CUBIT (42 days.) Cubit is a very popular variety of cucum- 
ber because of its outstanding good qualities. The plants are 
very prolific, earlier than A and C and Colorado varieties. The 
smooth fruits are of dark green color, and average about 814 
inches in length, are cylindrical in shape with blunt ends, 
without any taper, and with a very small seed cavity making 
them ideally adapted for slicing. ‘They hold their color, crisp 
texture and fresh quality well in shipping and on the market. 
This variety makes the most uniformly beautiful shape cucum- 
ber of any variety. This uniformly attractive appearing, high 
quality, early maturing, and good shipping and keeping variety 
is rapidly gaining favor as it becomes better known among 
commercial cucumber growers of Florida.

A & C (KILGORE’S IMPROVED). (50 days.) We are offering 
seed of this popular variety which was produced by us from 
seed secured from the originator, and on which we have made 
special selections in an endeavor to improve this splendid strain 
still further. ‘The vigorous growing vines produce an abund- 
ance of uniform, dark green cucumbers, averaging 10 inches 
long. ‘The fruits are of uniform diameter from stem to blossom 
end, are rather slim, averaging 114 to 114 inches in diameter, 
without any bulge in the center, and with a slight taper at the 
ends. This is one of the best bred and most popular strains of 
cucumbers in existence. A heavy yielder of fancy fruits. An 
ideal variety to grow for mid-western markets where they want 
a long cucumber.

Kilgore’s Improved A & C Cucumbers 
COLORADO. (50 days.) This outstanding variety is filling 
a most important place in the growth of cucumbers in Florida 
for shipment to northern markets. It holds its intense dark 
green color and firmness for a long time in transit and on the 
markets. The fruits are of medium length, averaging from 9 
to 10 inches, and are slender, averaging about 134 inches in 
diameter, and are well filled at both ends, of exceedingly dark 
green color. Very attractive and handsome in appearance and 
an enormous yielder of extra fancy fruits.

STRAIGHT-8. (47 days.) This plant is vigorous in growth, 
very prolific and produces symmetrical, almost cylindrical 
fruits. As indicated by the name, the fruits are perfectly 
straight, averaging about eight inches long, well filled at the 
ends and when ready for harvest are smooth and dark green 
in color. Our improved strain is darker green in color than 
other strains and uniform in size, shape and color, making it 
an ideal packing and shipping type. Recommended for fall 
planting in Florida, but should not be planted for a late spring 
crop because the fruits have a tendency to be too light in 
color late in the season.

Cubit 
The most uniformly beauti- 
ful, attractive appearing cu- 
cumber ever developed 
PUERTO RICO NO. 39 (Mildew Resistant) (Special Long 
Strain). (42 days) This variety was developed by the Puerto 
Rico Agricultural Experiment station for resistance to downy 
mildew or blight. In cool, rainy weather, especially in fall, 
when other varieties go down with mildew disease, this variety 
continues to grow and produce an abundance of fruits, making 
it especially valuable as a home garden variety. Although this 
variety is highly resistant to downy mildew it is not immune, 
and should be sprayed or dusted regularly with a good fungi- 
cide like Dithane. The vines are rather compact in growth, 
hardy and very productive. As originally introduced the fruits 
of this variety were rather short, but we have selected for long 
fruits until with our special long strain the fruits will average 
about 71% inches in length, dark green in color, and fairly 
smooth or free of spines. Recommended for the Florida home 
garden and for local markets and for shipment to northern 
markets that will take a cucumber varying in length from 
7 to 8 inches.

WAUCHULA STAYS GREEN (Special Long Strain). (40 days.) 
Plants are exceedingly prolific, producing an enormous crop 
of fancy fruits, and are extremely early. Fruits average 8 
inches in length and are smooth, perfectly cylindrical in shape, 
well filled at the ends, medium green in color, and very uni- 
form in size, shape and color. ‘This strain is especially well 
suited for fall and early spring planting in Florida, but is not 
desirable for late spring.

PALMETTO (Mildew Resistant). (50 days.) This variety was 
developed by Dr. W. C. Barnes of the Clemson College Truck 
Experiment Station, Charleston, S$. C., from a cross of Puerto 
Rico 40 mildew resistant variety and Cubit in order to develop 
a good market type cucumber possessing the downy mildew 
resistance of the Puerto Rico 40. This variety produces vigor- 
ous vine growth, and is not only highly resistant to downy 
mildew, the most serious cucumber disease of the south, but 
also develops a high yield of attractive, dark green, slim fruits 
averaging about 8 inches in length and of cylindrical shape 
but slightly pointed toward the ends. Palmetto will survive 
and produce a good crop, whereas other varieties may go down 
with mildew under cool, wet weather conditions.
