The^Henderson Peffected White Spine Cucumber. 
“ I have been raising cucumbers 15 years and find your Perfected 
While Spine the best I ever raised , exceedingly prolific and of su¬ 
perior quality." W. J. LOUDERBOUGH, Daisy, La. 
“ 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. 
“7 must compliment you on your White Spine Cucumber, the 
Henderson Perfected Strain. 7 picked cucumbers on May 28th 
from vines that were not above the ground on April 15th." 
C. H. KENNERLY, Palatka , Fla. 
“7 planted your Henderson Cucumber the same day as the old 
White Spine, and picked Henderson's 5 days ahead of the other. 7 
found them wonderfully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good- 
flavored. I can recommend it." 
f. D. THOMPSON , Yonkers, N. Y. 
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¬ 
wards 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 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. }/{ lb., $1.75 lb. 
Henderson's Cool and Crisp Cucumber. 
Extra Early! Exceedingly Prolific! Bears the Whole Season! 
A N 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 pick¬ 
ling, and holds its crop for an unusually long 
period. ( See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 
50c. 34 lb., $1.50 lb. 
“With your Cucumber * Cool and Crisp' I was a couple of 
weeks ahead of my neighbors." 
SAME BULLOCK , 
1679 Taylor Place, Williamsport, Pa. 
“ 7 must say a few words in regard to your Cool and 
Crisp Cucumber. It is a very superior variety. 1 started 
the seeds in a cold frame, and had them early, and they 
continued to bear the whole season until frost killed the vines. 
I never saw such a bearer, and, considering the dry season . it 
astonished everybody. ” 
J AS. L. BALMER, Marysville, Mich. 
“ 7 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 xuonder- 
fully prolific, of rich green color, crisp and good -flavored. I 
can recommend it as a good cucumber."
