Burgess’ Pickle Blend 
This special blend is composed of the outstanding 
pickling varieties in correct proportion to produce max- 
imum 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-pollination, resulting in first gen- 
eration 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 State College Experi- 
ment Station have thoroughly proved the value of such 
a blend. Pkt., 10c; oz., 18c; 14 Ib., 50c; lb., $1.60; 2

delicious * winter salad served like let- 
tuce. Plant seed in May or June and in 
the fall dig roots, cut off the leaves, and 
store in soil in a cool place until wanted

‘ed the roots should be planted in boxes 
of earth, in a cool, dark place in the cel- 
lar. If not grown in a dark place it 
should be banked up like celery. Pkt.,
