The American Agrictilturist of November, 1874, says: " In these beans the pods are not only full, with no spaces between, but are as full as they can slick, the seeds so crowding one another that the ends of the central beans are square; the bean is also nuicli thicker than the ordinary kind. A vine of this kind bearing the same number of pods as one of the ordinary variety would, we should judge, yield nearly if not twice as much in shelled beans.

The best form and quality of a Pickle having thus been obtained, the growers found that some hills were more prolitic than others; and by keeping these for seed hills, and saving the first and most perfect Cucumbers only for seed, the bearing <iualities of the variety were gradually so much improved that with good care, an acre will produce 200,000 and more pickles. The same principles which guide stock-raisers in the breeding for some one point, were here followed in producing the most prolific Cucumber ever grown. Its characteristic types are now so-well and pennanently fixed, and its great value so firmly established, that we d'csired to bring it into more gener
