 saw its equal. The deep color, large sizz and even shape attract attention. It is also very 

 prolific" S. 1 U UEL L. COLBERT, Louisville, Ky.

 Henderson's 5 days ahead of the other. I found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green 

 crisp and good-flavored. I can recommend it." J.D.THOMPSON, Yonkers, N. Y.

Henderson's " c ° o1 and Cri8 "" Cucumber 



Extra Early ! Exceedingly Prolific ! Bears the whole season ! 



AN extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-bearing 

 variety ; a very distinct 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 an intense 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. \ lb., $1.40 lb. 



"/ must say a few words in regard to your 'Cool and Crisp' Cucumber. It is a 

 very superior variety . I started thi 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 si a sun. it astonished everybody." 



JAS. L. BALMER, Maryeville, Mich.

 lit, in the same treatment, ami picked tin m days ahead of the White Spine. I 

 found them, wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and sweet-flavored. I can 

 recommend it as a good cucumber."

Henderson's Improved Eqq Plant, New york 6 p |neless - 



A vastly superior type; the plants are of low, stocky, branch- 

 ing habit and absolutely free from spines. It is a very early and 

 continuous producer of handsome purple fruits of the largest size 

 and finest quality; the plants usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits 

 before killed by frost. Such fruits as are large enough may be 

 picked and stored in a warm, dry place at the approach of frosty 

 nights, and thev will keep in good condition for some time. (See
