EXHIBITORS OF CUCUMBERS AND OTHERS. 



T DWARD TILEY has great pleasure m being 



I enabled this season to offer his celebrated and unnval e«i 



Cucumber " C A PTIVATION," which has not been equalled 



irpassed by any other Cucumber ever sent out. He naa 



many times asked for this superb variety by growers who 



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



e small quantity of seed it produces. E. T. has no besita- 



in saying that this will be found "the standard of peifec- 



o a Cucumber," and he has never seen ™*™™°™l "! 



tod this. It possesses the following unrivalled qa^es . 



a splendid black spine, of a very dark-green colour and 



rtrely free from ribs or shrivels with scarcely ^ any or no 



:.*\l and carries its bloom well to the !■*_ ^f*'*?™

25 inches, and not more than half an in ch tandle. As a
