White spine and dark green color. Vigorous with uniform plant size. The 8” fruits are cylindrical with blunt ends. Productive vines benefit from trellising. An AAS Winner. Tolerates mosaic virus.
May be grown on a wide range of soil, but a sandy loam with pH 5.5 to 6.5 is preferred. Make first planting after last frost in spring and a second planting 3 or 4 weeks later. Plant in rows 5 feet apart and drill seed so that a final stand of one plant every 12-14 inches is obtained. Where space is limited cucumbers may be trained on fence, trellis, or poles. Two pounds of seed will plant one acre; ½ oz. per 100 ft. of row. Do not plant where vine crops (watermelons, squash, cucumbers or cantaloupes) grew the year before.
