Cucumber, 'Sweet Marketmore'

(Cucumis sativus) Another selection out of the venerable Marketmore lineage, “Sweet” was recommended to us by commercial grower and seedsman Bill Reynolds of Eel River Produce in northern California. Likely just a refined strain of the classic “76”, Bill found these to be more vigorous, tolerant to adverse conditions, and productive than other strains, without compromising the straight, high quality cukes that have made “Marketmore’ a household name among gardeners. Good disease resistance.
