Pickling 
260 National Pickling % 
Heavy yielider (55 days) 
Its remarkable solidity will recom- 
mend it to everyone, and it is just as 
firm and crisp after pickling as be- 
fore. Early, heavy producer, and valuable for pickling in 
the small sizes or for slicing when large. Fruits are straight, 
symmetrical, rather blunt at each end but not chunky. Color 
is always dark green. Wonderfully even in growth, so that a 
great number of fruits can be picked at one time. Fully grown 
cucumbers measure 7 in. long and 3 in. thick. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 14 Ib. 75¢; 1% Ib. $1.35. 
247 Straight Eight % 
Gold medal winner (58 days) 
The straight symmetrical fruits grow 8 in. long and about 2% in. 
thick. When ready for use, they are rich dark green, well rounded 
at the ends and do not show any of the striping so objectionable 
at the tips. A good producer, an ideal shipper, attractive in ap- 
pearance, high in quality, one of the best for slicing. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 30¢; 14 Ib. $1.00; 14 lb. $1.80. 
256 Green Prolific or Boston Pickling 
Darker green than most pickling sorts (55 days) 
Fruit moderately short and plump when mature, and suitable for 
slicing. Its principal use, however, is for pickling, and it has a 
long, gentle taper toward the tip which, together with a dark 
green color, is its identifying characteristic. 
Pkt. 10¢; oz. 15¢; 14 Ib. 55¢; 1% Ib. $1.00. 
263 Early Green Cluster 
Bears 2 or 3 short, chunky fruits in each cluster (55 days)

ling purposes as well as for slicing. 2 or 3 cucumbers are pro- 
duced in clusters. Fully matured fruits are 6 in. long and 234 in. 
thick, ends distinctly blunt. Its earliness is of value.

257 Maule’s Improved Long Green % 
Long, dark green fruits; pure white, solid flesh (65 days) 
Fruits are dark green, from 10 to 12 in. long, 3 in. across, straight, 
tapering gradually toward the stem end. They are more slender 
and show less warting or irregularities on the surface than the 
common Long Green. Flesh is'white, firm and crisp. When very 
young the fruits are used for pickling, but they rapidly reach their 
full size, and are then used for slicing. Of all the long varieties 
this has been the most consistent favorite for over 100 years.

246 Davis Perfect 
introduced by Maule in 1906 (58 days) 
Ideal for shape, color and quality, and just about perfect for size. 
It retains its rich, dark green color long after picking; in fact, it 
greatly resembles the handsome, large hot-house cucumbers 
offered at high prices in all the better markets. Vigorous, sturdy, 
productive vines bear an abundance of large fruits, 10 in. in 
length, 214 in. in diameter and somewhat tapered at each end.
