PARISIAN PICKLING. 
PARISIAN PICKLING.—This entirely dis- 
tinct 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 very short, I can of- 
{ 
fer it by the packet only. Packet, 10 cents. 

SHORT GREEN OR EARLY FRAME.— 
An old sort still in favor, and used for pickles. 
It is of medium size, straight and handsome. 
At maturity is a good table cucumber.
