Burgess' Pickle Blend Heinz Special 
This special 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 
pickles. Their vigor, productiveness 
and uniform quality follows by the 
same principle used in hybrid seed 
corn and other hybrids. 
A very similar blend has been used 
for many years by most commercial 
pickle concerns, who have found it 
most profitable. Tests at Michigan
