PARISIAN PICKLING. 
PARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely dis- 
tinet cucumber is, as its name implies, of 
French origin, and yields beautiful miniature 
pickles. They are preferably picked when 
uite young and small, in order to preserve 
their peculiar appearance, as they become 
Smoother when approaching maturity. They 
are deep green in color, very prickly, with flesh 
that is always firm and brittle. The vines are 
excessively productive, being covered with the:| 
curious little fruits. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cemts.

SNAKE.—This cucumber is curious as well 
as useful. I have seen it six feet in length, 
coiled like a serpent. It is an interesting thing 
in the garden. Packet, 10 cents. 
F. Peck, Sharpsbury, Ky.—Your Long Green Cucum- 
ber is far superior to any other, both for pickle and 
table use. The vine is very vigorous and healthy in 
this soil. One of our merchants says he will never 
carry any other kind as all his customers call for them.
