PICKLING VARIETIES 
432 OHIO MR 25 (New). Excellent Mosaic Resistant Pickle. 
58 days. Just released by the Ohio Station and the H. J. Heinz Co., 
Ohio MR 25 is an ideal home garden pickle and fine for fresh market 
and processing as well. It is highly resistant to mosaic with vigorous, 
large-leaved vines that often stand up until frost, giving continuous 
production over a long period of time. 
The uniform, symetrical pickles are slightly shorter than MR 17, 
round and fairly smooth with blunt ends and medium dark green color. 
They are firm, of excellent quality and make a fancy pickle pack. 
Somewhat later than Double Yield, its disease resistance and long 
bearing habit make it preferable to many growers. Highly recom- 
mended. See photo on page 3.

435 OHIO MR 17. Highly Popular Kind. 
56 days. Another outstanding development of the Heinz Co. and the 
Ohio Station, this widely grown pickle is also resistant to mosaic and 
gives tremendous yields. The fruit are longer and slightly more slender 
than Ohio MR 25, medium dark green, moderately warted and fur- 
rowed but with same uniform cylindrical blunt-ended shape in general. 
It is just right for pickling where the extra length is desired, and is 
wonderful for home use. The strong healthy vines hold up well.

418 HARRIS’ DOUBLE YIELD. The Most Prolific Pickle. 
52 days. An old favorite Harris variety, Double Yield is famous for its heavy early yields 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 great crops of small 
pickles, or you can get slicers extremely early, since the plants start to bear while still very 
small. It is an excellent variety both for the home garden and for market use.

416 GREEN THUMB PICKLE. A wWhite-Spine Double Yield. Early and Productive. 
52 days. Developed from a white spined mutation in our Double Yield, this new dark pickle 
is very early and productive, and highly popular with our customers in short season areas. 
The fruit are quite short and blunt-ended, smooth, bright green and very attractive. 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, making it the first to produce slicing 
cucumbers. It is fine for pickles too, and we highly recommend it.

Harris’ Double Yield 
445 WISCONSIN SMR 12-12 (New). Resists Scab and Mosaic. 53 days. Adding mosaic 
resistance to the high scab or spot-rot resistance of Wisconsin SR No. 6, which it replaces, this 
fine new strain should have an important place in the North and Middle West. Developed 
by Dr. J. C. Walker in cooperation with the Wisconsin Pickle Packers Assoc., it is very early 
and highly prolific right from the start. Resembling the popular National Pickle, the attrac- 
tive fruit are somewhat more tapered and lighter in color than the Ohio strains, firm, well- 
warted and excellent for processing. The combined resistance makes it one of the best to grow.

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 remarkable sweet flavor, quite different from other cucumbers 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 cultivation is the same as other 
cucumbers. Pktiloc4 Ozs 5563.07 60c- 
442 WEST INDIA GHERKIN. 58 days. An entirely distinct type producing great quantities 
of very tiny, prickly fruit, which make excellent small pickles. The fruits are short, rounded in 
shape and covered with little sharp spines. Much smaller than the regular pickling types. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. $1.00. 
“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. 
Green Thumb 
Most pickling types and China are black-spined and these get yellow quickly if allowed 
to mature past the market stage.
