Need seeds of a cucumber that I got in trade a few years back. They were marked
experimental slicing cucumber. They are the best and I can't find anymore of them. I know I had some but they are not anywhere I have searched.

Hope this helps. :)
Molly,
It isn't on their site so I emailed them but haven't heard back yet. Thanks
Oh good. I hope they still offer them or know where you can get them. :)
Did you hear back from R.H. Shumway's yet?
Nope sure didn't

On this person's link they received the seeds free from R.H. Shumway's in 2008 because they were experimental. So I guess Shumway's is going to be the only place to find them. I sent them an email to see if they will respond to me. :)
I got a response from Shumway's and they have your tomato. Here is the response I received.
Good Afternoon:
I believe the cucumber was the Marketer - item 02129 on page 25 of the current catalog.
Thank you for your interest.

A customer has a question about: Early Bird Garden Cucumber Customer name: Tami Smith Customer's message: On or about 2008 you offered Early Bird Garden Cucumber seeds. Do you still carry these? If not do you know where I can find them? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Tami :)
Molly it sounds like the right cucumber but the only problem now is they want $4.00 postage. Thank you for looking for me.
Marketer was developed back in 1943. Are you sure this is the same cucumber?
No I'm not sure at all. I do wish I could find the exact one.
