“THE FINEST CUCUMBER IN CULTIVATE 
This magnificent variety, sent out by us last 
season, is undoubtedly the Pandit ever offered 
to the Horticultural Public: It is a fine pearl- 
ains the last 
markably shy seeder, immensely prolific, and of 
a quality for table that is not to be excelled. It 
grows rapidly to the length of 30 to 36 inches, 
being j» the same tim e tender and crisp, and of 
st beautiful nipoti ons. For exhibition 
hoe Ber at will-be found to have no equal, and 
for general use cannot be surpassed.
