Burgess' Pickle Blend 
This speciai blend is composed of the 
outstanding pickling varieties in cor¬ 
rect proportion to produce maximum 
yields of uniform, symmetrically 
shaped, dark colored pickles. Each 
variety in this mixture is a pure strain 
grown separately, after which the seed 
is mixed to secure proper cross-pollina¬ 
tion, resulting in first generation hybrid 
piekies. Their vigor, productiveness 
and uniform quality follows by the 
same principle used in hybrid seed 
corn and other hybrids.

for many years by most commercial 
pickle concerns, who have found it 
most profitable. Tests at Michigan
