OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. 

 TO FX-TTRTTORS OF CUCUMBERS AND OTHERS. 



EDWARD TILEY has great pleasure in being 

 enahled this season to offer his celebrated and unrivalled 

 new Cucuirit* r " C* PT I VAT 10! V' which has not been equalled 

 or surpassed bv any other Cucumher ever sent out. He has 

 Been many tme* risked for this superb variety by growers who 

 have seen it, but he has been unable to supply it. in consequence 

 of the small quantity of seejii it produces. E. T. has no hesita- 

 tion tn saying that this will be found " the standard of perfec- 

 tion of a Cue una her," and he has never seen one so before till 

 he raised this. It possesses the following unrivalled qualities : 

 It U a splen lid Mack spine, of a very dark-green colour, and 

 entirely tree from ribs or shrivels, with scarcely any or no 

 handle, and ca»ries its bloom well to the last. Length, from 

 r to 38 inches. It is a very quick grower, sets well, prolific 

 hearer, and second to none for exhibiting. To show its per- 

 fection, a brace of these Cucumbers, when cut last season, 

 were found to measure exactly 10 of its diameter long, 

 fceiDir -•") inches, and not more than half an inch handle. As a 

 proof ot the prnriuciveness of.tho above,, a bed was made for 

 a two-Ji^ht frame, and four plants placed therein; the first 

 brace of fruit mm cut on the 29th March, and the last brace on 



the 25th November last, during which time the unaccountable 

 number of 102 brace was produced from the four plan's ; total 

 length of the wh«»le amounting to 56 yard3 2 feet. — Sold in 

 packet" of three Seeds. 5*., or five Seeds, 7s. fid. Also, 



TILEY'S CUCUMBER "PHENOMENA," 



which Cucumber gave universal s» isfacion last season. This 

 is also a splendid black spine, abundant bearer ; in length, 

 from 2$ to 28 inches, and very easily grown, with little heat. | 

 Packet-, of s x >eeda, 2*. 6d., or a packet of this and one of 

 m Captation," «». 



E. T. has also Seed of the undermentioned fine varieties : —
