352—NEW NATIONAL PICKLE: (See colored 
picture 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.

Postpaid.

green in color. The fruits are short and blocky— 
perfect for small pickles.

GURNEY’S 
Dear Sirs: 
I like your seed better than any other 
seed. It seems like every seed grows and 
produces strong healthy plants. I have used 
them for years and I'll never buy any others. 
Yours truly, Mrs. Ole Berg 
April 16, 1941 
More Cucumbers are used both fresh 
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 slicers, plant 
Longfellow. For dill’s, you can’t beat 
Straight 8 and The Colorado. 
CULTURE: Cucumbers are easy to 
raise and very profitable both for the 
home and market gardener. You can 
lengthen your pickle season by 
making several plantings as late as 
July 15th. Plant seed 1 inch deep 
after danger of frost is past. Thin 
out to 3 plants toa hill. 1 ounce for 
80 hills, 2 pounds per acre.
