. Burpee's farm annual written at Fordhook Farm. Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. The Paris Pickling is decidedly the best of all in quality for pickling. The young cucumbers, when of the proper age for pickling, are slim and slender, from three to five inches in length, and the entire surface of the skin is covered with delicate, black, hairy- spines.
