There are better cukes!,

"Simply stated, there are better cucumbers - for eating and for pickling. The seeds in these are rather large for pickles. Better stick with a true pickling cuke if you want pickles and stay with a slicer if that's what you want. This may be dual purpose, but like a lot of other dual purpose things, it does neither well."

"Plants were prolific in the early summer, then less so later. First crop was good in taste and size . . . as the summer went by, they tended to develop into large seeded and thicker skinned fruits. None looked like the four sided examples shown in the catalog. There are better varieties out there to try. A positive note, this variety did not turn into the little yellow balls that other varieties can become."

"The first planting only produced one plant. The second planting did much better. We got about 6 plants and enough cukes for 8 pints of dill pickles and many more for salad. I will be planting more next year."
