HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



CUCUMBER 



Cool and Crisp, Henderson's. 



An extra early, ex- 

 ceedingly prolific 

 and continuous-bearing variety; a very distinct and attractive 

 selection of the old 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 a beautiful dark 

 green, shading off a little toward blossom end. One of the best 

 for slicing and- a grand pickling sort. Price, oz. 20c, J^ lb. 50c, 

 lb. $1.50. 



Davis Perfect. 



A very well bred selection of the White 

 Spine class, chiefly distinguished by the 

 long, slim character of the fruits, a shape that is coming into favor 

 on account of its adaptability for slicing. It has excellent color 

 and the flesh is remarkably crisp and delicate in flavor. The 

 vines have the strength and vigor characteristic of the White 

 Spine type, which ensures a good crop of perfect fruits. (See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 20c, }4 lb. 45c, lb. $1.40. (25 lbs. and 

 upwards @ $1.25 lb.) 



National Pickling. 



It is claimed by the introducer that 

 this is a superior variety, because of 

 the solidity and firmness of the fruits, which is retained after 

 pickling. They are uniform in size and of good color. Especially 

 suited for small pickles. Price, oz. 15c, H lb. 35c, lb. $1.00. 



Early Fortune. 



A fine type of White Spine, vigorous 

 in growth, resistant to disease, and 

 very productive. It begins bearing early, the fruits are attractive 

 in appearance, rich dark green, and about 9 inches long when 

 fully matured. The flesh is pure white and firm; a good shipper. 

 (See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c, }4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.50. (25 lbs.
