DOUBLE YIELD CUCUMBER Developed by a home gardener and introduced in 1924 by Joseph Harris & Co. of Coldwater, New York. In the words of the introducer, "The remarkable thing about this new cucumber is its wonderful productiveness. For every pickle that is cut off, two or three more are produced." Very productive pickling type. Slender fruits, 5-6" long by 2" diameter, symmetrical, smooth and uniform. 50-60 days. |
