NEW YORK 
SPINELESS 
EOG PLANT. 
The “Henderson” Cucumber 
C UCUMBER perfection has been at¬ 
tained in this grand improve¬ 
ment in the White Spine 
family. It is an early, prolific 
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 practic¬ 
ally no misshaped fruit 
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, main¬ 
taining their fresh luxuri¬ 
ance and bearingfromtheearli- 
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 evert shape attract attention. It is also very 
; prolific.” SAMUEL L. COLBERT, Louisville, Ky. 
“/ planted 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 ami good-flavored. I can recommend it.” J. D. THOMPSON , Yonkers, N. Y. 
“.-Is for the Henderson Cucumber it is a wonder, in proof of which I intend planting it 
largely the comini season.” W. II. DAN I ELL, Madison, Conn. 
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 an intense 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 vines. I never saw such a 
bearer, and, considering the dry season, it astonished everybody.” 
JAS.L. BA LMER, Marysville, Mich. 
*1 planted your Cool and Crisp Cucumber on the same day as White Sjrine, 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 sweet-flavored. I can 
recommend it as a good cucumber.”

Henderson’s Improved Egg 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 they will keep in good condition for some time. {See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 1 lb., $4.50 lb. 
‘ * Our Egg Plants are the finest grown on the Island, and an enormous yield”
