THE CUCUMBER. 269 



VARIETIES. 



Most growers have their favourite varieties. My 

 own experience leads me to recommend for both 

 summer and winter crops, Volunteer and Telegraph. 

 These are the most generally useful cucumbers I have 

 ever grown for both winter and summer, and I have 

 tried scores. Sir Garnet Wolseley is a variety re- 

 cently raised by Joseph Hamilton & Sons, Carlisle, 

 and of which I have a very high opinion as a general 

 cropper.
