Burrell's Klondike Cucumber Cucumbers
This is one of my special items of my own introduction. It is a pleasure to be able to state that it has through merit and without extensive advertising worked into the favor of market growers until it is now one of the leaders. It is not excelled for outdoor growing for slicing, producing specimans equal to the finest hot house products under favorable conditions. It is a very hardy grower. Early, yields abundantly and withstands unfavorable weather conditions. Even when most sorts fail. When ready to ship the shape averages as in cut; color dark green with pale green stripes from the blossom and about one-third the length; flesh white and crisp, of excellent flavor; length about 7 to 8 inches. No sort produces more uniform fruits. Many single customers purchase from 100 to 500 pounds, and some more. Large lots in 1-pound sealed cloth bags. Price-(5c per pkt.), (10c per oz.) (30c per ¼ lb.) ($1.00 per lb.) (85c per lb. In 10-lb. lots) (75c per lb. In 100-lb. lots), post or express prepaid. 500-lb. lots, $65.00 per 100 lbs., not prepaid.
