MAULE’S SHAMROCK CUCUMBER. 
xr Maule’s Shamrock Cucumber 
There are many varieties of White Spine Cucumber for which has been claimed the characteristic of being always 
ereen; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator of Shamrock has this to say: “Some years ago 
growing two acres of cucumbers for pickles, I found three cucumbers that were green while the rest were yellow. I cut 
these three cucumbers and found them dead ripe. I saved the seed and planted it the next year by itself, growing some 
for pickling, and found it O. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the 
seed again from a green cucumber with a perfect result. The cucumber is dark green, good shape, about like Jersey 
Pickle, turns light green when dead ripe. It is a good table cucumber and is the best for all market gardeners.
