 FECTED JERSEY PICKLE.

 New Jersey pickle growers have 

 annually depended on us for seed, 

 we have given unusual attention 

 to the selection and improvement 

 of cucumber seed for pickles, and 

 in this new strain, Avhich is the re- 

 sult of nine years' careful breed- 

 ing, we have a strain which is 

 pronounced by growers of 30 

 years' experience a perfect 

 Jersey pickle. Its desirable 

 form and uniform size are well 

 shown in photograph alongside. 

 Flesh white, crisp and tender, 

 with but few seeds. The vines 

 are strong and vigorous, bearing 

 continuously and long after all 

 other varieties have ceased. Pkt.,
