches in length, being straight, cylindrical and of 
excellent dark green color. The vine is vigorous, the leaves 
much larger than normal varieties, and the plant stands 
up under adverse conditions better than normal varieties. 
It also has a good spring vigor, getting away fast in the 
spring and it has shown practically a total resistance to 
Cucumber Mosaic. It is in season with Cubit or Marketer. 
Early Surecrop, Hybrid (Fl). It is an All-American winner. The 
shape is similar to A & C or Cubit. It is in season with 
A & C; a few days earlier than Burpee’s Hybrid. The 
color is very dark green. Hybrid Cucumber is as outstand- 
ing in performance as Hybrid corn when compared to open 
pollinated varieties. The Spring vigor, disease resistance, 
dark green foliage, increased yield and ability to produce 
over a long period makes it especially desirable........
