The "Henderson^^ Cucumber 



PERFECT IN SHAPE THE LEADING VARIETY FOR THE TRUCKER 



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

 carload of Henderson's White Spine." It is the ideal for slic- 

 ing, 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 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. 15c., 

 M lb. 40c., lb. S1.25. (25 lbs. and upwards $1.00 lb.)

 delicate in flavor. The vines have the strength and vigor char- 

 acteristic of the White Spine type, which ensures a a;ood crop.
