Cucumber Trials.— 149 samples, comprehending the most highly prized sorts from the leading seed 

 houses of the United States, all planted in groups of varieties for quick comparison, there never being 

 in any trial grounds such a satisfactory competitive test. Years of critical observation as to the 

 growth and fluctuation in merit of Cucumbers prove that it is due to influences of soil, previous 

 manuring, previous crops, but abovei all these due to the influences of climate, the conclusions of one 

 year often being radically overturned by the observations of the succeeding year, to be again reversed 

 the third year possibly back to the conclusions of the first year. That is, the best one year may be 

 the worst the next summer. Cucumbers will not stand any check in their growth, as when Miey re- 

 sume growth they become of abnormal shapes.
