I Cucumbers^2 Good Ones. 



' PASISI AA^ PICKLING. — This entirely distinct cucumber conies to me frona 



•■ 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, so it can readily be 



I seen that tKey malce beautiful miniature pickles. Of course, they need not be 



r picked so youusj if large pickles are desired, but if allowed to grow they will look much 



I smoother. They are of a deep green color, very prickly, and flesh is al^vays firm 



', aDd remartably brittle. It is of really startling productiveneBS, as the vines are 



completely covered with the little fruit trom one end to the other. It is absolntely 



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



THORBURIV'S NEAV E VERBEARING.-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 oi this novelty is that the vines con- 

 tinue to flo^ver and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe 

 cucumbers are picked off or not, differiug 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. ; J^ pound, 35 cts. ; pound, gl.OO.
