Group harvesting cucumbers to be made into pickles
| Description: |
This image taken Sept. 12, 1904, is of a group of pickle pickers on the A.H. Blanchard farm south of Syracuse. This patch of 7 1/2 acres was located in the northwest corner of the farm. The hills were planted four-foot apart and rows were seven and one-half foot. The cucumbers more than likely were headed to the Union Canning Companys pickle brining station located in 1905 along the railroad tracks near where Weatherhead eventually was built. |
