BURPEE'S CUCUMBER SEED. 51 NEW PARIS PICKLING CUCUMBER As will be seen from the illustration herewith, the Paris Pickling is entirely distinct from all sorts hitherto known, and is decidedly the best of all in quality for pick- ling. The young Cucumbers, when of the proper age for pickling, are slim and slender, trom three to live inches in length, and the entire surface of the skin is covered with delicate, black, hairy spines.

BURPEE'S CUCUMBER SEED. 51 NEW PARIS PICKLING CUCUMBER As will be seen from the illustration herewith, the Paris Pickling is entirely distinct from all sorts hitherto known, and is decidedly the best of all in quality for pick- ling. The young Cucumbers, when of the proper age for pickling, are slim and slender, trom three to live inches in length, and the entire surface of the skin is covered with delicate, black, hairy spines. When the un- usually crisp, brittle character of the pickles is known it must surpa-ss all others in popu- lar favor, while from the very first its unique appearance will make itof great value in the manuliicture of chow chow and other mixed pickles. Crispness is the great desideratum of the Cucumber pickle, and the brittle crisp- ness of these little fruits equals that of the Snap-Short Beans ; so crisp and brittle are they that they snap freely, and, when ready for pickling, show absolutely no signs of seeds. When we add, that at the pickling stage, in connection with the good qualities named, the fruits are of an unusually dark green color—so deep that no coloring matter is necessary, even in preparing them for market—it will be apparent that the Pakls Pickling is altogether unapproached in quality. The genuine seed is very scarce. Per pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts., or 7 pkts. for 50 cts., postpaid. BURPEE'S GIANT PERA CUCWBER.
