Persian-type. A delicious, very sweet cucumber that is usually picked small and does not need peeling, as the skin is very tender. This variety is popular in the Mediterranean, having been developed in Israel at a kibbutz farm, and it is now becoming popular with Americans because of the fruit’s fine flavor and high yields. This cuke is also burpless and has great shelf life. For sheer munching crunching refreshing joy, this small Middle Eastern or “Persian” type is best when picked at 3–5″. 45-55 days.

Care: Space 2-3′ apart in all directions. Cukes need heat and well-drained soil: plant in full sun in raised beds or hills.
