W. H. DANI ELL, Madison, Conn. 



Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in the White 

 spine family. It is early, and produces an enormous crop of uniformly large 

 and symmetrical fruits of an extremely attractive color, with faint yellowish 

 shading towards the blossom end. It runs very close to type, bearing 

 practically no misshapen fruits or culls. It is the ideal for slicing, the flesh 

 being compact, fine grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and 

 delightful flavor. The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew proof, 

 maintaining their fresh 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 of the " Henderson " Perfected White Spine Cu- 

 cumber, 15c. oz., 45c. | lb., $1.40 lb. (25 lb. lots, $1.30 lb.) 



— Arlington = 

 White Spine Cucumber. 



A very fine selection of White Spine, having many sterling 

 qualities such as earliness, handsome shape, medium size, even 

 dark green color and productiveness. The vines are healthy 

 and vigorous ensuring a great number of good marketable fruit, 

 with few culls. It is certainly a fine variety for the trucker. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 25c. J lb., 70c. lb. 



"1 am shipping Arlington White Spine Cucumber from your seed to the New 

 York market, where il commands the very highest figure. Your strain is certainly 

 very fine." D. T. WEST, Charleston, S. C. 



The Davis Perfect Cucumber. 



This comparatively new cucumber produces slim sym- 

 metrical fruits 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 ap- 

 parent freshness long after being cut, rendering it a good ship- 

 ping and market variety. The flesh is of fine quality and solid 

 for one third the length from the stem end — the small seed cav- 

 ity 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 diseases, is very prolific and early. A very shy 

 seeder. Price, 15c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



Vickery's Forcing Cucumber. 



This variety is considered by all who have tried it to be an 

 ideal forcing Cucumber, although it is equally good for outdoor 

 cultivation, fruits are longer than Early White Spine from which 

 it originated, with slight taper at both ends, its wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness and rich dark green color make it unsurpassed as a 

 Market Gardener's or Trucker's Cucumber. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. \ lb., $2.00 lb.
