RICE’S Leader No. 3 
RICE’S Improved 
National Pickling Cucumber 
SPECIALLY DEVELOPED FOR PACKERS 
(55 days) 
A glance at the big, prolific yield of Cucumbers shown in the 
full page photograph opposite, gives you an idea, to a small degree, 
of the record-breaking yield from RICE'S Improved National 
Pickling Cucumber Seeds. We have known this strain to produce 
as high as 500 bushels to the acre and it has made many a record 
throughout the country. The important feature, however, is its 
very consistently high average of production for it is this average 
that packers can depend upon for a profitable packing business. 
A recent trend has been noticed in the pickle industry. Picklers 
are looking for Cucumbers a trifle longer and more slender in order 
to make a good looking jar for the retail trade. RICE’S Improved 
National Pickling Cucumber has been kept up to date in this 
respect and meets this new demand of more pickles to the bottle. 
Its strong fibre, firm grain, small seed cavity, and its tough 
skin all make RICE’S Improved National Pickling less apt to 
bruise in handling and therefore a leader in the industry.

Pickling is raised.
