The rlenderson Perfected White Spine Cucumber 



" / have been raising cucumbers 15 years and find your Perfected 

 White Spine the best I ever raised, exceedingly prolific and of su- 

 perior quality." W. J '. LOVDERBOVGH. Daisy, La. 



" 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, Xeb. 



"I must compliment you on your White Spine Cucumber, tlie 

 Henderson Perfected Strain. I picked cucumbers on May 28th 

 from vines that were not above the ground on April loth." 



C. H. KEXXERLY, Palatka, Fla. 



"I planted your Henderson Cucumber the same day as the old 

 White Spine, and picked Henderson's 5 days ahead of the other. I 

 found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good- 

 flavored. I can recommend it."

THE FINEST FOR SLICING. 



CUCUMBER perfection has been attained in this grand improvement 

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

 producer of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an intensely 

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

 wards the tip. It runs very close to type, bearing practically no 

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

 fine-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. }. t lb., $1.75 lb. 



Cool and Crisp Cucumber. 



Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the Whole Season! 

 X extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-bearing variety; 

 very distinct and attractive selection of the White Spine class; 

 the shape is unique, rather longer than most sorts, tapering 

 h end, slightly ridged throughout, with few but 

 e "knobs." The color is beautiful dark green, 

 lading 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. M lb., $1.50 lb. 



"With your Cucumber 'Cool and Crisp' I was a couple of 

 weeks ahead of my neiglibors." 



SAUL BULLOCK. 

 1679 Taylor Place, WiUiamsport, Pa. 

 "I must say a few words in regard to vo:c 

 Crisp Cucumber. It is a very superior variety. 1 

 tlie seeds in a cold frame, and had them early, and 

 continued to bear tlie whole season u ntil frost kill' 

 I never saw such a bearer, and, considering the dl 

 astonished everybody. " 



JAS. L. BALMER. MarysvUU, M 

 "I planted your Cool and Crisp Cucumber on the same day 

 White Spine, gave them the same treatment, and 

 \ 9 days ahead of the White Spine. I found 

 prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good-flavored. I 

 can recommend it as a good cucumber
