ATLEE BURPEE & CO., Our crops of this very distinct and most valuable new cucumber have been the admiration and wonder of seedsmen and market gardeners. One groM-er for market, from Boston, Mass., said, " It is the cucumber I have been looking for all my life, but never expected to see. I never ate a finer ; Another, a seedsman, with an eye to its money value, remarked, " That cucumber ought to make a man's ; In habit of growth it is entirely distinct, setting the cucumbers very close around the stem, and maturing these early, then afterward the vines continue to run and bear freely throughout the season. The illusiration above is tiot a fancy sketch, but was drawn from 7iature,^ the fourteen cucumbers shovin in this sketch were all borne within twelve inches of the center of the hill, and only one vine in the hill. To show this remark- able growth the artist has removed the central leaves, and it will be noticed that the cucumbers grow so thickly together that they actually lie piled one upon the other. They grow remarkably uniform; the skin is very smooth and entirely free from spines. In color they are a beau- tiful pearly zvhite: even the young fruits are of a very light color, nearly as pure white as when ready for use. They are solid, tender and crisp in taste, of splendid quality for slicing; for pickling in bottles the pure white little fruits must prove very attractive.
