70 days โ€” Bred by Dr. Henry M. Munger of Cornell University and released in 1976. The fruit are dark green in color and best harvested for slicing when they are eight to nine inches long. They have a sweet mild flavor and are very disease resistant (downy mildew, powdery mildew, scab, cucumber mosaic virus). Does well in cool climates.

During our 2003 growing season we had some extremely hot (100ยบF) and dry weather here in Oregon. The cucumber in the picture was picked in the midst of our heat wave and was not bitter at all. It remained of excellent flavor. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 25 to 30 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Cucumbers grow best with long, hot, humid days with maximum sunshine and warm nights. Plants are extremely susceptible to frost. Sow seeds outside only after danger of frost when soil has warmed. Make a second sowing 4 to 5 weeks later for a late summer or early fall harvest. For an earlier harvest and to reduce the threat of insect damage to seedlings, start a few plants indoors in individual pots (or trays with separate compartments) about a month before your last spring frost date.

Sowing: To seed in rows, plant seeds 1 inch deep and about 6 inches apart. To plant in hills, plant four or five seeds in 1-foot-diameter circles set 5 to 6 feet apart.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… The most productive cucumber I have ever grown.
By Gary Koblich on February 24, 2019

Marketmore 76 cucumbers have been, by far, the most productive and longest producing cukes I have ever grown. I didn't have many disease problems either.
