The "Henderson" Perfected NA/hite Spine Cucumber 



::: EXTRA EARLY ::: 

 HEALTHY ^^ PROLIFIC 

 ::: HANDSOME ::: 



THE FINEST FOR SLICING • 



CUCUMBER perfection has been 

 attained in this grand improve- 

 ment in the White Spine family. It 

 is an early, prolific and continuous 

 producer of uniformly large and sym- 

 metrical 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 

 — flesh being compact, fine-grained, 

 sparkling white and of most refresh- 

 ing 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 variety is 

 without a peer. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $1.75 lb. 



" Your Perfected White Spine is the most 

 uniformly beautiful type of cucumber 1 have ever 

 see7i, and its deep green color is retained for an 

 unusual length of time. " 



F. T. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb. 



"I have been raising cucumbers for IS years and 

 always had trouble in getting good seed until I tried 

 your Perfected White Spine which proved exceed- 

 ingly prolific and attracted the attention of my neigh- 

 bors by its superior qtialitv. " 



W. J. LOUDERBOUGH, Daisy, La. 



"Let me add here that we were very well pleased 

 ■with the Henderson Cucumber. It is a wonder, in 

 proof of which we i^ttend planting it largely this 

 year." W. H. DANIEL, Madison, Conn.

The Davis Perfect Cucumber 



THIS comparatively new Cucumber produces slim symmetrical fruit 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 apparent 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 disease, is- very prolific and early. A very shy seeder. Price, 10c.

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 selec- 

 tion 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, the flesh being remarkably firm and 

 crisp; it also yields a good number of 

 fruits for pickling, and holds its crop 

 for an unusually long period. {See 

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

 yi lb., $1.50 lb. 



"My Cool and Crisp Cucumbers were 

 excellent. I never had such good results 

 before. " H..A LLERTON , Derby Line, Vt. 

 " Your Cool ajid Crisp Cucumber is a 

 very superior variety, early, and bears the 

 whole season. I never saw such a bearer. "
