CUCUMBER, Marketer 
MARKETER. 70 days. A variety of recent intro- | STRAIGHT EIGHT. 65 days. This outstanding 
duction, producing Cucumbers that have a rich dark 
green color carried well down to the blossom end. 
Fruits 8 to 10 inches long, 214 inches in diameter, 
with a very small seed cavity. Its uniform shape and 
attractive dark green color all over, even on the 
ground side, makes it one of the best early varieties 
for commercial growers. Vines vigorous and prolific. 
A. & C. 68 days. An excellent early, dark green 
Cucumber with a heavy set. The Cucumbers are 
7 to 8 inches long and 2 to 21% inches thick at market 
stage. They hold their dark green color much longer 
after picking than most kinds, are tender yet firm 
and crisp, and have a delicious flavor. 
BURPEE HYBRID. 60 days. The outstanding 
feature of this hybrid slicing Cucumber is its high 
resistance to mosaic and downy mildew. Vines are 
very vigorous and bear a large number of well- 
formed Cucumbers 8 inches and more long, 21% 
inches wide, square at both ends, with medium seed 
cavity and crisp white flesh of excellent quality. 
Burpee Hybrid Cucumber outyields open-pollinated 
varieties because the vines continue to produce long 
after others have died. Particularly good for late 
plantings. 
PALMETTO. 67 days. Vine similar to Cubit but with 
more deeply lobed leaves and highly resistant to 
downy mildew, making this new variety particularly 
valuable for fall production in southern areas. Fruits 
slightly pointed towards ends, with dark green ex- 
terior and relatively small seed cavity. Fruits 8 
inches long with a diameter of 214 inches.

PHILADELPHIA 6, PA. 
variety produces symmetrical, cylindrical fruits 
about 8 inches in length and about 1% inches in 
diameter; white spined. Fruits well rounded at the 
ends, deep green when ready to use, and free from 
objectionable striping or tipping. 
CUBIT. 72 days. An attractive variety, distinguished 
by unusually dark green, uniform exterior color and 
long, blunt-ended, cylindrical shape. Of smooth 
crisp texture, with small seed cavity; admirably 
adapted for slicing. 
SANTEE. 64 days. Early, highly productive and 
tolerant to mildew. The fruit has an attractive 
cylindrical, blunt shape with good dark green color.

but has not been too widely tested in the North. 
Not quite so mildew resistant as Palmetto but more 
handsome and prolific. 
BLACK DIAMOND. 54 days. Fruits grow 6% to 
71% inches long and 2/4 inches across, straight, blunt 
ended and with a very deep green skin. The flesh 
is pure white, tasty and of the finest quality. Widely 
used in home and market gardens.

pickling variety. Used for both dill and small pickles. 
Fruits 6 inches long and 2!% inches thick; prolific, 
black spined, medium dark green, rather blunt at 
each end and of excellent pickling qualities
