CUCUMBERS 
430 Marketer 
The Best Slicing Cucumber 
By far the finest slicer yet developed, Marketer has the shape, size, color and yielding 
ability that both growers and their customers want. The smooth slender fruits are 
remarkably uniform and trim in appearance with beautiful dark green color, extend- 
ing all the way down to the blossom end. They average 7 to 8 inches long, straight 
and slightly tapered at the ends. The flesh is thick with a small seed cavity. 
Marketer produces tremendous yields of these slim, elegant, deep green fruit. One 
great advantage is that the fruit on the late pickings is just the same excellent type 
as on the first picking. For extra fancy slicers, grow our Marketer. See prices below. 
434 Niagara-—Glossy, Dark Green—Mosaic Resistant 
Developed at Cornell Univ., this is a dark green slicing cucumber with excellent 
resistance to mosaic. The fruit are long, blunt-ended and nearly cylindrical with 
deep green color over the entire fruit. It frequently produces a number of scarred 
and curved cucumbers but has been very successful with many growers and is well 
worth a trial where mosaic is severe. Our own crops have been notable for large 
vigorous vines, good yields and dependable mosaic resistance. See prices below. 
437 Sensation Hybrid 
Heavy Yielding—Improved Type 
This productive F, hybrid is now much im- 
proved in appearance and performance. The 
vines are large-leaved and very vigorous, 
standing up well all season and bearing large 
crops in spite of mosaic and some other dis- 
eases. The medium green fruit have good 
shape and appearance, not as fancy as Mar- 
keter but of very acceptable type. The heavy 
yields and disease resistance make it a most 
profitable kind to grow. Be sure to try this 
new strain. See prices below. 
418 Harris’ Double Yield 
Early—Highly Popular Type 
An old favorite Harris variety, Double Yield 
is early and a tremendous yielder, producing 
great numbers of smooth, handsome pickles 
of uniform type. Both as pickles and small 
cucumbers they are straight and blunt-ended 
with a smooth cylindrical shape. The color is 
medium green, darker than most commercial 
pickling types.

432 Ohio MR 25 Pickle (New) 
Attractive Fruit—Very Resistant 
A new release from the Ohio Experiment Sta- 
tion and the H. J. Heinz Co., this new black 
spined pickle looks outstanding with us. It is 
even more resistant to mosaic than Ohio MR 
17 (but is not resistant to scab or spot rot). 
The fruit are slightly shorter, more blunt- 
ended and symmetrical than MR 17, some- 
what smoother, with the same attractive me- 
dium dark color. Very uniform and hand- 
some in all sizes and should be excellent for 
market as well as commercial pack. 
The large, vigorous vines bear heavily over 
a long period, often standing up until frost. 
Try Ohio MR 25 this year. See prices below. 
435 Ohio MR 17 
Excellent Mosaic-Resistant Pickle 
Introduced in 1952, Ohio MR 17 has become

packers. Slightly longer than the new MR 25 
or the old standard National Pickling, these 
pickles are nearly cylindrical with blunt ends, 
giving an attractive shape. The color is darker 
than most pickles and they make a fine uni- 
form pack. Vigorous, broad leaved vines. Also 
from the Ohio Station and Heinz Co. See
