THE FINEST FOR SLICING 
C UCUMBER perfection has been 
attained in this grand improve¬ 
ment in the White vSpine 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. y± lb., $1.75 lb. 
“ 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 lime. " 
F. T. EMERSON, Fremont, Neb. 
“/ have been raising cucumbers for 15 years and 
always had trouble in getting good seed until 1 tried 
your Perfected While Spine which proved exceed¬ 
ingly prolific and attracted the attention of my neigh¬ 
bors by its superior quality. ” 
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 intend planting it largely this 
year.” W. H. DANIEL, Madison, Conn.

The Davis Perfect Cucumber 
Phis 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. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. 34 lb., $1.50 lb. 
Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber 
EXTRA EARLY EXCEEDINGLY PROLIFIC 
BEARS THE WHOLE SEASON 
A N extra early, exceedingly prolific and continuous- 
bearing varietv; 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. 
34 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 and Crisp Cucumber is a 
very superior variety, early, and bears the 
whole season. I never saw such a bearer. ”
