Burrell’s Earliest of All ©.9¥8. During the past 40 years, 
we have produced more eucumber 
seed than any other grower selling direct to planters. 'Burrell’s 
Harliest of All is our own introduction and for several years we 
have sold more pounds of this variety than any other we grow. 
Fruits dark green, uniform, square ended; about 7 inches long as a 
Slicer. Flesh pearly white and crisp. Gained its popularity with 
shippers because of earliness and quality. Ordinary pickling varie- 
ties of the black spine type are often undesirable 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.

market 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. White spined.
