after the soil is thoroughly warm. And, don’t think you have to give up grow-

and may be grown on a fence or trellis. You will be surprised at the number 
of fruits the Burpee Hybrid will produce. Pkt. (30 seeds) 35¢; i

“__T grew a row of your Burpee Hybrid Cucumbers and provided support so they could 
climb, Vines grew 7 ft. 11 in. high, stayed green almost the whole summer and bore a heavy 
crop of cucumbers. I had all I could use; in addition, I supplied my daughter and family, 
my brother’s daughter and two neighbors with cucumbers. Your hybrid tomatoes 
and other vegetables were fine. My advice is to grow your own vegetables and 
get fresh air, sunshine and a barrel of funin doing it... .”

cumbers for the past two years and 
took first prize at the show both 
years. It certainly has everything a 
good cuke should have; color, taste, 
size, small seeds and prolific produc- 
tion over a long period, and stands 
the hot dry spells we get here in Au-

Burpee Hybrid Cucumber (foreground) has such high resistance to mosaic and downy mildew that it outyields the 
standard varieties (in background) because the vines continue to produce for a long time after others have ceased.
