NEW PARISIAN PICKLING.— This entirelj new Cucumber comes to me from 

 France. The Illustration is an excellent representation oi this fine variety, as it represents 

 the natural size of fruit as picked for pickling bv Paris gardeneis, so it can readilv be 

 seen that they make beautiful miniature pickles. Of course, thev need not be 

 picked so young if large pickles are desired, but if allowed to grow they will look much 

 smoother. They are of a deep green color, vcrv prickly, and flesh is always firm 

 and remarkably brittle. Jt is of really startling productiveness, as the vines are 

 completely covereU with the little fruit from one end to the other. It is absolutely 

 and positively distinct from every' other variety of cucumber. It is sure to become a 

 favorite with all lovers of small pickles, and 1 can highly recommend it to the attention 

 of my customers. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 30 cents. 



THORBURN'S NEW EVERBEARING.— I desire to call especial attention to 

 this unique variety. It is of small sbie, very early, enormously productive, and 

 valuable as a green pickler. The peculiar merit of this novelty is that the vines con- 

 tinue to flower and produce fruit until killed by frost, whether the ripe 

 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 1 visited, who had planted Everbearing 

 were delighted with it. Packet, 10 cts. ; ounce, 15 cts. ; % pound, 40 cts. ; pound, 81.25.
