Cucumbers=2 Good Ones.| 
PARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely distinct cucumber comes to me from§ 
France. The illustration is an excellent representation of this fine variety, as it represents 
the natural size of fruit as picked for pickling by Paris gardeners, soit can readily be 
seen that they make beautiful miniature pickles. Of course, they need not be 
picked so young if large pickles are desired, but if allowed to grow they will look much 
smoother. They are of a deep green color, very prickly, and flesh is always firm 
and remarkably brittle. It is of really startling productiveness, as the vines are 
completely covered with the little fruit from one end to the other. It is absolutely § 
and positively distinct from every other variety of cucumber. It is sure to become a | 
favorite with all lovers of small pickles, and I can highly recommend it to the attention 
of my customers. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents. 
THORBURN’S NEW EVERBEARING.—I desire to call especial attention to 
this unique variety. It is of small size, very early, enormously productive, and § 
valuable‘as a green pickler. The peculiar merit of this novelty is that the vines con- 
tinue to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripeJ 
cucumbers are picked off or not, differing in this respect from all other sorts in cultivation. 
The one vine exhibits at the same time cucumbers in every stage of growth, the small 
ones being perfect in shape, of a fine green color, and just the size for pickling. In my} 
travels last summer all the market gardeners I visited, who had planted Everbearing, 
were delighted with it. Packet, 10 cts. ; ounce, 15 cts. ; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25. J

quality. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 44 pound, 30 cents; pound, 90 cents. 
MAULE’S PEERLESS.—This is one of the best strains of pickling 
cucumbers I consider in the market. All market gardeners desiring an extra § 
choice cucumber for their trade will find it fills the bill. It is very prolific, early, good § 
size, straight, well formed, full at both ends, color a deep green, which it retains until § 
mature. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 44 pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cts. 
EVERGREEN. —It differs from the Early White Spine, in retaining a deep green J 
color in all stages of growth. It grows very long, is very productive, and 
matures very early. Its handsome appearance and desirable color will make it a 
great favorite with all growers, either for pickling or market and table use. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 30 cents ; pound, $1.00.

market qualities. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 144 pound, 25 cts.; pound, 80 cts.
