fore the plant breeder who developed it had completed the work to 
his satisfaction. When he released the finished product we were 
fortunate in obtaining a considerable amount of the seed which we 
offer as the Improved National Pickling. Vines rather small, fruits 
straight, symmetrical, full at the ends; length 6% inches, thickness 
2% inches. Black spined, recommended for production of high grade 
small pickles, a good yielder. This variety has taken first place with 
pickle packers in the north central states.

arge National Pickling Improved National but fruits are 
slightly larger, thicker, and in appearance much like the Early Clus- 
ter. The Large National is our favorite pickling sort. It is a tremen- 
dous yielder and the fruits at the pickling stage, when. well grown, 
have a remarkably small percentage of nubs and crooks. In our 
opinion this is the best variety for pickle packers.
