— My garden is rather small 
and we like cucumbers to eat, for salad 
and bread and butter pickles. But, the 
vines, if allowed to run over the ground, 
take up too much room ina small garden, so I 
planted a pkt. of the Burpee Hybrid Cucumber 
seed on top of my compost heap and let the vines 
climb up an old rose arbor 7 ft. high. I have had a 
garden for 25 years and I have never seen cucumbers 
so plentiful. I dare say we picked over 500 cucumbers 
from the first of July until frost killed the vines... .”

NOTE: Care should be used in picking cucumbers so as not to injure 
the vines. Do not yank or pull them off the plant; fruits should 
be cut from the plants with a. small part of the stem attached. 
ya Be 
Burpee Hybrid Cucumber (foreground) has such high resistance to mosaic and downy mildew that it outyields the 
standard varieties (in background) because the vines continue to produce for a long time after others have ceased.
