The ''Henderson ' Perfected \A/hite Spine Cucumber 



"Let me add here that we were lery well pleased with the Hen- 

 derson Cucumber. It is a wonder in proof of which we intend 

 planting it largely this year." W. H. DANIELL. 



Madison, Conn. 



"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. EMERSOX. Fremont. Neb. 



THE FINEST FOK SLICING 



CUCUMBER perfection has been attained in this grand improvement 

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

 producer of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely 

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

 ward the tip. It runs verj' close to type, bearing practical!}' no 

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

 tine-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. Jl lb., $1.75 lb. 



Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber 



Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the 

 Whole Season! 



AN extra early, exceedingly prolific and contin- 

 uous-bearing variety; a very distinct and 

 attracti^'e 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. I4 lb., $1.50 lb. 



"My Cool and Crisp Cucumbers were excellent. I never 

 had such good results before." 



H. .ALLERTON, Derby Line. Vt. 



Your Cool and Crisp Cucumber is a very superior variety, 

 early, and bears the whole season. I never saw such a bearer. "
