Narrative
Fruit 8.3 inches long, straight, blunt end, dark green. Flesh moderately thick, crisp, sweet, slicer. Resistant to scab and mosaic. Breeder: Canada Department of Agr. Research Branch, Ottawa Research Sta., Ottawa. Parentage: Highmoor x Niagara. Characteristics: good dark color that holds well. Resistance: scab, cucumber mosaic virus. Adaptation: areas where scab is prevalent. Canada J. Plant Science, 1965. Fruit: Dark green color that holds well, even on the shelf; inconspicuous blossom-end stripes and no stippling; straight and blunt-ended, average length 8.3 in., flesh moderately thick, firm, crisp and sweet. Maturity: Ealier than most mosaic-resistant table cucumbers but 4 to 6 days later than Marketer. Yielding ability: Comparable to Marketer and other standards in a disease-free season, but when scab or mosaic are severe, it outyields Marketer and other susuceptible varieties by 75 to 100 bu per acre. Adaptability: Highly rated by home and market gardeners in the Ottawa, Ont. and Frredericton, N.B., areas. It performs best on well-drained, fertile, loams.

Description:
Armour is the first Canadian table cucumber with combined resistance to cucumber scab or spot rot and cucumber moasic virus. It was developed at the Research Station, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, to meet the need for a resistant variety in Eastern Canada, where in many areas cucumber scab can be serious every year. As Ottawa 1, it was tested for 4 years in the Ottawa Valley adn at six locations in the Maratime Provinces.True-breeding variety selected from Scab Resistant 'Highmoor' backcrossed three times to mosaic resistant 'Niagra'. The original cross was made in 1957. In its development, screening for resistance to both diseases was done in the seedling stage. In the final year, plants and fruits in different stages were inoculated and found resistant to one Ottawa isolate and to three Naritime Province isolates of Cladosporium cucumerinum Ell. & Arth. In the latter tests, the epidermis of the fruit was not penetrated by the fungus. The variety was found resistant to both Ottawa and Harrow isolates of cucumber mosaic virus.
