Matures in 60 Days
A good pickling variety, straight and uniform. Produces an abundance of pickling cucumbers on vigorous vines. A very dark green and of excellent quality, the fruits have a slight taper at the ends. Resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Scab makes this variety a reliable performer.
SOWINGPlant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and all danger of frost is past. Make a group of 4 to 6 seeds placed in a ring about 2 inches across; cover withinch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart each way.
THINNINGWhen the plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin, leaving the 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.
GERMINATIONGerminates in 8 to 10 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
REMARKSA second planting in early summer is recommended for a fall harvest. Pick fruit often and for best flavor, do not permit them to grow too large.
