The third form is the smooth and medium-long cucumber, 
which, while they have quite a diversity of size, yet have a com 
mon shape and smoothness. Such are: 4

The fourth form includes those known as English, and i 
distinct, from their excessive length, smoothness, and freedot 
from seeds, although in a botanical classification they would 
united with the preceding (from which they have, doubtless 
originated). They are usually quite free from spines, % 
smooth, and, as grown, are very straight. My synony pe 
these would scarcely be justified had I not observed the 
dency of the fruit to curve under conditions of ordinary culture

The Bonneuil Large White Cucumber, grown largely h 
Paris for the use of perfumers, is quite distinct from e 
varieties, the fruit being ovoid, perceptibly flattened from 
end in three or four places, thus producing an angular # 
ance. We may suspect that Gerarde figured this Y | 
Cucumber, which came from Spain into Germany, <2 r jnt
