416 Green Thumb Pickle (New) 
Smooth, White-Spined Pickles 
Developed here on our farms from a single dark 
green, white-spined fruit found in our famous 
Double Yield, this new pickle should have a 
real place. It is one of the earliest and most 
productive varieties we have ever seen. 
The fruit resemble Double Yield in size and 
shape; they are smooth and round with blunt 
ends and straight sides. The color is a rich deep 
green, and as the cucumbers get older they do 
not turn yellow like most pickle types but stay 
dark and fresh-looking. For this reason, it 
should be valuable for small, extra early slicers 
as well as for pickles. 
Very uniform and attractive in appearance, 
these smooth dark pickles deserve a real trial.

418 Harris’ Double Yield 
Early—Fine Pickle Type 
An old favorite Harris variety, this is still one of 
the best to grow for pickles. Very early and a 
tremendous yielder, Double Yield produces 
smooth handsome fruit of uniform type. 
Both in the pickle sizes and as small cucum- 
bers, the fruit are very straight with blunt ends, 
smooth and cylindrical in shape. The color is a 
medium green, darker than most of the older 
pickle types. 
If they are kept picked, the vines produce 
astonishing crops. Pickles are often produced in 
clusters of 3 or 4, and they start to bear while 
the plants are still small. Highly recommended.

_ 430 Marketer 
The Best Slicing Cucumber 
By far the finest variety yet developed 
in slicers, Marketer has the shape, size, 
color and yielding ability that both 
growers and their customers want. The 
smooth slender fruits are remarkably 
uniform and trim in appearance, and a 
beautiful dark green color, extending 
all the way down to the blossom end. 
They average 7 to 8 inches long, straight 
and slightly tapered at the ends. The 
flesh is thick with a small seed cavity. 
Marketer produces tremendous yields 
of these slim, elegant, deep green fruit. 
One great advantage is that the fruit on 
the late pickings is just the same ex- 
cellent type as on the first picking. If 
you want extta fancy slicers, grow our 
Marketer. See prices on next page. 
437 Sensation Hybrid 
Disease-Resistant—Heavy Yielding 
A true F; hybrid, Sensation is early and 
disease resistant. It will yield quantities 
of large, medium green, blunt-ended 
fruit and the vines stand up well all 
season. Not the best market type but a 
vigorous productive hybrid that stands 
up where others fail. Excellent for the 
smaller grower. See prices on next page. 
434 Niagara 
New Mosaic-Resistant Slicer 
Developed by Dr. H. M. Munger of Cornell, 
this new mosaic-resistant slicer has done well 
for a number of growers. Its large vigorous 
vines yield well and continue to produce long 
after others have gone down with mosaic. 
The fruit are attractive in shape, long, nearly 
cylindrical with an excellent deep green color 
over- the entire fruit. If you have not tried it, 
plant it on a small scale as it shows scarred and 
curved fruit under some conditions. With us, it 
has proved a good producer with a high degree 
of mosaic resistance. See prices on next page.
