THE FINEST FOR SLICING EXTRA EARLY HEALTHY VINES 

 PROLIFIC HANDSOME 



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. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. VL lb., 

 $3.00 lb. 



"I used some of your seeds last year and got excellent results and the White Spine Cucumbers we not 

 only supplies our neighbors with but had all we wanted for ourselves." 



Mrs. J. H. RANDALL, Portsmouth, N. H. 



"My White Spine Cucumbers were grand. I had Cucumbers real early and sold them in the stores. I 

 itiess I got about 1100 Cucumbers from 1 oz. of your seed and they bore until frost. They could not be 



better." 



Mrs. CLARE 



NCE 



BJSH. McDonald, Pa. 



" You will be interested to know, though not surprised, that the seeds bought of you last year did finely. 

 The While Spine Cucumber paid the entire expense of my garden just from its sale of fruit. I only had nine 

 hills but they bore wonderfully. I gave more away than I sold and everybody praised them." 



Rev. A. R. BICKENBACH, Oregon, III. 



HENDERSON'S 



392 Cool and Crisp Cucumber 



The Best for Pickling — Firm and Crisp — Very Prolific — Bears the Whole Season 



An extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-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 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 pick- 

 ling and holds its crop for an unusually long period. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J4 lb., $2.50 lb. 



"I raised over five hundred Cucumbers from the package you sent me last year. I found the Cool and Crisp to be an excellent variety 

 both in quality and quantity. In fad, all the seeds I got from you proved to be exceptionally good." 



Mr. LEROY G. PORTER, Hanover, N. H.
