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, and should be grown in the place of 
Telegraph everywhere, especially as a market cucumber ... 1 0
