Pickling Varieties These differ from the White Spine type in that plants areof a more compact habit of growth, forming more leaf joints and bearing fruits of a shorter or more shape. The plants are of exceedingly free-flower- ing habit, and, there being an abundance of pollen available, the young fruits are set quite freely. Where the object is an abundance of small pickles, the four varieties listed below de- serve your preference. Where Cucumbers are wanted for both slicing and pickling, any sort of the White Spine type described opposite should be grown. Early Green Prolific, or Boston Pickling. The name well describes this variety. It is one of the most freely bear- ing of all pickling Cucumbers, and the fruits are of very symmetrical and attractive shape at all stages.
