253 AandC #% 
Unusually attractive; shipping type (62 days) 
The beautiful, straight, cylindrical fruits are about 10 in. long 
and 2% in. thick, well rounded at the ends, and dark green over 
all. This dense green color remains long after picking, making 
the fruits especially suitable for delayed use. A relatively new 
variety, A and C has quickly assumed a leading position because 
it overcomes many of the faults common to ordinary cucumbers, 
particularly the undesirable flaw of sharp tapering at the stem end 
of the fruit. Vines are robust and remain productive over a long 
harvesting season.
