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., (0c; 0z., 28c; 1% lb., 85c¢; lb., $2.75; °2
