One of the best cucumbers for pickles, because the solid, crisp interior is perfect for 1 1/2" to 5" long pickles. Excellent disease resistance. The small cucumbers also can be sliced fresh for salads. A monoecious variety, it does not need a pollinator. 4' vines work well in small gardens and may also be grown in large containers. 55 days. 30 seeds.
