GURNEY’S 
CUCUMBERS 
NEW NATIONAL PICKLE: (See colored pic¬ 
ture on inside front cover) This is a strictly 
tailor-made cucumber. The National Pickle Pack¬ 
ers Association told the seedsmen just what they 
wanted in an early pickling cucumber, and the 
New National Pickle is the result—the answer to 
a pickle packer’s prayer. 
It is very early and very productive. A beauti¬ 
ful dark green color. The small pickles are rather 
short and thick while the larger sizes are smooth 
and cylindrical with rounded ends. The flesh is 
very thick with no hollow sides. For quantity and 
quality, plant the New National Pickle.

GURNEY’S NEW EVERBEARING: Very early, 
enormously productive, literally covering the 
ground with its fruit the entire season until killed 
by frost, making it the most prolific variety in 
existence. Fruit is medium size and rich, dark 
green in color. The fruits are short and blocky— 
perfect for small pickles.

and pickled than almost any other vege¬ 
table. Plant enough for slicing, pickling 
and for dills. New National Pickle and 
Gurney’s New Everbearing are the best 
of the small early pickling varieties. Black 
Diamond is good both for pickles and early 
slicing. For the finest largest sheers, plant 
Longfellow and Gurney’s No. 777. For 
dill’s, you can’t beat Straight 8 and The 
Colorado. 
GURNEY’S NEW LONGFELLOW: This is 
truly a magnificent cucumber. The best of the 
large varieties. Its dark green color, perfect shape, 
and firm white flesh place it in a class by itself. 
This new cucumber grows to a length of 15 
inches and retains its dark green color until nearly 
ripe. Vines are vigorous and very prolific, bearing 
fruit over a longer period than any other variety. 
The home or market gardener cannot go wrong by 
planting this as his main crop for slicing or 
large pickles.
