Burpee’s CUCUMBERS 
May be harvested at almost any size depending on what purpose 
the fruits are intended. Different sizes may be picked at the same 
time, small ones for sweet pickles, larger ones for bread and butter 
pickles, slicing or dill pickles. Many gardeners prefer to plant the 
larger fruited varieties for table use and the so-called pickling types 



and gherkins for relishes or pickles. If you have had poor success 
with cucumbers in the past, plant Burpee Hybrid this year. Letters 
from customers all over the country acclaim it as outstanding for 
yield, quality, color and disease resistance; many tell us we are too 
modest in our description. It is a top-notcher.
