HYBRID 
CUCUMBER 
This fine hybrid cucum- 
ber offered by Salzer is a dis- 
tinct improvement over most 
other varieties. It is an established 
fact that hybrids such as this are far 
more vigorous, producing a greater crop. 
The fruits are handsome and well formed, 8 
or 9 inches long with blunt, rounded ends and a 
thin rich deep green skin. Flesh is white and crisp, 
with minimum seed cavity. The vines are remarkably re- 
sistant to disease and insect pests, and will continue to bear 
fruit long after open pollinated varieties 
in harvesting so as not to injure the vines and thus reduce the amount 
of fruit which may be produced. Matures in 60 days. 459—Pkg. (35 seeds), 
25c; 3 pkgs., 65c; 14 04, $2.35; 02., $4.50. :

Is an ideal slicer, excellent for pickling, 
heavy yielder, the earliest of all the White 
Spine varieties, producing fine, marketable

improved at Cliffwood Farms, and we have 
never yet found any cucumber to equal the 
40-Day in earliness,’ uniformity, produc- 
tiveness, and superb quality. Market gar- 
deners who reap the highest prices, and 
home gardeners who want the best and 
earliest cucumbers will usually plant only
