Cucumber SLICING VARIETIES—PICKLING VARIETIES PAGE 26 
' : 60 days. During the past 50 
Burrell s Earliest of All 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 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. 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 become the most popular variety for pickling 
in the South.

southern states as it does not produce fruits 
with reddish color. Shape somewhat more

Marketer (Early Green Market) 
68 days. Southern growers like Marketer be- 
cause of its vigorous vine and ability to stand 
intense heat of late spring. It is extremely 
prolific, throwing an unusually large number 
of female blossoms per plant resulting in 
heavy yields. Said to be a cross of Straight 8 
and A & C. Holds its dark green color well 
and particularly admired for the neat appear- 
ance and uniformity of fruits. Closely resem- 
bles a good strain of A & C; tapering at the 
ends. A shy seeder and the price must be 
higher. (AAS)

Beginning about 1902 when D. V. Burrell discovered cucumber 
seed could be produced better here and until beginning of the 
World War II, a very large part of the cucumber seed of the U. S. 
was grown in the Rocky Ford District. Proper growing conditions, 
personnel with know-how, and suitable machinery make Rocky 
Ford grown cucumber seed the standard of comparison.
