Lockie’s Perfection. — This Cucumber came out last year with great honours and higher 
character than, perhaps, any variety ever before. We were so taken with its appearance 
oil several exhibition tables, that wo delermined to set apart a 100 feet house for its 
culture, so as to have it perfectly true, and, with one exception, it has maintained exactly 
the character the raiser gave it, which is, it is not so long by 2 to 3 inche.s. In ail 
other re.spects it is a splendid variety, its chief features being the finest in the Telegra])h 
family, with black spines ; the very thing wanted for years, ns 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 bo grown in the place of 
Telegraph everywhere, especially as a market cucumber per pkt. of 10 seeds 1 0
