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!

NEW eEVERBEARING 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. 25¢; 3 Pkts. 65¢, 
Postpaid.
