good useful size. The variety is also very suitable 
for early work when treated with that object in 
view. Those who have tried it speak very highly 
of it. If sufficiently early to ripen out of doors, its 
value will be all the greater. 
CUCUMBER SUTTON’S PRIDE OF THE 
MARKET. 
For market work a dark green hue is highly appre¬ 
ciated, and the new variety under notice not only 
possesses this recommendation in a high degree, but 
sentable for several days after it is cut. The fruits 
have a very short handle at the end next the stalk, 
the rest being of uniform thickness, slightly angular, 
and furnished with a few spines only. The plant 
possesses a vigorous constitution, grows freely, and

Cannell’s Carrot, Roberts' Winner. 
CANNELL’S CARROT, ROBERTS’ 
WINNER. 
The accompanying figure shows a very distinct 
Carrot belonging to the early stump-rooted type. 
Most of the varieties belonging to this section are 
either short and top-shaped, or if more elongated 
they taper distinctly from the top downwards. That 
under notice is cylindrical without waste at either 
end, in properly pulverised and otherwise well pre¬ 
pared ground. The portion surrounding the core is 
of a clear and bright red colour, while of close tex¬ 
ture and fine flavour. It will prove serviceable 
either in private establishments as well as in market 
gardens for an early supply of roots, whether forced 
or from the open ground. The attractive appearance 
of well-grown roots will also appeal to exhibitors 
who patronise the earlier summer shows. Messrs. 
H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley, Kent, supply the 
accompanying woodcut of it. 
MELON DIAMOND JUBILEE. 
The oblong or oval fruits of this new Melon are of 
medium size, varying from 3 lbs. to 5 lbs. in weight, 
according to cultural treatment. The accompanying 
illustration, supplied us by Messrs. H. Cannell & 
Sons, Swanley,Kent, gives a general appearance of the 
fruit, which is golden-yellow and irregularly netted 
with gray. The flesh is greenish-white, juicy, melt¬ 
ing, and of excellent flavour when grown under 
favourable conditions, for which the grower himself

is responsible. The variety unites the good proper¬ 
ties of Best of All and Countess, which were the 
parents. It sets freely, ripens early, and is, there¬ 
fore, well adapted for the earlier crops of the 
season. 
retains it for some days after being cut, so that there 
is a chance for it reaching the consumer while yet in 
prime condition. In private establishments, where 
a whole fruit is not required every day, the gardener 
has the satisfaction of knowing that it will be pre¬ 
bears abundantly over a long period. The accom¬ 
panying illustration, lent us by Messrs. Sutton & 
Sons, Reading, represents a brace of fruits very 
much reduced in size, but showing the characteristic 
features of the variety.
