Marketmore 76 Cucumber Seeds

Marketmore 76 is a very popular open pollinated cucumbervariety that is highly resistant to many cucumber diseases (including Scab, Cucumber Mosaic Virus, and both Downy and Powdery Mildew).

Since 1970 the slender, refined "Marketmore look" has been the standard for slicing cucumbers. The Marketmore 76 produces straight, 8-9in long cucumbers with smooth, dark green skin. This cucumber is an excellent slicer in salads and for other fresh uses. They can be either grown on the ground, or on a cage or trellis. Harvest is in about 68 days from planting.

Organically grown in Colorado
