Better and More Popular Than Ever. 
All days. During the past forty years we 
DUrrull S [-aril6ST OT /AII have produced more cucumber seed than any 
- other grower selling direct to planters. Bur¬ 
rell’s Earliest of All is of our own introduction and the past few years we have 
sold more pounds of this variety than any other we grow. 
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 unexcelled. 
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. 
I , 
For Pickling.—Ordinary pickling varieties which are of the black spined 
type sometimes are not desirable for use in the south because the pickles are 
inclined to turn red. Burrell’s Earliest of All never turns red and has now 
become the most popular variety for pickling in the south. Makes excellent 
small and large pickles. 
To Market Growers who plant to ship as slicers: Plant this sort exten¬ 
sively 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.

65 days. This variety has created a sensation with market 
vOlUrdaO growers due to its very dark green color and desirable shape 
for shipping. Color is carried well around the tip or blossom 
end of the fruit and it is not inclined to have the light color stripes. Fruits 
about 10 inches in length, straight, and symmetrical. A real money maker 
for the market grower and fully deserves being one of the “All America’’ 
winners. Vines vigorous, bears bountifully. A shy seeding sort and the price 
higher than many others for this reason.
