VVHLTE: SPINE CUCUMBER 



The "Henderson" White Spine Cucumber 



EXTRA EARLY 



HEALTHY 



PROLIFIC 



HANDSOME 



THE FINEST FOR SLICING 



Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in the 

 White Spine family. It is early, prolific and produces a continuous 

 crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely rich, 

 deep green color, faintly marked with light yellowish shading toward 

 the tip. It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen 

 fruit or culls. It is the ideal for slicing; the flesh is compact, fine 

 grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and delightful flavor. 

 The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, and mildew-proof, maintaining 

 their luxuriance and bearing abundantly from the earliest to the 

 latest season. In every respect this variety is without a peer. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $2.00 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 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 but few "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. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 



M^. 20c. oz., 60c. H lb., ^2.00 lb. 



" Your Cool and Crisp Cucumber 

 and White Spine, cannot be beaten 

 anywhere for bearing and class of 

 fruits they bear." 



EARL L. POWERS, 



Oswego, N. Y. 



"My Cool and Crisp Cucumbers 

 were excellent. I never had such 

 good results before."
