Burrell's Earliest of All—The Best for Both Slicing 
and Pickles 
CUCUMBERS -VARIETIES 
The cucumber seed crop for 1935 planting' is the shortest in 40 years. 
The number of days indicated is the average time required 
from planting of seed to developed fruits of the first slicing 
stage. We have done this for the sake of uniformity in mak¬ 
ing comparison. The time should be reduced several days for 
small pickles and slightly increased for full grown fruits. 
Black spine varieties turn red or yellow when ripe and white 
spine varieties turn white when ripe. 
See pages 35 and 20 for pickling varieties.

Burrell’s Earliest of All Cucumber, Best All Purpose 
You know for more than 
thirty years we have been 
growing cucumber seeds and all this time we have been carefully 
selecting to produce The Best. By holding closely to a high ideal we 
have established this type until it is recognized as the best in its 
class. 
Color.—Very dark green and remaining green until almost fully 
ripened, when it becomes a greenish-white. 
Size.- — As a slicer about seven inches long—very uniform and 
square ended—a beautiful cucumber. 
The flesh is pearly white, crisp, and the quality as a slicer un¬ 
excelled. 
Earliness.—In a check with all varieties, Burrell’s Earliest of 
All has proven worthy of its name and Market Growers who find 
earliness a big item are getting big returns from this sort. 
We have grown over ten million pounds of cucumber seeds dur¬ 
ing the past thirty years and this sort has always averaged one of 
the heaviest yielders of fine slicing cucumbers. 
For Pickling.—The small pickles are excellent for bottle goods 
and the larger ones either for sour pickles or Dills. 
To Market Growers who plant to ship as slicers: Plant this sort 
extensively if extreme earliness and the qualities listed above are 
what you want. No matter what sort you have been planting, plant 
part of your acreage to this and compare results.
