PICKLING VARIETIES 
416 GREEN THUMB PICKLE. (New). White-Spine Double Yield. 
52 days. An extraordinary new dark green pickle, developed from a 
single white-spined fruit we found in our famous Double Yield. Very 
early and productive, it has slightly shorter fruit with the same 
smooth blunt-ended shape and even better color. Instead of turning 
yellow when a little old as most pickles do, Green Thumb holds its fine 
color and excellent quality through the large dill and slicing stages. 
These bright green, attractive, fresh-looking cucumbers have been 
much appreciated by our customers—‘“‘All you say of them and more’’ 
as one of them wrote us. For tremendous yields of the finest pickles 
and early slicers, grow our Green Thumb. See photo on page 4.

443 WISCONSIN SR No. 6 (New). Highly Resistant to Scab or Spot- 
Rot Disease. 54 days. An important addition to the growing list of dis- 
ease resistant pickles, Wisconsin SR No. 6 is a popular commercial 
type with high resistance to scab or spot rot. Developed by Dr. J. C. 
Walker of Wisconsin, it is early and a heavy yielder of attractive 
fruit, slightly shorter and thicker than Ohio MR 17, smooth with blunt 
ends and very uniform. Spot-rot is becoming increasingly serious in the 
North and Middle West, but this excellent resistant variety will pro- 
duce tremendous crops even in badly diseased areas.

435 OHIO MR 17. Handsome Mosaic Resistant Pickle.

pickle companies and meets their exacting requirements for a fancy 
pickle pack. The fruit are medium dark green, less warted and fur- 
rowed than Yorkstate and just a little longer and more slender. It is 
nearly cylindrical in shape with blunt ends and is highly uniform and 
attractive. Vines very vigorous, broad leaved, strong and healthy.

but still of fine pickling type. Medium green, they have fair length, 
and are not too thick. A well bred, uniform stock.

Harris’ Double Yield—Huge yields of fine pickles. 
418 HARRIS’ DOUBLE YIELD. The Most Prolific Pickle. 
52 days. Developed and grown entirely by us, Double Yield is famous 
for its earliness and its enormous production of excellent pickles. 
The fruit are of medium length, very straight with blunt ends and 
good green color, perfect for both small and dill pickles. When large 
enough for slicing, they have thick crisp flesh of delightful flavor. 
Keep the vines picked and Double Yield will continue to produce at 
“an astonishing rate. Small pickles grow in clusters like the fingers of 
your hand and slicers are ready extremely early, since the plants 
start to bear while still very small. Double Yield is in many respects 
the ideal pickling type. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 35c; 144 Lb. 90c; % Lb. $1.50; Lb. $2.50. 
“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. Most pickling 
types and China are black-spined and these get yellow quickly 
if allowed to mature past the market stage. 
428 LEMON. 65 days. A 
real cucumber that grows 
about the size and color of 
a large lemon. The flesh 
is white and has a remark- 
able sweet flavor, quite 
different from other cu- 
cumbers and very delicious. 
Highly esteemed both 
for slicing and pickling, 
they are ripe when first 
starting to turn yellow, 
but may be used either 
green or ripe. The cultiva- 
tion is the same as other 
cucumbers. 
Pkt.15c; 4% Oz.35c; Oz. 60c. 
442 WEST INDIA GHERKIN. 58 days. An entirely distinct type producing

little sharp spines. Much smaller than the regular pickling types. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. $1.00.
