ite pickle sorts in the southern states. 
3 ° Our Improved National Pickling and 
Pickling Cucumbers Tapraved Boston Pickling are best 
liked in the northern states. Burrell’s Earliest of All is our best 
seller in the South to pickle packers. Straight-8 is used somewhat 
in the South for a long pickling sort. We invite correspondence 
from pickle packers, as we specialize in the production of seed 
for this trade. 
H : 58 days. A splendid sort for 
Boston Pickling Imp roved small bottle pickles, also large 
sours and dills. Fruits about the same size as National, being a 
new refined selection and should not be confused with ordinary 
stocks of Boston Pickling. This new stock is becoming a favorite 
with eastern picklers. Fruits dark green, very firm, black spined, 
6 to 6% inches long, 2% inches thick, only slightly tapered. :

Chicago Pickling sort. Fruits medium green, black spined, 
6% to 7 inches long, 2% to 2% inches thick. Tapers very slightly

Improved National Pickling Eee Phe Sree none 
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 
21% 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. 
(Pkt., 10c) (oz., 20c) (14 Ib., 55c) Clb., $1.65) ( Ibs., $7.25) prepaid 
Larae National Pickli 50 days. Much the same as the 
g ck ad 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.
