CHOICE PICKLING CUCUMBERS 
The Cucumbers listed on this page are the most select 
varieties for pickling. We take pride in the uniformity in 
shape and size, and the trueness to type of our strains of 
these varieties. You will be pleased with our high-grade 
Michigan seed. 
Burgess’ Pickle Blend 
This special blend is composed of the outstanding pickling varieties in 
correct proportion to produce maximum 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 generatioh hybrid pickles. Their vigor, pro- 
ductiveness 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 Experiment Station have thoroughly proved the value of such 
a blend. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 25¢) (44 Ib, 75c). (Ib. $2.25) (5 Ibs. $10.00)
