Erie 
ERIE. A high quality mid-season ASGROW 
hybrid. Plants slightly taller than Golden 
Cross Bantam, with fewer suckers, and 
ears borne higher on the stalk. Yields are 
about the same. The ears are about an inch 
longer, and well filled. The kernels are 
narrower and deeper and have excellent 
color and flavor. Relatively tolerant of 
drought and highly resistant to wiit. 
Huron 
HURON. A mid-season ASGROW hybrid 
with excellent resistance to heat and drought 
and to wilt. The plants are vigorous, with 
few suckers, yielding consistently heavy 
crops of long, tapered ears, with long, 
dark green husks and considerable resis- 
tance to ear worms. The kernels are deeper 
and narrower than those of Golden Cross 
Bantam and a little lighter in color.

CUCUMBER 
Peoria 
PEORIA. White. A high quality, late hy- 
brid developed by asGrow. The plants are 
very tall and vigorous, almost suckerless, 
highly resistant to wilt. The large ears, 
borne high on the stalk, are long and cylin- 
drical and show consistently low earworm 
damage. A very heavy yielder, with ears 
holding unusually long at prime picking 
stage.

Left: Ashley 
Right: Stono 
ASHLEY. New. A downy mildew-resistant variety of Marketer 
type, maturing several days earlier, developed at the Clemson 
Station, Charleston, S.C. Resembles Marketer in size, shape, 
and color of fruit, though not so vigorous in vine growth. 
Cooperative trials rate both Ashley and Stono superior to 
Santee and Palmetto. 
STONO. New. Another downy mildew-resistant variety from 
the Clemson Station, resembling Ashley, though not quite so 
early and somewhat lighter in color. Vines more vigorous 
and some what higher yielding. Local conditions will probably 
determine which of these is more desirable.
