NATIONAL PICKLE 
(STARR’S) 
(Black Spine) 
Size: 7x3 inches 
Weight: 11 pounds 
Edible in 55 days 
Principle use: Pickling 
A recent introduction of the 
early pickling types; it has 
met with general favor for the 
critical trade, for this partic¬ 
ular type of pickle. It was de¬ 
veloped for the National Pickle 
Packers’ Association and is a 
remarkably early, productive 
and uniform strain. The small 
pickles are rather short and 
thick, while the larger sizes 
are smooth and cylindrical, 
with well-rounded ends. The 
entire flesh of the fruits is 
uniformly thick thus prevent¬ 
ing splitting in the center and 
hollow sides in the pickles.
