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 ap- 

 parent freshness long after being cut, rendering 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 growers that they should not be planted for 

 best results nearer than 5 feet apart. It is practically immune 

 from Cucumber diseases, is verv prolific and earlv. A very shy 

 seeder. Price, 15c. oz., 40c. fib., $1.20 lb. 



Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in 

 the White spine family. It is early, and produces an enor- 

 mous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an 

 extremely attractive color, with faint yellowish shading to- 

 wards 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 with- 

 out a peer. (See cut.) Price of the "Henderson" Perfected 

 White Spine Cucumber, 15c. oz., 45c. J lb., SI. 40 lb.
