MARKETER 65 Days 
A new very fancy slicing type for early market. Fruits 71% to 8 inches long, 
slightly tapered, very dark green, uniform, flesh thick with very small seed 
area. Vines very vigorous and prolific. 
NATIONAL PICKLING 50 Days 
A very unitorm and valuable black spined variety recommended only for the 
small pickles and small dills. Fruits straight, symmetrical, square ends, about 
6 inches long when mature.

Developed at Cornell University specifically for a slicing type cucumber with 
mosaic resistance. Large vines with a plant vigor equal to any of the hybrid 
cucumbers. Symmetrical full-ended fruits, intense deep green color with

probably yield a more desirable type of fruit.
