CUCUMBER—SLICING 
VARIETIES 
The two most popular main crop shipping* cucumbers. 
From Delmtar, Del. —“Your Superfecto Melons did well on the 
New York market. In fact, the best we ever had. They brought us 
$2.00 a crate while many others only brought 50c to 60c. When I 
can put in a good word for your seeds I will do so.”

r lullc the most used 
shipping cucumbers, and especially

SLICERS —Florida growers prefer 
Black Diamond (It Stays Green) 
and Burrell’s Earliest of All. These 
are favorites in all sections for ex¬ 
tra early. In Texas, Early Fortune 
is the most used variety; of this, we 
have a special strain slightly longer 
and straighter than is usual. 
Clark’s Special is rapidly taking the 
place of other varieties of its type 
because of its handsome appearance 
and unrivaled shipping qualities. 
Those desiring very long slicers 
will find Extra Early Evergreen a 
good, early sort; Deltus and Long¬ 
fellow excellent for main crop. The 
two latter varieties may be used for 
greenhouse culture also. Greenbac 
is well worth trying; while not as 
hardy as some you will find it a 
money-maker under good growing 
conditions. 
PICKLING VARIETIES — Bur¬ 
rell’s Earliest of All is a favorite 
sort with southern picklers. It 
withstands the heat well, and does 
not turn yellow; produces very sat¬ 
isfactory small pickles, and as a 
dill is crisp and free from bloaters. 
Burrell’s Pickling is one of the most 
abundant yielders, remarkably free 
from nubs and crooks. National 
Pickling and Snow’s Pickling are 
used for small bottle pickles. Short 
green and Boston Pickling are the 
most popular sorts in the east.
