CUCUMBER (Frame) 
( Cucumis sativus.) Cdcurbitacea;. 
CULTURE. — Nothing is so desirable as good Cucumbers, but attention is required if good fruit 
is to be obtaiued. The seeds may be sown in January or February in pots or pans. The temperature of the 
seed-bed should range from 70 to 80 degrees, never sinking below 60 degrees. Outdoor or Ridge Cucumber 
should be sown in pots during April, and transplanted in May to a spot previously prepared with well-rotten 
manure. 
Per pkt.- 
Loekie’S Perfection. — A splendid variety, its chief features being the 
finest in the Telegraph family, with black spines ; the very thing wanted 
for years, as it gives this prolific class the high and delicious flavour 
of the old Black Spine, which the Telegraph was so deficient in. 
Further, it is the darkest green of any, very free, and taking all points 
into consideration, it is decidedly a grand addition 
Cannells’ Selected Improved Telegraph— After several years’ 
careful selection and re-selection and seeding, only from the most prolific 
and handsome shaped fruit, our stock is now as near perfection as it is 
possible to be. Our two greenhouses, 100 ft. each, have been a grand 
sight, many joints producing four and five cucumbers, and carried them 
all through to maturity; flavour excellent, deep green skin, and the fruit 
of good length. We have saved a splendid sample of seed this season, and 
can confidently recommend it to our customers as a grand re-selection 
from the old far-famed variety, and will give undoubted satisfaction
