| Very productive and resistant to diseases in my area. Flavor is slightly better than other modern disease resistant cultivars I\'ve tried, but still rather bland.

| My favorite standard cucumber. Have grown them for years. Keep them watered and they will produce great slicing cucumbers. Can also be used for pickling and make great dills. Very reliable for me.

| They are definitely delicious, very little seeds inside. They were doing so good in the beginning. Then cucumber beetles! Beautiful yellow bugs with black strips. I don’t want to use any chemicals, so I sprayed water mix with hot chilly pepper powder. Yield would be a lot, but then they started to eat leaves and flowers, baby cucumber were like kind a pale yellowish greenish. I saw even orange sticky glue like juice on the surface of some baby cucumber and cut of the steams. Before that I got some normal size cucumber. My fear, I think they like zucchini and watermelon, too!!! I don’t know what to do against cucumber beetles for next year without using chemical pest control stuff. But I definitely try next year again.
I bought the seeds from a store, brand is Liberty Garden.
the difference between (sweet) marketmore and marketmore 76 : marketmore has darker green skin and if I say its taste goes to sweet side, marketmore 76's taste goes to bitter side. I preffer marketmore.
They both very crispy, small seeded, and slim. |

| I have grown these for several years. They have always been good producers. They are subject to few diseases and pests. I had so many last year I made garlic dills with them. Although not characterized as being a pickling cuke, they made good dills. |

| My most productive cucumber that produces throughout the season. Tough plants, not especially prone to disease or insect problems. Mine usually outrun it. |

| The most prolific variety over a long season. Big vines, they send down more roots as they spread, staying ahead of the cucumber beetles. Large, dark green fruit like you see in the supermarket. |

| Produced well for only a short time. Every time I've grown them, they have succumbed to bacterial wilt early in the season, and I am very diligent about controlling beetles. |
