Relatively new introduction with outstanding disease resistance package. Note: gynoecious, which means it produces only female flowers ... on the one hand, you get many more fruits ... but only if you have another variety of non-gynoecious, non-parthenocarpic cuke around to offer the male pollen--such as General Lee, Marketmore, or one of our pickling cukes. *If we run short of Bristol plants, we will pack 'Gateway' in your order. It's a new variety from Johnnys that packs the same punch as Bristol, but with even more Downy Mildew resistance.
