A. & GC: 6S 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.

Lf H 60 days. During the past 40 years, 
Burrell Ss Earliest of All 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 Earliest 
of All never turns red and has now become the most popular variety 
for pickling in the South.
