Burpee's Fordhook Pickling Cucumber
This is one of the best and most prolific for producing pickles of medium size, both for home use and market. The vines are extremely vigorous and healthy, yielding a large number of fruits if kept gathered at the proper stage. Skin extremely thin, tender, and free from toughness when pickled. If allowed to grow to nearly full size, fruits are of excellent table quality. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; ¼ lb., 40c; lb., $1.25; postpaid.
