CHECKING CUCUMBERS IN.OUR TEST GARDENS 
This year we test-planted 17 varieties of cucumbers in our 76 acre 
Test Gardens. All 17 were carefully compared for size, yield, color, 
length of production, etc. The cucumbers listed here were found to 
be the best available by every test. Our Triple-Testing program is 
carried out with one thought in mind: You deserve the best in vege- 
tables . . . and we will find them and bring them to you! 
IMPROVED LONG GREEN 
Smooth, Small Seeded, Finest for Slicing and Pickling 
372. (68 days.) The all purpose cucumber. An old favorite that needs no 
introduction. Grows 8 to 9 inches long. Beautiful glossy green skin with 
pure white crisp solid flesh. The small seed cavity makes it ideal for dills, 
slicing and chunk pickles. Long Green was the first cucumber we remem- 
ber hearing of. This improved strain of Long Green is tops for small sweet 
pickles when 14 or % grown. Thousands of you friends, we know, rely on 
this grand cucumber for your pickles every year.

ALL HEART 
355. (68 Days.) One of the smoothest and best cucumbers we have ever 
grown in our test gardens. The darkest, richest green and, even in the medi- 
um and larger fruits, the seeds are small. It deserves the name ALL HEART.

made. You can pick them small for sweets, medium for dills. You are sure 
to have plenty of every size you want.

ENDIVE 
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 29). 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; 3 Pkts. 65c, 
Postpaid.

cept our hybrid. Average about 7 to 8 inches long,

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.
