Twilley’s “A&C” Cucumber 
Perfected Strain 
Wicomico County, where I live, is one of the largest cucumber growing Counties in the 
United States. Here is what growers think of Twilley’s Perfected “A & C’’ Cucumber. 
LeRoy Houston said, “I planted half of a field with your seed, and the other half with seed 
from a nationally known seed house. Twilley’s “A & C” had better fruits and fewer poor 
shaped cucumbers than the other seed I used. You have a very fine strain.” 
John A. Powell, who operates three farms reported, “Twilley’s “A & C” seed came up 
better, grew better, and yielded better than seed of the same variety from other places.” 
John Aydelotte bought ‘A & C” seed from three well known seed houses, but he said, 
“Twilley’s “A & C’’ cucumber picked more fancy fruits each picking than the other seed.” 
Rayner Bros., the largest and most progressive cucumber growers in Maryland are large 
users of Twilley’s Cucumber Seed. 
How Twilley’s “A & C° Cucumber Grows 
Twilley’s "A & C’ is immensely productive. The vines are vigorous and strong growing. 
The exceedingly dark green cucumbers grow very long and slender and run nearly the same 
size from stem to blossom end, with very little bulge in the center. The fruits grow with prac- 
tically no tapering at the ends. The dark green color extends well around the blossom end, 
which is almost entirely free from any light stripes. The fruits hold their green color longer 
than any other variety. 
Twilley’s A & C”’ makes a more fancy pack than any other variety because of the espec- 
ially fine shape fruits, and sells on sight in every market. The superior qualities Oleh Once 
make it the most popular variety from Florida to New York. Be sure to buy Twilley’s “A & Gre

The “A & C” seed I bought from you produced the best cucumber crop grown in Sum- 
ter County. On 31% acres of irrigated land I produced 2,757 bushels of cucumbers, of 
which 1,738 bushels were No. 1’s and 619 bushels were No. 2’s. The vines were picked 31 
times. The fruit was the pride of the market, and the crop the heaviest in the county for 
this season.
