THE HENDERSON CUCUMBER TOPS THE MARKET FOR QUALITY AND APPEARANCE 



CUCUMBER 



The "Henderson" 



Rich Dark Green Color — The Leading 



Variety for the Shipper and 



Market Grower 



For many years this has proven to be the most reliable of all 

 the White Spine types. It is extremely early, and produces 

 an enormous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits. 

 It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen 

 fruits or culls. As one of our customers aptly expresses it "There 

 is not a basket of culls in a carload of Henderson's White Spine." It 

 is the ideal for slicing, the flesh being compact, fine-grained, 

 sparkling white and of most refreshing and delightful flavor. No 

 variety excels it in vigor of vine; it not only sets, but matures, 

 a heavier crop of perfectly shaped crown fruits than any other 

 variety. None equals it in color, and none holds the color better. 

 It is grown and shipped in greater quantities than any sort on 

 the market, and always sells at top prices. {See engraving.) 

 Price, oz. 20c, \i lb. 45c, lb. $1.40. (100 lbs. and upwards @ 

 $1.25 lb.). Write for special prices on large quantities. 



The Henderson Long Type 



Makes the Ideal Pack 



A few years ago our market observer discerned a decided pref- 

 erence on most markets for a long type of the Henderson Cucum- 

 ber. Those growers who were successful in producing the longest 

 uniformly shaped fruits always commanded the highest prices. 

 Our plant breeders immediately undertook the task of selecting 

 and breeding the Henderson Cucumber to fix this characteristic so 

 that all growers could profit thereby. 



The result of their efforts is a beautiful Cucumber about one 

 inch longer than the regular Henderson type, possessing all of the 

 merits and qualities that have made the Henderson the most 

 popular Cucumber in America. We look for the Henderson Long 

 Type to become a money maker for the grower — a market favor- 

 ite. It makes a most attractive pack and is equally as inviting in 

 a hamper as in a crate. Owing to its firm texture it is also a good 

 shipper. Our trials prove it to be as early as its parent variety. 

 Price, oz. 20c, M lb. 50c, lb. $1.60, (100 lbs. and upwards @ $1.50 lb.) 



Don't let Aphis, Thrip or Red Spider destroy your crops. They are easily controlled with the new insecticide Evergreen. See page 63.
