Snow's Fancy Pickling Cucumber

60 days — 'Snow's Fancy Pickling' cucumber vines produce good yields of five inch long by one and one-half inch in diameter cucumbers. They have a nice sweet crunch to them and although they are great for salads, they were developed to be used primarily for pickling. Keep the cucumbers picked to encourage more fruit production throughout the season.

This variety was reportedly developed as a selection of 'Chicago Pickling' by Mr. Junius C. Snow, a pickle producer in Rockford, Illinois around the turn of the 20th Century.^[2] By 1905, Vaughan's Seed House of Chicago offered it in their catalog.^[1] It is a good choice for small pickle production. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 35 to 40 seeds.
