WHAT IS THOUGHT OF__————» 
HENDERSON’S CUCUMBER SEED 
i=—___BY THOSE WHO GROW IT. 
“T can get Cucumber seeds from seedsmen, claimed to be perfectly 
reliable, for much less per lb. than yours, but I must confess I always 
have better results from your seed. I would rather pay more for your 
seed than run the risk of obtaining an inferior grade. I am the largest 
cucumber planter in this section and it would do you good to see a ship- 
ment of the ‘cukes’ I raise, and I always have to say, when referring to 
my best lots, ‘these are of Peter Henderson’s seed.’”’ 
“T don’t think I ever got more satisfaction for ten cents than that sent 
for a package of Japanese Climbing Cucumbers, of which I have planted a 
few hills every spring and find them strictly first-class in every particular. 
One great feature is that a hill requires no more space than a hill of beans.” 
“T must say a few words in regard to your ‘Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber. 
It is a very superior variety. Istarted the seeds in a cold frame, and had 
them early, and they continued to bear the whole season until frost killed 
the vines. I never saw such a bearer, and considering the dry season it 
astonished everybody.’’—JAMES L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 
“T cheerfully endorse the statement of James L. Balmer, in regard to 
your ‘Cool and Crisp’ Cucumber. It is all that it is represented to be, and 
a more prolific bearer I never saw in such a dry season as last.’’-—JAMES 
Kirpy, Hempstead, L. I.

JAPANESE CLIMBING. While all cucumbers are running 
vines, yet this variety is much more creeping or climbing in its 
habit, so much so that it quickly climbs on poles or trellises in 
the same manner as the Pole Lima Bean. It is entirely distinct. 
The quality is splendid. It is well adapted for pickling as well 
as for slicing for salads. The great advantage of having a 
cucumber which can be trained on a pole or a fence will be 
apparent to all. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. 1g lb., $1.25 Ib. 
IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE. One of the most popu- 
lar varieties, both for marketing and table use. Vines vigorous, 
fruiting early and abundantly, fruit uniformly straight and 
handsome, light green with a few white spines, flesh crisp and of 
fine flavor. Largely grown for forcing and extensively grown in 
the South for shipping to the Northern markets early in the 
season. 5c. pkt., 10c. 0z., 20c. 14 lb., 55c. lb. 
LIVINGSTON'S EVERGREEN. This new variety is proving 
of great value. Itis very hardy and probably the most prolific 
ofall varieties. In addition to being so wonderfully prolific, it 
is very early, and the cucumbers retain their beautifully green 
color longer than any other sort. It is one of the very best varie- 
ties for slicing, as it is very crisp and of good quality, and as it 
produces fruits of medium size it is likely to be of much value 
for pickling purposes. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 55e. Ib.

The cut gives a good idea of the shape of this valuable variety. 
It will be noticed that it is inclined to taper off at the stem end, 
and is generally a little pointed at the other end also. This is the 
most desirable shape for pickles. The cucumbers are straight, 
long, even and slim, and until they reach their full size they are of 
a very dark green color, so dark that it might be almost called 
‘‘plack.” The peculiar feature of this variety is the knobs or 
protuberances, upon which the spines are placed, are prominent 
at all stages of growth, giving the cucumber a very attractive 
appearance. This variety is the earliest and most prolific of all 
pickling cucumbers, and is certain to become a standard sort. While 
primarily a pickling variety, it is one of the very best for slicing, 
the cucumbers, when fully matured, being of good size and 
exceedingly tender and crisp. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
40c. 14 lb., $1.25 Ib. 
NEW EBVER-BEARING. The peculiar merit of this variety lies 
in the fact that the vines flower and produce fruit continuously 
until killed by frost. They exhibit at the same time cucumbers 
in every stage of growth, but invariably of perfect form even 
when very small. The cucumbers are of a fine green color and 
are desirable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 60c. 1b. 
NICHCL’S MEDIUM GREEN. We consider this a most valu- 
able variety. As a pickle sort it will be found unequalled, and 
for early forcing or slicing there is no better. It is exceedingly 
productive, of medium size, and always straight and smooth.

EXTRA EARLY GREEN PROLIFIC. Same asa good stock 
of Green Prolific, but from ten days to two weeks earlier. Those 
who grow exclusively for pickling will find in this something 
they have long desired. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 |b., 60e. Ib.
