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.

"From one packet of Henderson's White Spine Cucumber I have grown 

 1,000 cucumbers some weighing as muck as 2 lbs. each." 

 Oct. 25, 1917. J. KELLER, Havemeyer St., Brooklyn, A r . Y. 



" Your While Spine Cucumber is certainly fine. Last year I planted a 

 packet, from the product of which I sold $6.50 worth, not to mention having 

 sufficient for making 20 quarts of first-class pickles." 



March 20, 1917. R. BAERMAN, Rushford, Minn. 



" We were much pleased with the seeds brought from Henderson's last year. 

 One of the good things was the White Spine Cucumber, and it was the first time 

 we ever grew good cucumbers." 

 March 2, 1917. Miss ANGIE BOUGHNER, Sistersville, W.Va. 



"On June 2nd last year, we purchased from you five pounds of Henderson's 

 White Spine Cucumber seed. We planted this seed together with twenty-five 

 or thirty pounds from other seedsmen and we think it only fair that we should 

 tell you of the great superiority of your seed over that purchased elsewhere. 

 The seed we received from you developed good dark green cukes, fine shape, 

 few culls, vines strong and healthy. Surely in these days when so muck inferior 

 seed of all kinds is sold to us farmers, it is a pleasure to be able to speak in such 

 high praise of the way your cucumber seed grew for us last seaso?i.

Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber 



Extra Early :: Exceedingly Prolific 



Rears the Whole Season 



An extra early, sxceedingly prolific and continuous- 

 bearing variety; a very distinct and attractive selection of 

 the White Spine class: the shape ic 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., 



25c. oz., 85c. }.i lb., $3.00 lb. 



" Your Cool and Crisp Cucumber 

 and White Spine.' cannot be beaten 

 anywhere for bearing and class of 

 fruits they bear."

"My Cool and Crisp Cucumbers 

 were excellent. I never had such 

 good results hi
