CULTURE . — Similar to tliat of the Cucumber, but requiring .several 
degrees more of heat, whieh must be maintained with regularity. A quick 
growth should be encouraged during the earlier stages, and when about one 
foot or so high the tips should be pinched out, causing them to come 
stronger, and the fruit sets more freely. As a rule they are in perfection 
just before the stems come away easily from the fruit. The soil should be 
kept firm and solid throughout the growth.

New York.— This variety will be a great favourite 
when better known. It grows to a large size, some 
specimens having been grown 18 inches in diameter, 
and weighing nearly four pounds. It is compact, 
folds in \erv nicely, and blanches well, very crisp 
and sweet, excellent flavour, free from bitterness, it 
will stand for a long time on the ground without 
running to seed. It is not a forcing variety, but is 
certainly one of the best varieties for summer use ever 
introduced. We strongly recommend a trial ('«/.& l.«.
