“/ have such a lol of nice pickles when I plant Harris' Double Yield and I will raise 
no other kind." Mrs. B. F. Steenrot, Maplewood, Ohio. June 15, 1938. 
"We planted If lb. Double Yield pickle last year and my customers said they had 
never seen nicer shaped pickles arid more uniform in size." Elizabeth M. Hazlett, 
Washington, Pa. June 2, 1938. 
Seed is sown in this latitude (Western New York) the middle of May 
for early slicers and last of June for pickles and late cucumbers. 
The while spined varieties retain their green color even when ripe, 
while the black spined kinds turn yellow when mature. A few hills in the 
home garden will supply an abundance of cucumbers and pickles. For 
best results the fruit should be kept picked. It is important that the 
young vines be kept free from insects, especially the striped cucumber 
beetle. We recommend dusting with Sulrote (see page 87) as soon as the 
plants appear above ground and at regular intervals until the vines 
become full grown.
