Introduced in 1935 and an All-America Selections winner, this proven cultivar thrives in full sun or partial shade and produces high yields of uniform 8 inch cucumbers with excellent flavor and consistent quality. As a monoecious plant, it relies on bees, insects, or wind to pollinate its female flowers, which makes it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
