"Your Henderson Cucumber was grand. I have grown Cucumbers for 20 years and never 

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

 prolific" SAMUEL L. COLBERT, Louisville, Ky. 



"I planted your Henderson Cucumber the same day as the old White Spine, and picked 

 Henderson's 5 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, X. Y. 



"As for the Henderson Cucumber it is a wonder, in proof of which I intend planting it 

 largely the coming season." W. H. DAXIELL, Madison, Conn, 



Henderson's. 



and Crisp 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., 

 15c. oz., 40c. | lb., $1.00 lb. 



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

 very sujierior 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 aston ished even/body" 



J AS. L. BA LSlER. Marysrillc, 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. I 

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

 recommend it as a good cucumber."

Henderson's Improved E£g Plant, 



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 being 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 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 J lb., $4.50 lb. 



"Our Egg Plants are the finest arou-n on the Island, and an enormous yield."
