New Rockford Pickle 
Without Question the Finest Variety for Pickling, Possessing Every Qualification Required of a 
Perfect Pickling Cucumber and is Four-to-One in Productiveness with Other Standard Sorts

throughout the country. The fruit is of medium size, slender, cylindrical, with large spines and 
of dark green color. It is wonderfully even in growth and the whole crop can be depended upon 
to make fine shaped pickles. The vines begin to set the fruit when quite young and continue to 
bear longer than any other variety, yielding many hundred bushels per acre. 
You will find this variety valuable for slicing also, being of fine flavor, crisp 
and delicious. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c; Vi lb. 40c; y 2 lb. 75c; lb. $1.25;

Beautiful Fruits All Through the Season 
Our Everbearing Cucumber is not only extremely prolific, but will continue

dark green color, average from 4 to 5 inches in length. The merit of this 
variety is in the fact that the vines produce fruit continuously, until killed by 
frosts. They exhibit at the same time Cucumbers in every stage of growth, 
but invariably of perfect form, even when quite small. The fruit is of fine 
green color and very desirable for pickling. Pkt. 8c; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 20c; Vi lb.
