| I really enjoyed these. They were nonbitter and had a good yield. My family\'s second favorite cucumber this year. My customers also enjoyed them. No cucumber beetle issues to speak of either. |

| Very nice cucumber. All purpose and reliable. Vigorous. Doesn\'t store well. They look bad after a few hours at farmers\' market but some ice water brings them back. |

| This variety lacks the sweetness of the pickling cucumbers or the Armenian. I thought it would be close to an Armenian with the name, but this one is just not near them. The fruit skins look damaged and could not be marketable, though the Calypso fruit in the same bed have been 98% perfect. They have hardly any flavor compared to the other cucumbers we are growing this season. I do not plan to grow them again. |

| This is a excellent eating/Slicing cucumber, which is burpless, a smooth spineless fruit, and very productive. I harvested mine when they were 4 to 5 inches long. This cuucumber has been added to my must grow list. |
