Green Pack is the new name we are this, year giving to the Stay Green type. We have bee,n asked to discontinue the name Stay 

 Green, inasmuch as that is a registered name for a lawn grass. Green Pack is a type grown on a very large acreage in Florida and the 

 Carolinas. It is slightly earlier than Early Fortune and slightly smaller. While we are glad to accede to the request of the patentees, 

 we nevertheless feel that it causes a regretable situation owing to the fact that it. adds to the confusion of the already heavily loaded varietal 

 name list. Other synonyms which exist at present are Green Hill, Sunny South, Dark Green Slicer, etc., etc. Green Pack has proven 

 to be a remarkably profitable cucumber, especially to the Florida growers. Our stock will be found a thoroughly satisfactory one from 

 every point of view. The type purity of 94% as noted in our specifications, is made on a most rigid count — a very small percentage of 

 the fruit being slightly over or under the average length of 7H inches. It will retain its original color perhaps longer than any other 

 variety, and it will prove a very heavy yielder under normal conditions.

It has been a generation 

 since there has been any 

 marked improvement in Pick- 

 ling Cucumbers. We take 

 great satisfaction in offering 

 Pickler's Special. It is a 

 distinct improvement on 

 either the Chicago or the 

 Snow's. A sample will be 

 convincing. Pickler's Special 

 is a robust grower, and is a 

 heavy producer of the most 

 attractive pickles. One of the 

 outstanding assets of the 

 variety is its appearance when 

 salted and finished, for it 

 retains its fresh green color, 

 and is uniformly firm. If you 

 are interested in Pickling 

 Cucumbers, give this one a 

 thorough trial. 



Pickler's Special is a development of " the famous Heirtz strain.
