CUCUMBER (Frame)

CULTURE, — NoMiing is so desirable as good Cucumbers, but nttenliou is required if good fruit 
is to be obtained. The seeds may be sown in January or February in pots or pans. J’he 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 potvS during April, and transplanted in May to a spot previously prepared with well-rotten 
manure. 
Per pkt.— 
Loekie*S Perfection, — Selected stock. A splendid variety, its chief features 
being the finest iu 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 hlack Spine, which the Telegraph was so deficient in. 
Further, it is the darkest green of any, very free, aud taking all points 
into consideration, it is decidedly a grand addition ... 6d. and 
Cannells’ Selected Improved Telegraph — After several years’ 
careful selection and re-selection aud seeding, only from the most prolific 
and handsome shaped fruit, onr 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 cucuml)crs, 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 seusDii, and 
can confidently recommend it to our customers as a grand re-selection 
from the old far-famed variety, aud will give undoubted satisfaction
