Overview
County Fair, a hybrid from the University of Wisconsin, stands out as one of the few cucumbers with genetic resistance to bacterial wilt, the beetle-spread disease that can wipe out a planting in days. It is a compact gynoecious type used for both slicing and pickling, nearly seedless when isolated from other cucumbers, with blocky, uniform fruit best picked at 3 to 5 inches for dill or bread-and-butter pickles. It also tolerates CMV, powdery mildew, anthracnose and angular leaf spot. Sow an inch deep after frost, into fertile soil that is warm and drains well. A strong pick where wilt has taken out earlier plantings. About 52 days.
