There are three general classes of cucumbers according to their uses: the small pickle, the dill type, and the 
long, slicing varieties. 
National Pickling is a standard small pickle variety. 
If you prefer early pickles, Mincu 
will produce them. Early White Spine produces those dark green, medium length, blocky cucumbers suitable for 
dill pickles. 
We would call your special attention to Highmoor. 
Developed at the Maine Agricultural Station as a scab 
resistant variety. We believe Highmoor will take the place of other slicing varieties even in areas where cucumber 
scab is not a factor. 
We have tested it for two years and now have a limited amount of seed to offer. 
Highmoor . 
is very attractive and has yielded heavier than Marketer or AWC in our trials. 
DDT should not be used on cucumbers. 
Cucumber beetles can be controlled with Rotenone Dust.

In the Summer of 1946, Gordon Jones, who is in charge of the 
Seed Farm trial grounds, called our attention to a new cucumber 
called Highmoor. It looked so good that we secured stock seed 
and grew a limited acreage for seed this past year. We believe it 
is a variety with a future and that you should try it either commer- 
cially or in your garden.
