New, Armenian (Cucumis melo) ($3.50)
Even though the Armenian Cuke may look and taste like a cucumber, botanically it's a variety of muskmelon. Thin skinned, light green, ribbed fruits have no bitterness, and make great pickles. Prolific output, performs best in full sun, growing to two feet and more; straight when trellised but tending to curve when grown on the ground. Most flavorful when it's 12-15" long. In middle-eastern markets the pickled Armenian is sold as "Pickled Wild Cucumber". (Also know as Snake Melon, Serpent Cucumber.)
New, National Pickling Cucumber ($3.50)
An heirloom variety developed by the National Pickle Packers Association! Prolific producer over a long season, of medium green, thin skinned, 6" cukes. Perfect for pickles and delicious for slicing into salads. The cuke that pickle growers asked for!
