Default White Wonder Cucumber

Michele,
IHO, I find Boothby's Blonde much more preferable than White Wonder or Snow's Fancy Pickling in terms of flavor, yield and productivity, disease resistance and length of bearing season.

The BB just keeps pumping out dozens of tasty cukes all season long till frost while the other two sort of fizzle out in about a month. Boothby's Blonde also makes delicious, crunchy garlic dills made in a crock or as bread & butter pickles made right in the jar. When large, they (BB) also make great breaded deep fried cukes like you do with zucchinis.
Hope this info helps,
Bill Malin
