MAULE'S SHAMROCK CUCUMBER. 



247 



Maule's Shamrock Cocumber 



Z4S 



There are many varieties of White Spine Cucumber for which this characteristic of being always green has been 

 claimed ; but, as a rule, they have all been found wanting. The originator of Shamrock has this to say : "Some years ago 

 growing two acres of cucumbers for pickles, I found three cucumbers that were green while the rest were yellow. I cut 

 these three cucumbers and found them dead ripe. I saved the seed and planted it the next yeaj: by itself, growing some 

 for pickling, and found it 0. K. I found that a few turned partly yellow when ripe. These I discarded and planted the 

 seed again from a green cucumber with a perfect result. The cucumber is dark green, good shape, about like Jersey 

 Pickle, turns light green when dead ripe. It is a good table cucumber and is the best for all market gardeners, as it keeps 

 green so long. I am willing to stand by every claim, and if there is another such cucumber I do not know of it." It is 

 needless to say that Shamrock, if it does as well the country over as it has done where it originated, and on my trial 

 grounds, will make a name for itself everywhere. Packet, 10 CtS.; OUUCe, 15 CtS.; quarter pOUnd, 40 CtS.; pouud, $1.25.
