Revised! HS-810, a 7-page illustrated fact sheet by Nicole L. Shaw and Daniel J. Cantliffe, describes this cucumber that is similar to Dutch-type cucumbers, with shorter fruit, less susceptibility to damage, and potentially higher yields — production methods, cultivar evaluation, powdery mildew resistance, and snack-size type cultivars.
