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. (See cut.) Price,

PRAISE FOR HENDERSON'S WHITE SPINE 



" Your Henderson White Spine Cucumber was the best in this vicinity. " 



WHIPPLE BROTHERS, Beaufort, S. C. . 

 "I must compliment you on your strain of White Spine Cucumber — the Henderson. 

 I picked Cucumbers on May 28th from vines that were not above the ground 

 April 16th." C. H. KENNERLY, Palatka, Fla. 



"From one packet of your Henderson White Spine Cucumber I sold over eleven 

 dollars' worth of Cucumbers last season. Your Ponderosa took 1st premium at 

 the Newport Country Fair." F. W. SMITH, Newport, R. 1. 



"Your Henderson 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. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb. 

 "I have been raising Cucumbers for IB years and always had trouble in getting 

 good seed until I tried your Henderson White Spine which proved exceedingly prolific 

 and attracted the attention of my neighbors by its superior quality." 



W. J. LOUDERBOUGH, Daisy, La. 

 "Let me add here that we were very well pleased with the Henderson White Spine 

 Cucumber. It is a wonder, in proof of which we intend planting it largely this year. " 



W. H. DANIEL, Madison, Conn. 



HENDERSON'S COOL AND CRISP CUCUMBER 



Extra Early : Exceedingly 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, 



! *tw the flesh being remarkably firm and crisp; 



j&^ it also yields a good number of fruits 



^^ for pickling, and holds its crop for an 



'X unusually long period. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. 

 lb., $1.50 lb.
