The "Henderson" Cucumber 



PERFECT IN SHAPE-THE LEADING VARIETY FOR THE TRUCKER 



IT EXCELS ALL OTHERS 



For many years this has proven to be the most reliable of all 

 the White Spine types. It is extremely early, and produces 

 an enormous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits. 

 It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen 

 fruits or culls. As one of our customers whose testimonial we 

 print aptly expresses it "There is not a basket of culls in a carload 

 of Henderson's White Spine." It is the ideal for slicing, the 

 flesh being compact, fine-grained, sparkling white and of most 

 refreshing and delightful flavor. No variety excels it in vigor of 

 vine; it not only sets, but matures, a heavier crop of perfectly 

 shaped crown fruits than any other variety. None equals 

 it in color, and none holds the color better. It is grown and 

 shipped in greater quantities than any sort on the market, and 

 always sells at top prices. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c, 

 \i lb. 45c, lb. $1.40. (10 lbs. and upwards $1.25 lb.) Write 

 for special prices on large quantities. 



PRAISE FOR THE "HENDERSON"

 long. They sold for $051.17. Don't you think that was doing well?"

 bore till frost. Sold every one. They could not have been belter."

LEOPOLD BA YHI, Naomi, La. 



"I have used the 'Henderson' Cucumber seed for several years, and find it superior 



in productiveness and color to all other kinds planted in this section. I will want 



forty pounds again this year." W. H. RICKEY, Leesburg, Fla. 



"The 'Henderson' Cucumber seed is as good if not belter than any on the American 



market." SIMON BROWN'S SONS, Blackville, S. C.
