SHORT PROLIFIC OR GREEN PROLIFIC PICKLE. 
A short-vined, short-fruited, productive variety, 
producing fruit for pickling in a comparatively 
short time. Black Spine, an abundant bearer, high¬ 
ly recommended for pickles, for which it is used 
by many of the most famous pickling establish¬ 
ments. Short vine allows planting in rows as close 
as 2 V 2 feet. 
JERSEY PICKLE. A short black-spined, productive 
sort, having the reputation of ripening better than 
any other variety and of holding its color. Early 
spring sowing will develop fruit of pickling size 2 
to 3 inches, in 50 days. Good green color at stem, 
and paling to light yellowish green at tip. Distinct¬ 
ly showing 9 ribs with warts, and black spines. 
GHERKIN, BURR OR WEST INDIA GHERKIN. A 
round, prickly Cucumber. Used for pickles only. 
The seed gets very hard, consequently, before 
planting, it should be soaked well as it takes it so 
long to sprout under ordinary conditions. Form of 
fruit resembles a horse chestnut burr.
