CUBIT. (42 days.) Cubit is a very popular variety of cucum- 
ber because of its outstanding good qualities. The plants are 
very prolific; the smooth fruits are dark green color, and aver- 
age about 81% 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 shaped cucumber 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.

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.

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.

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.

STAYS GREEN (Pickle Type). (40 days.) This variety should 
be grown only for pickles, not for a slicing or as a fresh mar- 
ket cucumber. It is very early and exceedingly productive of 
short, dark green, warty cucumbers most desirable for dill 
pickles,

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 highly resistant to downy mildew, the 
most serious cucumber disease of the south. Palmetto will 
survive and produce a good crop, whereas other varieties may 
go down with mildew under cool, wet weather conditions.
