CUCUMBERS. 
LORD ROBERTS. An exceedingly handsome variety 
raised by Mr. W. H. Apthorpe, Cambridge ; the result of 
a cross between Royal Osborne and Lockie’s Perfection. 
The fruit which are longer than the last named variety, are 
of a rich dark green colour, of splendid shape, with no neck, 
and are borne in the greatest profusion. It is useful for 
Winter or Summer cultivation, and on account of its prolific- 
ness and beautiful appearance, will prove a most valuable 
variety for the private or market grower per pkt. Is. 6d. and 2 6 
THP~ DISEASE RESISTER. A very prolific variety of similar 
type to the Amateur, but a stronger grower. The strong

a very finely selected stock of The Rochford or Covent Garden 
type. It is enormously productive, bearing 3 to 4 fruit at 
a joint. The fruit, which are of handsome shape, average 
about 20 to 24 inches in length, are slightly spined and 
of fine colour, whilst the neck is very short. As its name 
implies, it will prove one of the best for the amateur grower 
for all purposes . . per pkt. Is. 6d. and 2 0

SPECIAL NOTICE. 
One o/ the great causes of failure in raising Cucumber Seed is too much moisture 
at starting. To begin with, the soil should be warm and not over moist ; plant in 
small pots three or four Seeds in each ; place in heat of from 80° to 90 ’. Be sure 
and give no water until the Seeds are well up, and then ivater but sparingly for a 
day or two. We have adopted this plan for many years past with the greatest 
success.
