62 Cucumber Main Uses Days 
WHITE WONDER (White Spine) H 58 
A distinct variety grown mostly for its novel, pure white color, although it also has 
good edible qualities. A rapid grower. 
FRUIT—7 inches long and 2% inches in diameter, block shape with rounded ends, 
pure white at all stages. 
WISCONSIN SMR 12 (Scab and Mosaic Resistant) (Black Spine) C 62 
A new variety from Dr. J. C. Walker of the University of Wisconsin, bred for multiple 
disease resistance. Shape is approximately the same as National Pickling. There have 
been reports that it loses its color rather quickly and that salt stock does not remain 
firm as well as some other varieties. 
FRUIT—6 inches long and 2% inches in diameter, approximately the same shape as 
National Pickling. Medium green. Somewhat variable. 
WISCONSIN SR 6 (Seab Resistant) (Black Spine) C 60 
A recent development by Dr. J. C. Walker of the University of Wisconsin, that is now 
being very extensively planted. This variety is probably responsible for saving the 
pickling industry in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan, where scab or spot rot caused 
near total crop losses for several years in a row. SR 6 is an extremely vigorous variety, 
and a very good yielder. 
FRUIT—-6 inches long, 2% to 3 inches in diameter, very blocky and blunt ended. Quite 
uniform in size and shape. Medium green color. 
HYBRID 
Hybrid cucumbers are widely reported to show advantages in early vigor, production, 
uniformity, and sometimes disease resistance. Their current widespread use by market 
gardeners is good evidence that they are superior and well worth the difference in the 
cost of the seed. 
EARLY SURECROP HYBRID (White Spine) HMS 60 
A true F, hybrid, noted for its extreme vigor, high productivity, and the uniformity of 
its fruit. An excellent slicer, with some resistance to both mosaic and downy mildew. 
FRUIT—8 inches long, 2/4 to 2% inches in diameter, with some taper at the ends, but 
blockier than Marketer. Very dark green and attractive, with small seed cavity.
