I use the Country Fair Hybrid, which sells on the Territorial Seeds
website. It is short, fat, with firm flesh, I would not call the seeds
extremely small, though they are small. It is designated as a pickling
cuke but we find it very good sliced. It is better than those I used to
buy as plants around here. I am sure they have also other varieties of
the short, fat persuasion. They are very good at serving the northern
gardener.
