Grow The “Henderson” Cucumber 
and Enjoy Perfection in Cucumbers 
| The “Henderson” Cucumber 
_The Finest for Slicing—Extra Early—Healthy Vines 
| Prolific—Handsome 
| 416—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. Itis 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 engraving.) Price, 10c pkt.; 25c oz.; 75c

HENDERSON’S 
Cool and Crisp Cucumber 
The Best for Pickling—Firm and Crisp—Very Prolific 
Bears the Whole Season 
392—An extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous-bearing variety; a very distinct 
and attractive selection of the old White Spine class; the shape is unique, rather long 
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 engraving.) Price, 10c pkt.; 25c oz.; 75c 14 |b.; $2.00 Ib.

“Vou will be Bpoeioil B know, though nov surprised, that the seeds bought of you last year did finely. The White Spine Og paid the entire expense of
