A sweet flavored variety that is ideal to use in salads or relishes. 65 to 70 days till maturity. Special Directions for Short Season Climates SOWING: For early plants start indoors in pots. Or seed directly into garden after all danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. SPACING: In rows, leave 8 inches between plants; space rows 3 feet apart. Or place 6 to 8 seeds in hills that are spaced 4 to 5 feet apart. GERMINATION: Approx. one week in 70 degrees F temperatures; up to 2 weeks in cooler weather. Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Ed's Special Advice Rich, well-drained soil is best for cucumbers. Excellent soil additive: processed manure or compost. Harvest when golf ball size for best texture and flavor, when fruit is paler and not as bright yellow as pictured on front of packet. Return to:  Seed Rack   Visual Seed Rack
