CUCUMBER 
Marketer—The smoothest, most attractive slicer. 
430 MARKETER. The Best Dark Green Cucumber. 
65 days. The last word in fine cucumbers. Famous for its remarkable 
yields of slim, smooth, dark green fruit, Marketer now leads all others 
for market, shipping and home use. The thick white flesh is crisp, 
firm and delicious to eat and the skin has a glossier, darker green 
color than any other variety. See full description on page 5.

434 NIAGARA (New). Dark Green—Mosaic Resistant. 
65 days. For home gardeners and many market growers, this variety 
has great value. It is very resistant to mosaic, the disease that causes 
stunted vines and mottled fruit, and it continues to bear all season, 
long after others are gone. 
Developed by Dr. H. M. Munger of Cornell, this highly resistant 
variety has long, nearly cylindrical blunt-ended fruit with a remark- 
ably fine glossy dark green color. We find that Marketer performs 
better when mosaic is not present, and under some conditions Niagara 
shows a percentage of curved or scarred fruit, but many growers re- 
ported excellent results from their crops last year. The vines are large 
and vigorous and yield well over a long period. If you have had trou- 
ble with disease, try Niagara.

412 EARLY FORTUNE. 63 days. One of the earliest and most popular for 
dills and market. The fruit is about 7 inches long, tapering slightly 
toward each end. The vines are vigorous, healthy and productive.

405 CHINA. Grow this for Fine Quality. 
75 days. This remarkable cucumber from the Orient is of finer quality 
than any other variety we know. The fruit is very long, often reaching 
20 inches in length and only 2 inches through. When grown on the 
ground, these long thin cukes often show some tendency to curl. (To 
get straight ones, grow them on a fence or trellis.) The skin is bright 
green, and nearly smooth, the spines being few and small. The flesh 
is white, firm, extremely crisp, and of the very best quality. 
One of the best features of China is its ability to stand adverse 
conditions. The vines are vigorous and resist disease well, after main- 
taining their large growth throughout the season right up till frost. 
This is one of the best cucumbers for the garden and our customers 
are most enthusiastic in its praise. 
Pkt. 15c; % Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 4% Lb. $1.55. 
A packet of seed will plant 20 hills; an ounce about 80 hills 
or 50 feet of row. About 2 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Sow in the latitude of upstate New York in 
the middle of May for early slicers and up 
to the end of June for pickles and late cu- 
cumbers. Keep the vines well picked for 
‘best results. Early plantings do better when 
protected by HOTKAPS (See page 83). 
Insects and insect-borne diseases are best 
controlled by light, even dusting or spraying 
at regular intervals until plants are full 
grown. Dust with Copper Rotenone. Spray 
with NNOR-Rotenone and either Copper 
Spray C-O-C-S or the powerful new Zerlate. 
(See page 82.) 
438 STRAIGHT EIGHT. Early, Prolific. 62 days. 
Noted for its heavy early yields and even 
cylindrical shape. The cucumbers are about 
eight inches long, straight and smooth with 
exceptionally full and rounded ends. The 
color is medium green with lighter green rays 
at the blossom end. It produces quantities of 
early fruit when the other slicers are just 
beginning to bear. An excellent variety. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 35ce; 14 Lb. 90c; 
14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $2.75. 
437 SENSATION HYBRID (New) Extra Vigor and Yields. 
64 days. This is the cucumber to grow in the home garden! It is not 
only early but so vigorous and long-lived that it will far outyield ordi- 
nary varieties over the season. A true, first-generation hybrid, resistant 
to mosaic and a good slicing type. The well-formed fruit are blocky, 
medium green and of excellent quality, crisp and delicious. See photo 
and description on inside front cover.

Niagara 
Remarkable mosaic resistance and dark glossy color. 
436 SANTEE (New). For Coastal Areas. 64 days. This is the new extra 
dark green strain of Santee just released by Dr. W. C. Barnes of South 
Carolina. It is early, highly productive, tolerant to mildew and has 
an attractive large cylindrical shape with blunt ends. Very promising 
in many tests especially in the South, Santee is recommended for early 
crops where mildew is a problem.
