•NATIONAL PICKLING (55 days)-—The cucumber originally developed to 
the specifications of the National Pickle Packers’ Association at the Michigan 
State College of Agriculture. Since its introduction the process of breeding 
and development has been continued personally by Prof. George E. Starr for 
the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. The stocks of the Rice strain, as so developed, 
surpass any for the packer’s use. B. S. (Illustrated on preceding page). 
SNOW'S PERFECTED PICKLE (55 days)—An old standard sort, very popular 
among the pickle packers. It is early, productive, small, square ended and 
deep green. It produces a very small percentage of “nubs” and “crooks.” 
In its desirability it is second only to Rice’s National Pickle. Our selected 
strain of this variety is much superior to stocks generally sold under this 
name. 6x2% in. B. S.

ular in the South as a shipping variety. 8x3 in. W. S.
