PARISIAN PICKLING. 
PARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely dis- 
tinet 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 britt.e. 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.
