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.
