Selected from Chicago Pickling by J. C. Snow of the famous Snow Pickle Farm in Rockford, IL. Listed circa 1905 by Vaughan Seed House of Chicago. Once a very popular small pickle, can still be used to make fancy pickles today.
 
They have a nice sweet crunch to them and, although they are great for salads, they were developed to be used primarily for pickling. Considered one of the absolute best cucumbers for pickling since its introduction over 100 years ago – this thin fleshed variety produces high yields of 5” crispy cukes perfect for brining or eating straight off the vine!
