PICKLING VARIETIES 
Market Growers' Prices, Page 91 
PICKLING Our stocks are bred tor prolific yields and freedom from 
v/xnitTicc crooks. Earliest of All is a favorite with south- 
VARIETIES ern picklers. National Pickling is second to none in its 
ability to produce high quality pickles not inclined to taper 
rapidly to the blossom end. We have a special strain of this and after 
inspecting our crops, one of the largest pickle packers made the 
observation that this was certainly a “Piokle Man’s Dream,” and the 
best variety for pickling use in the northern states. Burrell’s Pickling 
is one of the most abundant yielders. It is a selection from Chicago 
Pickling and is excellent for those wishing a long, slender pickle. 
Snow’s Pickling is slightly shorter than National and tapers more to 
the blossom end. Boston Pickling is a good performer in all sections 
for either small or large pickles and we recommend its use where there 
is any uncertainty as to the pickling variety you wish. We have a new 
stock of Early Cluster which we recommend to those requiring a blocky 
appearing pickle with very blunt, rounded ends. We invite correspond¬ 
ence from pickle packers as we specialize in the production of seed for 
this trade. 
Boston Pickling 
65 days. (Illus¬ 
trated on page 27.) 
A splendid sort for 
small bottle pickles, also large sours 
and dills. Fruits about the same diam¬ 
eter as National, but slightly longer, be¬ 
ing a new refined selection and should 
not be confused with ordinary stocks of 
Boston Pickling. This new stock is be¬ 
coming a favorite with eastern picklers.

spined, 6 to 6% inches long, 2inches 
thick, only slightly tapered.

Burrell's Pickling thTs%o?; 
' from the Chi¬ 
cago Pickling with the idea of produc¬ 
ing an extra early prolific sort that 
would be straight, slender, square ended 
and free from nubbiness and offer it as 
what we believe to be the best medium 
long type pickling sort yet introduced. 
Fruits are so cylindrical that lobes are 
barely distinguishable even when fully 
matured. Size about the same in diam¬ 
eter as Boston Pickling, but averages 
one inch longer, an abundant yielder. 
Black spined.
