The "Henderson" Perfected White Spine Cucumber 
“ Let me add here that we were very well pleased with the Hen¬ 
derson Cucumber. It is a wonder in proof of \which we intend 
planting it largely this year." W. II. DAN I ELL, 
Madison, Conn. 
“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. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb.

THE FINEST FOK SLICING 
C UCUMBER 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¬ 
ward the tip. It runs very close to type, bearing practically no 
misshapen fruit or culls. It is the ideal for slicing—flesn 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 variety is without a peer. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. >4 lb., $1.75 lb. 
Henderson’s Cool and Crisp Cucumber 
Extra Early] Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the 
Whole Season! 
AN extra early, exceedingly prolific and contin- 
** uous-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 through¬ 
out, 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 pick¬ 
ling, and holds its crop for an unusually long 
period. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 
50c. M lb., $1.50 lb. 
"My Cool and Crisp Cucumbers were excellent. I never 
had such good results before." 
II. ALLERTON, Derby Line, Vt. 
“ Your Cool and Crisp Cucumber is a very superior variety, 
early, and bears the whole season. I never saw such a bearer." 
JAMES. L. BA LMER, Marysville, Mich.
