Harris’ Double Yield Pickle 
The Most Prolific Variety 
Harris’ Double Yield is not only much more prolific 
than other kinds but is also earlier. These cucumbers 
mature two weeks before other kinds are ready and on this 
account many gardeners find it profitable to grow as an 
early market variety for slicing. The fruit is 5 to 6 inches 
long when ready for slicing. 
When the small cucumbers are kept picked off as fast 
as they get to the right size for pickles, the vines produce 
an astonishing number. The young cucumbers are often 
produced in clusters of three or four like the fingers of your 
hand. 
The cucumbers are very straight with blunt ends, 
medium deep green in color and of the very best shape for 
small pickles. See price below. 
I have never been able to get as good pickling cucumbers as the Double 
Yield. They are uniform and sell for the highest price when something 
^ancy is wan ted. 
I tried your King of the North pepper last year on a small scale and they 
are wonderful. Am planting most of my crop in them this season.

IRONDEQUOIT HOTHOUSE CUCUMBER 
Greenhouse Bred Strain

Irondequoit gardening section and will produce remarkably fine uniform cucumbers. This is the

fruit is long, slender, and deep green. It is nearly perfectly solid with very few seeds and in some 
fruit practically none. The vines are wonderfully vigorous and very prolific.
