There are three di.stiinl types of fmc- 

 ing eueundjers, as the Wiiite Spim\ the 

 extra long, .smooth English type ;niil a 

 half-breed eros.s of thi' common White 

 Sjiine on the so-called English varieties. 

 1 do not know of any more reason for 

 the name of English cueumlier than the 

 calling of our native jiotato the Irish 

 potato, as there are many different 

 strains of these long, eeldike eucumbei^ 

 grown in almost all countries of the 

 world. The English gardeiu'rs have l)et- 

 ter success with this typo and also find a 

 better market for tliein. so they air 

 grown almost exclusively in that count rv 

 and to the highest pos'^ible state of pel 

 fection. .Many ha\(' tried t() iiitidcluie 

 them into the markets in this (■oiiutrv. 

 but the ])Cojile do not take to them and 

 they do not sell for nearly as imirji 

 money as a nice gr.ade oT Whiti' Spin, 

 onl}' one-half or one-third as lai^ie. .\1 

 most every grower \\\ui tries .a Ihhim' ,,r 

 them, even when the crop is cxcill.iit. i< 

 sorry for it. It i.^ geucr.-dly jirr, luted 

 that this type will ne\er be |)iipMl,'ij- m 

 thi.s country. When cids^id .m t),,. 

 White S|uiie \ariety an e>;eill<nt strain 

 is sometimes obtainecl. whieh luiv the 

 strength of the English parent ;iiii| .■( 

 fruit almost exactly Hki- tlie White 

 Spine, but much larger. .Many ;;roweis 

 in this country now \\>^c some such strain 

 of their own productinn. But for the 

 majority of greenhouse men there is 

 nothing any more profitable or satisfac- 

 tory than the common White Sidne forc- 

 ing cucumber, many difteieut strains nf 

 which are advertised in the b'KviKu. (t
