Uniformly Symmetrical 



Fruits of Unequalled 

 Size, Quality and Color. 



H ENDERSON'S 



This introduces the most 

 perfect form of the White 

 Spine Cucumber that has 

 yet been attained. Reali- 

 zing the enormous acre- 

 age that is annually planted with this type, as well as the fact that it is used more largely than 

 any other in private gardens, we have been carefully selecting for many years to secure all the 

 good points essential to a perfect fruit. 



The result is more than gratifying for in the "Henderson" Cucumber, we have a perfect 

 fruit in every detail. The vines are very strong and of great vigor, resisting insect pests and 

 fungous diseases successfully, to which weaker sorts so easily succumb. These strong vines are of 

 vital importance to private growers, as well as the trucker, as they stand the wear and tear con- 

 sequent to the picking process without severe damage. It is without a peer in color, the rich 

 dark green extending over almost the entire fruit. The shape is excellent, very symmetrical and 

 with but little taper at the blossom end. For slicing it is ideal, while its enormously productive 

 vines, yielding such quantities of finely colored "pickles," make it perfect in this respect. We con- 

 fidently recommend it to all our patrons. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt. ; 8 pkts. for $1.00. 



"EARLY SPRING" 

 ^^^CABBAGE. 



THE ONL Y Extra Early, Round Flat-Headed Cabbage 

 \ in the World I 



COMING IN with the Wakefield, and yielding one- 

 third more than any other Extra Early. 



This variety is of the Early Summer type, 

 but about one-fifth smaller, and has only four 

 to five outside leaves, and these so small that 

 it may be planted twenty-one inches apart, 

 13,500 to the acre. 



Remembering that this is a first early flat 

 variety, the shape that is so popular on all 

 markets, and that it is ready fully a week earlier 

 than any sort like it, its value can be read- 

 ily appreciated. The stem is short, mak- 

 ing almost the whole plant edible. It is 

 finely bred, the veining of the leaves being 

 particularly fine. There is no cabbage 

 we know of having a more solid head ; it 

 has also the peculiarity of heading 

 firmly at an early^stage in its growth, so 

 that the finest cabbage, though small, 

 can be obtained long before it has at- 

 tained its mature size.' Its shape and large 

 yield per acre make it particularly valu- 

 able for truckers, and its good quality 

 will render it the finest early cabbage for 

 private gardens. (See cut.) Price, 15c. 

 pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 14 lb., $6.00 lb.
