Very high-yielding vines feature blocky fruit that is crispy and tender-skinned. It holds its quality longer than most varieties. When harvested young, it is a top-notch selection for pickling.

Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)
In full sun, sow a few seeds over a hill 12 inches tall and 2 feet across with well-drained soil. For smaller gardens, plant alongside a fence or trellis. When plants are 2 inches tall, thin to 3 plants per hill. Plant at 3-week intervals up to midsummer for fresh cucumbers all season. Keep fruits picked.
