PARISIAN PICKLING, 
\fPARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely dis- 
cinct cucumber is, as its name implies, of 
French origin, and yields beautiful miniature 
pickles. They are preferably picked when 
quite young and small, in order to preserve 
their peculiar appearance, as they become 
smoother when approaching maturity. They 
are deep green in color, very prickly, with flesh 
that is always firm and brittle. The vines are 
excessively productive, being covered with the 
curious little fruits. Crop again short. I can 
offer it by the packet only. Packet, 10 cents.

ESTERFIELD’S CHICAGO PICKLING.—This variety is preferred above all others by 
me of the largest pickling establishments in Chicago and elsewhere. It is one of the best for
