Cucumbers-2 Good Ones. 



PAJIISIAN PICKLING. — TMs entirely distinct cucumber comes to me from 

 France. The illustratiou is an excellent representation of this fine variety, as it represent.s 

 the natural aze of fruit a.< picked for pickling by Paris gardeners, so it can readily be 

 Been that tliey make 1>eaiitiful mlulatnre pickles. Of Cdurse, they need not be 

 picked ^ youug if large pickles are desired, but if allowed to grow they will look much 

 smoother. Tliey are of a deep p'een color, very prickly, and flesh is alTrajrs firm 

 and reniarkablj- brittle. It is of really startling productiveness, as the vines are 

 completely covered with the little fruit Irom one end to the other. It is absolutely 

 Kiid positively distinct from every other variety of cucumber. It is sure to become a 

 favorite with all lovers of small pickle*, and I can highly recommend it to the attention 

 of mv customers. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce. 25 cents. 



THORBURX'S XEW EVERBEARING.-I desire to call especial attention to 

 this unique variety. It is of small size, very early, enormously productive, and 

 vai'iable as a green pickler. The peculiar merit ol this novelty is that the vines con- 

 tinue to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe 

 ciicu:nbers are picked off or not, differing in this respect from all other soit-s in cultivation. 

 The ■<ne vine exhibits at the same time cucumbers in every stage ol growth, the small 

 ones being perfect in shape, of a fine green color, and juht the size for pickUng. In my 

 travels last summer all the market gardeners I visited, who hml planted Evertearing, 

 were delighted with it. Packet, 10 cts. ; ounce, I.t cts. ; 1.4 pound, 35 els. ; pound, SI. 00.
