Seneral use that haat ever been introduced. As 
will be seen by our iIlu.stration it is rather lonu 
coming abruptly to a point and has almost no side 
shoots. In color it is a rich shade of orange and the 
flesh IS solid, yellow and with no core. It is free from 
the coarse, rank flavor found in most of the varieties 
of Its size. For home use we cannot too highly 
recommend it to our patrons, and we know that 
for arnateurs it is unequaled by any other var- 
iety. We introduoe<l this several years agoand each

CULTURE-Cucumliersnced a warm sandy soil, and •should not be planted in open 
pronnd until the weather is settled and warm, as they wiU not thrive until the groiVnd 
IS thoroughly warmt.<l. Sprinkle the young pLants witli fine a.shes, pl.-ister, or air-slacke<l 
Ume to protect them froni bugs. Plant a dozen seeds to a hill, covering half an inch deep. 
After tlie plants are st.irted, piiU all but three orfourof the strongest. Th<> middle of June 
is e,~.rly enough to plant for pickling. Make the hills alwut six feet apart. For early cucum- 
bers the hotbed is necessary, but the simpl.-st and surest way to produce a tolerable early 
cropof the best kind is, where it is designed to place a hill, dig a hole aliout eighteen inches 
deep and three fe<rt across; into this put a barrow of fresh manure ajid cover with a small 
box-like frame, on the top of which place a couple of lights of glass. When the plants grow 
ket!p the earth tlrami up to » he stems. Wat.r and give air. As fast as the cucumbers attain 
asuitaljlesize, they .should be taken from the vine, whether required for use or not, au their 
npening soon destroys the vine 3 fruitfulne.ss. 1.00 «i jiuv, a., uucii
