PICKLING VARIETIES 
418 HARRIS’ DOUBLE YIELD. The Most Prolific Pickle. 
We consider this the best 
cucumber grown for pickles. It is noted for its ability to produce 
enormous quantities of pickles of the most desirable shape and color, 
often producing twice as many as any other variety. Black Spine.

“WHITE SPINE” and ‘“‘BLACK SPINE’’ refer to the small 
prickly bristles on cucumbers. The slicers are nearly all white 
spine and hold their dark green color for a long time. The pickling 
types plus Improved Long Green and China, are black-spined and 
these get yellow quickly if allowed to get past the market stage. 

Yorkstate Pickling 
Excellent yields in areas where mosaic destroys other kinds. 
448 YORKSTATE PICKLING. (New). Mosaic Resistant National 
Pickle. Yorkstate Pickling answers the need for a mosaic-resistant 
pickle that will produce good crops where this disease eliminates 
other kinds. It is quite similar to our National Pickle but ripens a few 
days later and is a little longer, more tapered and more warted or 
spiney. The color is medium green. 
Developed by Dr. H. M. Munger of Cornell University, Yorkstate 
Pickling proved a fine yielder in the seed crop we grew on our farm 
and we believe it will have real value for many pickle growers. The 
vines are large and vigorous, very tolerant of mosaic and productive 
over a long period.

Harris’ Double Yield 
Some of our customers say these should be called “Triple Yield”! 
433 NATIONAL PICKLE. We offer true stock of this very prolific 
pickling sort which was bred to meet the specifications of a number of 
the leading pickle packers for size, shape and color of the pickles. The 
fruit is slightly shorter and lighter colored than Harris’ Double Yield 
and is more or less warted over the entire surface. It is a very depend- 
able producer and is widely grown for both small and dill pickles.

428 LEMON. A real cucumber that grows about the size and color of a 
large lemon. The shape is shown in the photograph. The flesh is 
white and has a remarkable sweet flavor, quite different from other 
cucumbers. 
They are highly 
esteemed by many 
people both for 
table use and pick- 
ling. The fruit is

ferred. The culture

other cucumbers.
