White Spine 



The''Henderson Perfected White Spine Cucumber. 



"I planted your Henderson Perfected Cucumber the same day 

 as the old White Spine, and picked Henderson's 5 days aliead of the 

 other. I found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color , crisp 

 and good-flavored. I can recommend it." 



J. D. THOMPSON, Yonkers, N. Y. 



" Your Perfected White Spine is the most uniformly beautiful type 

 of cucumber I have ever seen, and its deep green color is retained for 

 an unusual length of time. " F. T. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb. 



THE FINEST FOR SLICING. 



CUCUMBER perfection has been attained in this grand improvement 

 in the White Spine family. It is an early, prolific and continuous 

 producer of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely 

 rich, deep green color, faintly marked with light yellowish shading to- 

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

 misshapen fruit or culls. It is the ideal for slicing — flesh being compact, 

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

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

 luxuriance and bearing from the earliest to the latest season. Either 

 for the home garden or for market this varietv is without a peer. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. H lb., $1.75 lb. 



Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber. 



Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the 

 Whole Season! 



N extra early, exceedingly prolific and contin- 

 uous-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 through- 

 out, with few but large "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 pick- 

 ling, and holds its crop for an unusually long 

 period. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 

 50c. 1 4 lb., $1.50 lb.
