The''Henderson Perfected White Spine Cucumber 



"I have been raising cucumbers 15 years and find your Perfected White 

 Spine the best I ever raised, exceedingly prolific and of superior quality." 

 W. J. LOUDERBOUGH, Daisy, La. 



"Your Perfected White Spine is the most uniformly beautiful type of 

 cucumber I have ever seen, and its deep green color is retained for an un- 

 usual length of time." F. T. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb. 



"I must compliment you on your White Spine Cucumber, the Henderson 

 Perfected Strain. I picked cucumbers on May 28th from vines that were 

 not above the ground on April 15th." 



C. H. KENNERLY, Palatka, Fla. 



"I planted your Henderson Cucumber the same day as the old White 

 Spine, and picked Henderson's 6 days ahead of the other. I found them 

 wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good-flavored. I can 

 recommend it." J. D. THOMPSON, Yonkers, N. F. 



THE FINEST FOFk SLICING. 



CUCUMBER perfection has been attained in this grand improve- 

 ment in the White Spine family. It is an early, prolific and 

 continuous producer of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits 

 of an intensely rich, deep green color, faintly marked with light 

 yellowish shading towards the tip. It runs very close to type, 

 bearing practically no misshapen fruit or culls. It is the ideal for 

 slicing — flesh being compact, fine-grained, sparkling white and of 

 most refreshing and delightful flavor. The vines are vigorous, quite 

 healthy, mildew-proof, maintaining their fresh luxuriance and bear- 

 ing from the earliest to the latest season. Either for the home 

 garden or for market this variety is without a peer. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $1-75 lb. 



Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber. 



Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the Whole Season! 



AN extra early, exceedingly prolific and 

 continuous-bearing variety ; a very dis- 

 tinct and attractive selection of the 

 White Spine class; the shape is unique, rather 

 longer than most sorts, tapering at each end, 

 slightly ridged throughout, with few but large 

 "knobs." The color is beautiful dark green, 

 shading off a little paler toward blossom end. 

 It is one of the best cucumbers for slicing and 

 general use, the flesh being remarkably firm 

 and crisp; it also yields a good number of 

 fruits for pickling, and holds its crop for an 

 unusually long period. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. 

 oz., 50c. J4 lb., $1.50 lb. 



"/ must say a few words in regard to your Cool and 

 Crisp Cucumber. It is a very superior variety. I started 

 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." 



JAS. L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 



"I planted your Cool and Crisp Cucumber on the same 

 day as White Spine, gave them the same treatment, and 

 picked them 9 days ahead of the White Spine. 1 found 

 them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and 

 good-flavored. I can recommend it as a good cucumber." 

 P. N. CHEEVER, Cold Spring, L. I., N. Y.
