D.M. Ferry & Co's Perfection Pickling
This valuable new variety is produced from seed imported by ourselves from Europe and supplies a want long experienced for a cucumber that exactly fills all the requirements of a perfect pickle and table sort combined. If pickled at proper size, it fully equals the celebrated Crosse & Blackwell's Gherkins, which have obtained a world-wide celebrity for fine form and beautiful color. If permitted to grow to proper size, it is superior to any of the old varieties for table cutting. It is a distinct variety, uniformly marked with three well defined ribs; straight, well-formed, handsome, about twelve inches long; tender and brittle, and produces a very large crop.
