NEW PARISIAN PICKLING,—This entirely new 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 H 
and remarkably brittle. It is of really startling productiveness, as the vines are i 
completely covered with the little fruit from one end to the other. It is absolutely ff 
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, 50 cents. 
THORBURN’S NEW EVERBEARING.—1 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 vimes con- ff 
tinue to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe f 
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, and my friends will make no mistake in givingitatrial. Pkt. 10e.; oz, 50c.

use. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; 14 pound, 25 cents; pound, 70 cents.

MAULE’S PEERLESS.—This is one of the best straims of pickling 
cucumbers I comsider im the market. All market gardeners desiring an extra ff 
choice cucumber for their trade will find it fills the bill. It is very prolific, early, good qj 
size, straight, well formed, full at both ends, color a deep green, which it: retains until ip 
mature. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 35 cents; pound, $1.00.

ERGREEN.—It differs from the Early White Spine, in retaining a deep green ff 
color in all stages of growth. It grows very long, is very productive, and §

market qualities. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 14 pound, 25 ets.; pound, 80 cts.

NICHOLS’ MEDIUM GREEN.—It is a very handsome variety, in shape between 
the Early White Spine and the Long Green; always very thick though full at both ends, 
and of uniform size and shape. ‘‘Is worthy of the first place in the list of pickle sorts, § 
second to none as a slicer, and very good for early forcing purposes. In color it isa 
dark green, flesh crisp and tender, very prolific, medium in size, always straight and ff 
smooth, and a real handsome good variety.” Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 10c.: V4 Ib., 25¢.; 1b., 60c.
