Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in the White 

 Spine family. It is early, and produces an enormous crop of uniformly large 

 and symmetrical fruits of an extremely attractive color, with faint yellowish 

 shading towards the blossom end. It runs very close to type, bearing 

 practically no misshapen fruits or culls. It is the ideal for slicing, the flesh 

 being compact, fine grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and 

 delightful flavor. The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew-proof, 

 maintaining their fresh luxuriance and bearing from the earliest to the latest 

 season. Either for the home garden or for market this variety is without a 

 peer. (See engraving.) Price of the "Henderson" White Spine Cucumber, 

 15c. oz., 45c. i lb., $1.40 lb. (25 lb. lots, $1.30 lb.)

The Davis Perfect Cucumber 



This comparatively new Cucumber produces slim sym- 

 metrical fruits 9 to 12 inches in length, very uniform in 

 shape and of handsome appearance. The color — glossy dark 

 green — is maintained almost up to maturity. It holds its 

 color and apparent freshness long after being cut, render- 

 ing it a good shipping and market variety. The flesh is 

 of fine quality and solid for one third the length from the 

 stem end — the small seed cavity being in the blossom end. 

 While in condition to slice the seeds are so small as to be 

 scarcely noticeable. It so resembles some of the forced or hot 

 house Cucumbers that it is often sold by fruit dealers as such 

 and at high prices. The vines are such healthy, vigorous grow- 

 ers that they should not be planted for best results nearer 

 than 5 feet apart. It is practically immune from Cucumber 

 diseases, is very prolific and early. A very shy seeder. Price, 

 15c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



Vickery's Forcing Cucumber. 



This variety is considered by all who have tried it to be an 

 ideal forcing Cucumber, although it is equally good for outdoor 

 cultivation, fruits are longer than Early White Spine from which 

 it originated, with slight taper at both ends, its wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness and rich dark green color make it unsurpassed as a 

 Market Gardener's or Trucker's Cucumber. {See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. oz., 45c. \ lb., $1.60 lb.
