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 de- 

 lightful 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.)

The Henderson Long Type 



Makes the Ideal Pack 



A few years ago our market observer discerned a decided preference 

 on most markets for a long type of the Henderson Cucumber. 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 Hender- 

 son 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 Cu- 

 cumber in America. We look for the Henderson Long Type to become 

 a money maker for the grower — a market favorite. 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.
