FLORISTS' BIG CUCUMBERS. 

 M. Hubernian of 171 Belmont street, 

 a well-known local florist, has devel- 

 oped a grade of cucumbers which aver- 

 age 18 inches in length and some of 

 which measure as much as 24 inches. 

 Yesterday Mr. Hubernian picked 16 of 

 them and the shortest was 17 inches 

 long. He has named them "The Giant" 

 and is now working to increase its size 

 to a full yard and has great hope of 

 success before the season is over. The 

 seed originally came from Scotland, 

 and although it produced fruit larger 

 than the average cucumber, it re- 

 mained for Mr. Hubernian to produce 

 the cucumbers in unusual sizes. — Bos-

SCHIZOPHRAGMA HYDRANGE- 

 OIDES. 



Schizophragma hydrangeoides must 

 be included among the shrubs which 

 flower in July. This beautiful climb- 

 ing plant has not had a successful 

 career in the Arnold Arboretum. 

 Seeds were first sent here in Decem- 

 ber, 1876, from Sapporo in northern 

 Japan with those of Hydrangea petio- 

 laris, Syringa japonica, Phellodendron 

 sachalinense and other interesting 

 plants. A large number of Schizo- 

 phragma plants were raised and sent 

 to other American and European gar- 

 dens. Those planted in the Arbore- 

 tum never flourished, and soon disap- 

 peared, probably because the right 

 place was not found for them. Plants
