A second planting in early summer is recommended for fall harvest. For best flavor pick fruits when 6 to 8 inches long. May be grown on stakes or a trellis for best results where space is limited.

This cucumber is long, cylindrical, straight, firm and smooth, with excellent uniformity. Resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Powdery and Downey Mildew and Cucumber Scab, makes this variety a reliable performer. Highly recommended for main crop harvest in the early fall.
