CUBIT. (42 days.) The plants are very prolific; the 
smooth fruits are dark green color, and average about 
9 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 va- 
riety. Attractive appearing, high quality, early ma- 
turing, and good shipping and keeping variety.

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 fungicide 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 with dark green color.

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 straight, average about eight inches long, uniform 
in size, shape and color, making it an ideal packing and 
shipping type. Recommended for late fall planting in 
Packing Marketer (Early Green Market) Cucumbers on a farm in the Plant City section

Florida, not 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 prolific, producing a heavy crop 
of fancy fruits, and are very early. Fruits average 8 
inches in length and are smooth, cylindrical in shape, 
medium green in color, and very uniform in size, shape 
and color. This strain is especially well suited for fall 
and early spring planting in Florida, but is not desir- 
able for late spring.

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

PALMETTO (Mildew Resistant). (50 days.) Developed 
by Dr. W. ©. Barnes of the Clemson College Truck Ex- 
periment Station, Charleston, S. C., from a cross of 
Puerto Rico 40 and Cubit in order to develop a good 
market type possessing the downy mildew resistance 
of the Puerto Rico 40. This variety produces vigorous 
vine growth, and is highly resistant to downy mildew, 
the most serious cucumber disease of the south. Pal- 
metto will survive and produce a good crop, when other 
varieties may go down with mildew under cool, wet 
weather conditions.
