| While the name is unfortunate, General Lee is a highly productive cuke with good qualities and disease resistance. Good firmness and flavor, it even makes a decent pickle. Grew 4 plants over an arching wire trellis in a 4\'x4\' and had more cukes than I could deal with. |

| I have raised this cucumber for several years both in the KS heat (100+) and the more milder PA summers. It always produces lots of straight and very good eating cucumbers and is very hearty. |
