The ‘Marketmore’ series has long been a standard for disease resistance in cucumber. ‘Boothby's Blonde’ is a cucumber heirloom praised by growers for its distinctive appearance, earliness, and eating qualities but is highly susceptible to fungal

No bactericides were used on any test trees or at any locations, to maximize bacterial spot expression. Trees appeared to be highly resistant to bacterial spot disease
. However, ‘Fry’ is susceptible to many fungal diseases, is low in vigor, and susceptible to cold injury. ‘Southland’ is self-fertile (perfect hermaphroditic) and produces medium-sized dark purple fruit. Because of its high sugar content, excellent flavor
