It's listed as monoecious rather than parthenocarpic. Monoecious plants will produce male and female flowers. Gynoecious varieties produce only female flowers and are usually sold with a percentage of a monoecious variety as a pollen source (the seeds of the pollenizer may be dyed so as to mark them). "Sweet Success" is a cucumber that is parthenocarpic and will form seedless fruit when grown in isolation. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
