The "Henderson' White Spine Cucumber 



EXTRA EARLY 



HEALTHY 



PROLIFIC :: HANDSOME 



THE FINEST FOR SLICING 



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.

"From one packet of Henderson's White Spine Cucumber I have grown 

 1.000 cucumbers some weighing as much as 2 lbs. each." 

 Oct. 25. 1917. J. KELLER, Havemeyer St.. Brooklyn. N. Y. 



"Your While Spine Cucumber is certainly fine. Last year I planted a 

 packet, from the product of which I sold S6.06 -^orth, not to mention having 

 sufficient for making 20 quarts of first-class pickles." 



March 20. 1917. R. BAERMAX. Rushford, Minn. 



"We were much pleased with the seeds brought from Henderson's last year. 

 One of the good things was the While Spine Cucumber, and it was the first lime 

 we ever grew good cucumbers." 

 March 2, 1917. Miss ANGIE BOUGHNER. Sistersrille, W. Va. 



"On June 2nd last year, we purchased from you fire pounds of Henderson's 

 White Spine Cucumber seed. We planted this seed together with twenty-five 

 or thirty pounds from other seedsmen and we think it only fair that we should 

 tell you of the great superiority of your seed over that purchased elsewhere. 

 The seed we received from you developed good dark green cukes, fine shape, 

 few culls, vrnes strong and healthy. Surely in these days when so much inferior 

 seed of all kinds is sold to us farmers, it is a pleasure to be able to speak in such 

 high praise of the way your cucumber seed grew for us last season.

An extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-

 than most sorts, tapering at each end, slightly ridged 

 throughout, with but few '•knobs."

 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 



fc^^ for pickling and holds its crop for an unusually 



long period. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 



25c. oz., 85c. }i lb., $3.00 lb.

 fruits they bear."
