Large 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. ;
