The "Henderson" 



Perfected 

 White Spine 



Cucumber 



CUCUMBER perfection has been at 

 tained in this grand improv 

 ment in the White Spine 

 family. It is an early, prolifr 

 and continuous producer of 

 uniformly large and sym 

 metrical fruits of an in- 

 tensely rich, deep green 

 color, faintly marked 

 with light yellowish 

 shading towards the tip. 

 It runs very close to 

 type, bearing practi- 

 cally 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 , main- 

 taining their fresh luxuri- 

 ance and bearing from the earli 

 est to the latest season. Either 

 for the home garden or for market 

 this variety is without a peer. {See

"Your Henderson Cucumber was grand. I have grown Cucumbers for 20 years and never 

 saw its equal. The deep color, large size and even shape attract attention. It is also very 

 prolific." SAMUEL L. COLBERT, Louisville, Ky. 



"/ plo.nted 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." J. D. THOMPSON , Yonkers, N . Y. 



"As for the Henderson Cucumber it is a wonder in proof of which I intend planting it

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 

 few but large "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. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 40c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



"/ must say a few words in regard to your Cool and Crisp Cucumber. It is a 

 very superior variety. I started the seeds in a cold frame, and had them early, and 

 they continued to bear the whole season until frost killed the innes. I never saw such a 

 bearer, and, considering the dry season, it astonished everybody." 



JAS. L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 



"I planted your Cool and Crisp Cucumber on the same day as White Spine, gave 

 them the same treatment, and picked them 9 days ahead of the White Spine. I 

 found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good-flavored. I can 

 recommend it as a good cucumber." 



P. N. CHEEVER, Cold Spring, L. I.. N. Y. 



Henderson's Improved E^ Plant, New York spineless 



A vastly superior type; the plants are of low, stocky, branch- 

 ing habit and absolutely free from spines. It is a very early and 

 continuous producer of handsome purple fruits of the largest size 

 and finest quality; the plants usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits 

 before being killed by frost. Such fruits as are large enough may be 

 picked and stored in a warm, dry place at the approach of frosty 

 nights, and thev will keep in good condition for some time. (See
