This new variety has been pronounced unequaled as a pickle sort, while it has also been greatly praised as an early- market variety; for slicing for table use, it is very much liked by all who have tested it. It originated with Mr. Nichols, an extensive grower for market, near Columbus, Ohio. The name, *' Medium Green," is descriptive of the size, it being longer than the White Spine, but not so long as the Long Green. The cucumbers are very thick through, considerably thicker than the White Spine, and are full at both ends. The skin is light green in color and very smooth.
