Product Description

Very heavy yields
Small seed cavity
All-America Selections winner

Generations of gardeners have loved Straight Eight Slicing Cucumber for its productivity and quality fruits. An All-America Selections winner from 1935, Straight Eight bears very heavy yields of dark green, perfectly straight, 8 in. fruits that are 2 ½ in. across. The uniform fruits have a small seed cavity and crisp, fine-grained flesh. They're tops for eating fresh and cut up into salads. Cucumber seeds can be started indoors and transplanted to the garden or directly sown in the garden. While some gardeners grow them in hills, others plant them near a fence or trellis and allow the vines to climb. 65 DAYS.
