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 about 7 inches, thickness 2% to 2% inches.

Burrell's Earliest of Al] 69 days. During the past 47 years, 
we have produced more cucum- 
ber seed than any other grower selling direct to planters. Burrell’s 
Earliest of All is our own introduction and 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 be- 
cause of earliness and quality. Ordinary pickling varieties 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.

Cubit 68 days. 1944 winner of “All-America” bronze medal. 
Vine growth vigorous and plants prolific; bears fruits 
about the size of Straight-8 but average more blunt at the ends 
giving it somewhat the appearance of Deltus and having thick flesh 
like the Deltus. Their very deep green color and crisp texture are 
retained well in shipping and on the market.

Delfus 70 days. As far as quality and appearance are con- 
cerned 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.
