CUMBERLAND. 



A new and distinct variety, said to have originated from crossing the Parisian Pickling 

 and the Early White Spine. It certainly has the good qualities of each of these sorts. 

 The fruits are large, symmetrical, dark green, covered with innumerahle small white 

 spines, and are of prime quality for slicing. The vine is vigorous, wonderfully prolific, 

 and continues in hearing much longer than most sorts.

CULTURE. 



For very early Cucumbers sow the first of 

 April in a hot-bed upon pieces of sod (grass side 

 down), so that they can be readily transplanted 

 to the open ground, in rich soil when danger of 

 frost is o ver, or protect by hand-glasses. The 

 vines require *warm location for early Cucum- 

 bers. Plant after the ground has become warm 

 in hills i feet apart for the smaller varieties, 

 and 5 feet for the larger sorts. For pickling sow 

 from middle of June to last of July. Manure 

 with ashes, fertilizer or some well-rotted com- 

 post, working the manure just under the 

 surface. Sprinkle the vines with slug-shot, 

 plaster of air-slacked lime, to protect from bugs. 

 The Cucumbers should be gathered when large 

 enough for use, whether required or not ; if left 

 to ripen, it destroys their productiveness.
