Pickling Varieties Our stocks are bred for prolific yield¬ 
ing and freedom from nubs and crooks. 
Earliest of All is a favorite with south¬ 
ern picklers. It withstands the heat well, and does not turn yellow; 
produces very satisfactory small pickles, and as a dill is crisp and 
brittle; free from bloaters. Burrell's Pickling is one of the most abun¬ 
dant yielders. It is a selection from Chicago Pickling and is excellent 
for those wishing a long, slender pickle. National Pickling is second 
to none in its ability to produce high quality pickles not inclined to 
taper rapidly to the blossom end. Snow's Pickling is slightly shorter 
than National and tapers more to the blossom end. Short Green 
and Boston Pickling are good performers in all sections for either 
small or large pickles and we recommend their use where there is 
any uncertainty as to the pickling variety you wish. We have a 
new stock of Early Cluster. Seed supply of this is limited, but we 
would like to have you try it. Length is the same as National but 
somewhat heavier and of more blocky appearance; very blunt at the 
ends. We invite correspondence from pickle packers, as we special¬ 
ize in the production of seed for this trade.
