“Early Surecrop” HYBRID 
The Early and Late Cucumber 
60 days. Here at last is an all-purpose Cuke that comes into 
bearing early, stays on in perfect condition very late, and is good 
for pickling and slicing. It is the best new cucumber in over a 
decade and the only one ever to get an All-America Award. Its 
8”, deep green, blunt-ended fruits have a very small seed cavity.
