| Excellent mild, burpless, tender but crunchy variety. Has a great hard to describe crispness we find irresistible! Have grown it for three yrs on a bamboo teepee and the cukes grow long and straight with very good yields. Poorer conditions one yr still gave a smaller but fine quality crop. Visitors (esp. other gardeners) always rave about them! Highly recommended! |

| Doesn't appear to get too fat or seedy. Wonderful all around eating cucumber. Even made bread and butter pickles with it. |
