📜 Historical Heritage: The 1924 Innovation

The Double Yield Cucumber is a storied heirloom that captures the peak of early 20th-century vegetable breeding. It was officially introduced to the gardening world in 1924 by the Joseph Harris Seed Company of Coldwater, New York.

Historically, it was a breakthrough for both home gardeners and commercial picklers. The breeders at Harris Seeds spent years selecting for a variety that didn't just produce one heavy flush of fruit, but rather continued to set new cucumbers at every node, even as the first ones were being harvested. Upon its release, it was hailed as a "wonder" of the pickling patch, proving so reliable and high-yielding that it remains a staple in heirloom catalogs a century later.
