Slicing varieties 
Fang varnies Foes 36 Cucumber 
A. & Cc: 68 days. Also known as Ace. A very fine dark green 
Slicing variety that is becoming quite popular with 
shippers. Its outstanding value is the very dark green color which 
it retains well on the market. Color is carried well around the 
blossom end of the fruits and the light color stripes are practically 
eliminated. Fruits vary in length but average about 10 inches, 
straight and symmetrical. Recommended to experienced cucumber 
growers with the best of soil only, as under unfavorable conditions 
it sometimes does not perform as well as the older standard shipping 
sorts. White spined.

Black Diamond Dark Green Tipped‘ St2vs Green) 
: 60 days. Our new 
stock of this carries its dark green color around the blossom end. 
Light colored stripes are practically eliminated. An early slicing 
sort, very popular in the south, especially in Florida, splendid for 
shipping. Fruits rich, deep green and retain their color for a long 
time, white spined. Size and shape much the same as Burrell’s 
Earliest of All, but tapers more to the blossom end, rounded at both 
ends. Length 7 to 8 inches, thickness 2% to 2% inches.

Burrell's Klondike 63 days. One of our own introductions, 
outstanding in uniformity. It is desir- 
able for shipping as well as being used extensively by picklers in 
the central states. Vigorous grower, yields abundantly, color medium 
dark green, not as dark as our Earliest of All, and may be used by 
those preferring a lighter color pickle or slicer; white spined slicers 
8 inches long. 2% inches thick, cylindrical.

Boneens Larliestof. All, £° 8#%*- During the past £0 years, 
we have produced more cucumber 
seed than any other grower selling direct to planters. Burrell’s 
Earliest 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 Harliest 
of All never turns red and has now become the most popular variety 
for pickling in the South. 
(PkKt., 10c) (0z., 20c) (% Ib., 55e) (Cib., $1.65) (5 Ibs., $7.25) prepaid 
' 68 days. This variety “has created a sensation with 
Colorado 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.

(Pkt., 10c) (0z., 20c) (%4 Ib., 55ce) (lb., $1.65) (5 Ibs., $7.25) prepaid 
Deltus 70 days. Also known as the Barteldes and was an “All 
America” winner under this name. As far as quality and 
appearance are corcerned no better slicer has yet been introduced. 
Fruits are smooth, free from warts, very few spines, there is no 
darker green sort, and none that retains its color longer. Few 
seeds, slow to form. Thick ivory white flesh, free of bitterness; fruits 
cylindrical in shape with ends rounded. Many hothouse growers say 
it is the best they have grown, and they plant Deltus exclusively. 
Length 10-12 inches as slicer, thickness 3 inches, white spine; brings 
top market prices.
