Sweet and productive, good-looking fruits with firm flesh. Good keeper. Bred for downy mildew resistance and striped cucumber beetle resistance.  They prefer a loose, warm, sandy loam and do not do well in peat or heavy clay.  Maintain an even supply of water through pollination and early fruit set.
 
Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep, 2-3 seeds per pot.  Germinate at 85-90 degrees, then maintain 75 degrees. Do not over-water.  Harden off before transplanting.
