Harris' Double Yield —Enormous Yields of the Finest Pickles 
Since we introduced this variety a number of years ago it has become 
increasingly popular among growers because of the enormous yield of 
line straight pickles. The young cucumbers are produced in clusters of 
three or four like the fingers of your hand. 
The cucumbers are very straight with blunt ends, medium deep 
green in color and of the very best shape for small pickles. This is also the 
earliest variety we know, enabling growers to plant late and still get a 
large yield of fine fruit. See prices on page 14. 
“I planted 1% acres Harris' Double Yield lasl year and picked 500 bu. pickles. I 
think they are the best pickle grown.” Joseph Martin, Masury, Ohio. Feb. 27 , 1939. 
Irondequoit Hothouse —Greenhouse Bred Strain 
This is the famous variety which has been developed by the green¬ 
house growers around Rochester. The seed has been saved for us entirely 
from perfect fruit grown under glass by an expert cucumber grower in 
Irondequoit. It will produce remarkably fine uniform cucumbers. The 
fruit is long, slender, and deep green, nearly perfectly solid with very few 
seeds. The vines are vigorous and very prolific.
