CUCUMBER 
Marketer— Quantities of fine glossy fruit on these husky vines. 
430 MARKETER. The Best Dark Green Slicer. 
65 days. Whether for home use, market or shipping, Marketer is be- 
yond a doubt the last word in fine cucumbers. It is very smooth, slim 
and handsome and carries an exceptional deep green color over the 
entire fruit. At the picking stage, these cukes are 7 to 8 inches long, 
slender and tapered symmetrically at the ends giving a most elegant 
appearance. Its ability to hold its freshness, dark color and trim 
shape for several days makes Marketer the growers’ favorite. 
The crisp white flesh is unusually thick with a tiny seed cavity, and 
the high quality is maintained over a long period. Famous for big 
yields of fine even fruit, Marketer produces heavily from early until 
late. Our strain is noted for uniformity and true type; for the best in 
dark green cucumbers, grow our Marketer.

434 NIAGARA. 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, 
much longer than most varieties. 
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 it has been used 
with great satisfaction by growers in many areas. The vines are large 
and vigorous and yield well over a long period. If you have had trouble 
with disease, try Niagara.

436 SANTEE. For Coastal Areas. 64 days. Our seed is Santee 5-2, the 
new dark green strain of this mildew-tolerant cucumber from Dr. 
W. C. Barnes of South Carolina. It is early, highly productive and 
has an attractive large cylindrical shape with blunt ends. Recommend- 
ed for coastal and other areas where mildew is apt to injure the crop.

425 IRONDEQUOIT HOTHOUSE. For Greenhouse Growing. This famous 
hothouse cucumber is the best to raise under glass. The fruit is long, 
slender, deep green and nearly perfectly solid, with very few seeds. 
The vines are large-growing, vigorous and prolific. 
100 seeds, 75c; 250 seeds, $1.75; 500 seeds, $3.25; 1000 seeds, $5.50. 
China—Fine, crisp, well-flayored cukes up to twenty inches long. 
A packet of seed will plant 20 hills; an ounce about 80 hills 
or 50 feet of row. About 2 Ibs. 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 cucumbers. 
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 or the new Garden Dust. Spray with NNOR- 
Rotenone and either Copper Spray C-O-C-S or 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. 35c; 14 Lb. 95c; 1% Lb. $1.55; Lb. $2.50. 
437 SENSATION HYBRID. Ideal for Home Use. 
64 days. From early in the summer until frost in the fall, Sensation 
yields amazing crops of big, delicious slicing cucumbers. It is a true 
hybrid, combining disease-resistance, heavy yields and fruit of fine 
quality. These handsome cucumbers average nearly 8 in. long, thick 
with rounded ends and the skin is an attractive medium green with 
rather prominent rays. The firm white flesh is crisp and mild in flavor, 
very delightful to eat. 
Hybrid vigor gives Sensation its abundant healthy foliage and 
strong, fast growth. Mosaic resistant, the sturdy vines bear profusely 
throughout the season, long after the others are gone. Highly recom- 
mended to all home gardeners. 
Pkt. (about 40 seeds) 30c; 14 Oz. $1.25; 14 Oz. $2.25; Oz. $3.35.

Sensation Hybrid—Resists disease and yields heavily all season. 
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, often 
maintaining their large growth throughout the season right up till 
frost. One of the best garden cucumbers. 
Pkt. 15ce; 44 Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lh. $1.55.
