Plants included:

Marketmore 76 Slicing Cucumber

Long, slender, dark green cucumbers. Since 1970 the slender, refined "Marketmore look" has been the standard for slicing cucumbers in the North. 8-9" fruits stay uniformly dark green even under weather stress. Begins bearing late, but picks for a relatively long time.
