Burrell's Earliest of All Cucumber
You know for thirty years I have been growing cucumber seeds and all this time I have been carefully selecting to produce The Best. By holding closely to a high ideal I have established this type until it is recognized as best in its class. Color.-Very dark green and remaining green until almost fully ripened, when it becomes a greenish-white. Size.-As a slicer seven to eight inches long-very uniform and square ended-a beautiful cucumber. The flesh is pearly white, crisp and the quality as a slicer unexcelled. Earliness.-In a check with all varieties, Burrell's Earliest of All has proven worthy of its name and Market Growers who find earliness a big item are getting big returns from this sort. I have grown over ten million pounds of cucumber seeds during the past thirty years and this sort has always averaged one of the heaviest yielders. For Pickling.-The small pickles are excellent for bottle goods and the larger ones either for sour pickles or Dills. Large pickle packers purchase about twenty thousand pounds of seed from me each year for growing pickles. To Market Growers who plant to ship as slicers: Plant this sort extensively if extreme earliness and the qualities listed above are what you want. No matter what sort you have been planting, plant part of your acreage to this and compare results. At Williston, Florida, this sort is reported to be the most profitable the growers have planted. Planted in check test with four other leading sorts, it far outclassed them all, being earlier, darker green, and bringing more money. Price-(5c per kt.) (10c per oz.) (35c per ¼ lb.) ($1.20 per lb.) ($1.10 per lb. In 100-lb. Lots) post or express paid. 500-lb. Lots, f.o.b. Rockyford, $90.00 per 100 lbs. This seed is put up in 1-lb. Sealed cloth bags. Large growers club together and take advantage of the quantity of prices. The crop season just passed was not favorable to the production of cucumber seed, and throughout the country the crop averaged small. My stocks are extra fine and I anticipate larger sales than last spring when my spring mail order sales of cucumber seeds totaled more than one hundred thousand pounds.

Davis Perfect Cucumber
Burrell's Special Stock. This very valuable new sort was introduced in 1906, and I immediately secured from the introducer a considerable quantity of the seed. This I carefully planted and from the crop I selected the finest specimens for stock seed. I have kept up this selection each year and this year I grew a large acreage and am pleased to say I have seed of this valuable sort to offer to my customers at prices which surely merit your orders when you consider it is one of the best possible to secure. The cucumbers shown in the photo below are Davis Perfect. This cucumber is exactly the same color as Burrell's Kondike, being dark green. Length about 10 inches when suitable to ship, and size quite uniform. It is an excellent sort either for hot house or outdoor culture. Grown out of doors the color resembles hot house grown stock and it sells well in competition with them. Price-(5c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (40c per ¼ lb.) ($1.50 per lb.) ($1.35 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($1.25 in 100-lb. Lots), prepaid. (500-lb. Lots not prepaid, $1.10 per lb.) If you can club with other growers and buy in large lots write for special offers on any variety.

DVB Special-It Stays Green Cucumber
This variety of recent introduction resembles Burrell's Earliest of All in color but is about one inch shorter. It matures in the same length of time. Southern planters have gotten good results from this cucumber and I grew a large acreage this year for seed, about ten thousand pounds of which I have already sold. My stock is grown from the introducer's stock who sells it under a trade marked name, and is, I believe, as good as can be had. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (35c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.)

Extra Early White Spine Cucumber
Above is a photograph of one of my fields of Extra Early White Spine Cucumber. This variety is an excellent slicer but is lighter colored than Burrell's Earliest of All, which means it is not as good a market sort. For the home garden where both a pickler and slicer is wanted it is excellent. Large quantities of this seed is used by Pickle Manufacturers, as it is equally as good for small pickles as for dills and by many considered one of the best. The fruits are straight, square ended, thick, solid walled, making solid pickles. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (25c per ¼ lb.) (85c per lb.) (75c per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) prepaid.

Snow's Pickling
This early, square-ended sort is one of the finest varieties for pickles and many of the largest picklers use this seed exclusively. It is a selection from Chicago Pickle, which is a little shorter and more nearly square-ended. My stock is carefully grown from the best of stock seed, and is such as will please the most critical trade. Price-(5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.) (85c per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) prepaid. ($65.00 per 100 lbs. In large lots) not prepaid.

The Deltus Cucumber
A very fine new sort, recommended as one of the best slicers ever introduced. The Deltus Cucumber was developed by a very successful market grower in New York State and it was through the recommendation of one of my customers, who had tested the Deltus, that I secured stock seeds and grew this seed. The fruits are very dark green marked like the white spine sorts at the blossom end, but differing in that the skin is smooth. There is no darker green sort. The flesh is ivory white, very deep, and of excellent quality. Very few seeds are produced and these are slow to form, so that as a slicer it will command high prices on the market. The fruits are very uniform in shape and size and bear in great abundance. You know where less seed is produced more cucumbers result, as the strength of the vine goes to produce cucumbers instead of seed. Length 10 inches as slicers. Prices (20c per pkt.) (40c per oz.) ($1.40 per ¼ lb.) ($5.00 per lb.) postpaid. Special Hot House Stock Seed Deltus Cucumber. I made this very careful selection from ideal specimens for greenhouse growers of cucumbers. Many report this the best thing they have grown for hot house planting. Prices (50c per pkt.) ($1.50 per oz.) ($5.00 per ¼ lb.) ($18.00 per lb.) postpaid.

The Vaughan Cucumber
This is one of the finest cucumbers for slicing. The dark green color resembles the Deltus but the fruit averages longer (10 to 12 inches as slicers). These two cucumbers should plant some of this seed. Prices (20c per pkt.) (40c per oz.) ($1.40 per ¼ lb.) ($5.00 per lb.) ($4.75 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) ($4.50 per lb. In 100-lb. Lots) prepaid.
