"Hybrid Cucumber. 50 days (pickles) or 57 days (salads). A most unusual and versatile cucumber, with a distinctive square shape. These pickles won't roll off your plate at the picnic! The fruits are a beautiful dark green with thin skins and a sweet, mild flavor. The small ones (up to 4"" long) make wonderful pickles sweet, sour or dill. Or let them get 5 to 7 inches long for salads and slicing. It s an all-female hybrid so the yields are very high. Seeds of a pollinator are also included. Plants have multiple virus resistance. Burpee Exclusive. Sun."

There are better cukes!,
February 24, 2009 Submitted bybstnh1 from Southern New Hampshire
"Simply stated, there are better cucumbers - for eating and for pickling. The seeds in these are rather large for pickles. Better stick with a true pickling cuke if you want pickles and stay with a slicer if that's what you want. This may be dual purpose, but like a lot of other dual purpose things, it does neither well."

cuke,
January 22, 2009 Submitted byKrawz from Oakland County, MI
"Plants were prolific in the early summer, then less so later. First crop was good in taste and size . . . as the summer went by, they tended to develop into large seeded and thicker skinned fruits. None looked like the four sided examples shown in the catalog. There are better varieties out there to try. A positive note, this variety did not turn into the little yellow balls that other varieties can become."

Tasty,
November 3, 2008 Submitted byCookD from Atlantic City, NJ
"The first planting only produced one plant. The second planting did much better. We got about 6 plants and enough cukes for 8 pints of dill pickles and many more for salad. I will be planting more next year."

Nothing at all,
October 23, 2008 Submitted byBirdie from Central Texas
"Nothing came of these. Perhaps I did something wrong, or maybe it was the field mice, but the seeds never even germinated. I'll try again next year."

Quite a performer!,
July 30, 2008 Submitted byMainer from Brunswick, Maine
"I first tried growing these cukes last summer and they did not do well at all -- they came out like spheres for some reason. I tried again this summer and am very pleased with their yield and performance. While mine are not really "square" in shape as in Burpee's photo, they are super tasty and perfect for my bread and butter pickles. I get a few everyday and am almost ready for my second batch of pickles. I will definitely plant them again for my 2009 garden."

Delicious, easy-to-grow cuke!,
March 30, 2008 Submitted bySoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH
"I bought these seeds in July of last year (2007) on impulse and planted them without any real expectation of production, given the lateness of the season, and the unusually hot and dry conditions we had. To my surprise -- and delight -- these cukes grew fast and happily. They were, indeed, square, and delicious. Sweet and crispy, they kept in fridge much better than expected. I'm planting them again this year (on time!) and am looking forward to a great crop (although, my little experiment from last year did give me the idea to do a subsequent successive planting, so I'll have more cukes longer!)"

"The dual purpose cukes are great, both for raw eating, making dill spears, dill chips and whole gherkin size, depending on when you pick them.
All but one seed I planted grew to full maturity! Fruits were tasty, so tasty in fact, that more than half our yield was eaten before I had an opportunity to pickle them! Cukes retained their crunch after pickling, and raw fruits kept well. We grew them on small trellises, which worked out well."

"These cucumbers are the best thing in the garden this summer. The plants produce amazing amounts of fruit, are not bothered by mildew and are never bitter. The cucumbers make wonderful pickles (bread and butter and sweet relish) and are excellent in salads and other recipes calling for raw cucumbers. Excellent product by an excellent company!"

"This was the best cuke I have raised so far. The yeald was very high, and the taste was great. I raised the Picklebush also, but the yeald and taste of the Double Feature was better. I would recomend this variety to anyone. The only negative-- The vines died quite a while before frost. I am going to plant an early and later planting next time."

"I planted about four seeds on each end of my trellis and they have gone wild. These few vines have covered a 6'x8' trellis and I am harvesting 3-6 per day from a semi-shaded location. They are even shrugging off triple digit Houston heat in early June. My wife thought the taste was a bit bland, so I only rated them a 4 on taste."
