Burpee’s Fancy Cucumbers

supply fruits for summer use, and a second sowing in late June or early July 
to furnish Cucumbers for fall use. Pickling Cucumbers usually are sown 
during midsummer. One oz. of seed plants 100 hills, and 1 lb. of seed is 
needed to plant one acre. Most varieties mature in about 50 to 60 days 
after sowing; London or Improved Long Green needs 70 days and White 
India Gherkin 80 days.
