NEW PARISIAN PICKLING,—This entirely new Cucumber comes to me from j a a! | I ¢ 
France. The illustration is an excellent representation of this fine variety, as it represents " 
the natural size of truit as picked for pickling by Paris gardeners, so it can readily be 
seen that they make beautiful miniature pickles. Of course, they need not bef 
picked so young if large pickles are desired, but if allowed to grow they will look much j 
smoother. They are of a deep green color, very prickly, and flesh is always firm |} 
and remarkably brittle. It is of really startling productiveness, as the vines are 
completely covered with the little fruit from one end to the other, It is absolutely 4 
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, 30 cents. 
THORBURNW’S NEW EVERBEARING.—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 of this novelty is that the vimes con- # 
timue to flower and produee fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe j 
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. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25.
