The number of days indicated is the average time required from planting 
of seed to developed fruits of the first slicing stage. We have done this for 
the sake of uniformity in making comparison. The time should be reduced 
several days for small pickles and slightly increased for full grown fruits. 
Black spine varieties turn red or yellow when ripe and white spine varieties 
turn white when ripe. 
C 65 days. Also known 
■ as Ace. A very fine 
““ dark green slicing 
variety that is becoming quite 
popular with shippers. Its out¬ 
standing value is the very dark 
green color which it retains well 
on the market. Color is carried 
well around the blossom end of 
the fruits and the light color 
stripes are practically eliminated. 
Fruits vary in length but average 
about 10 inches,- straight and 
symmetrical. Recommended to 
experienced cucumber growers 
with the best of soil only, as un¬ 
der unfavorable conditions it 
sometimes does not perform as 
well as the older standard ship¬ 
ping sorts. Similar to Colorado.
