58-70 days.  My favourite in the garden, this unusual cucumber is very productive and looks like a large lemon. From 1894 Australia they have an excellent sweet crunchy cucumber with a thin skin, are easy to digest and popular with gourmet chefs.  Yellow when mature, some prefer them while still young and pale green.  For fresh eating or pickling, wonderful in a salad.  Rust resistant and fairly drought tolerant.

This ancient variety comes from the birthplace of cucumbers. Cucumbers originated high in the Himalaya Mountains and have been recorded back to at least 200 BC. The Poona Kheera from India is 6” long and 3” in diameter with white flesh and thin skin. As it matures the skin turns a russet crackly brown while remaining very crisp and full of flavour. 

This heirloom of Russian lineage likes the cold. A very productive small bushy plant. Seed Savers reports the first 5” by 2” fruits arriving in record time. This dependable plant  will provide you with many dark green cukes with firm light green to white flesh, great in salads and for pickling, an outstanding dill pickle. Good for short season area plus is able to withstand non-seasonal weather and still produce well.

58 days.  Introduced in 1893 when W. Atlee Burpee of Philadelphia received seeds from a customer from western New York.  This pure white 5-7” long cucumber is very productive and ivory-white at maturity and ivory-yellow when past.  Delicious sliced or pickled.  Handles heat very well.
