more for your seed than run the risk of obtaining an inferior grade. 1 am the largest cucumber 
planter in this section,and It would do you good to see a shipment of the ‘cukes' I raise, and I 
always have to say, when referring to my best lots. * these are of Veter Henderson's seed."'

IMPROVED EARLY WHITE SPINE. One of the most popular 
varieties, both for marketing and table use. Vines vigorous, fruiting early 
and abundantly, fruit uniformly straight and handsome, light green, with 
a few white spines, flesh crisp and of fine flavor. Largely grown for 
forcing, and extensively grown in the South for shipping to the Northern 
markets early in the season. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 
(See cut No. 6.) 
LIVINGSTON S EVERGREEN. This new variety is proving of great 
value. It is very hardy, and probably the most prolific of all varieties. 
In addition to being so wonderfully prolific, it Is very early, and the 
cucumbers retain their beautiful green color longer than any other sort. 
It is one of the very best varieties for slicing, as it is very crisp and of 
good quality, and as it produces fruits of medium size it is likely to be of 
much value for pickling purposes. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 
NEW EVER-BEARING. The peculiar merit of this variety lies in the 
fact that the vines flower and produce fruit continuously until killed by 
frost. They exhibit at the same time cucumbers in every stage of growth, 
but invariably of perfect form, even when very small. The cucumbers 
are of a fine green color, and are desirable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 
20 c. 34 lb., 60c. lb. , 
NICHOL S MEDIUM GREEN. Woconsider this a most valuable variety. 
As a pickle sort it will be found unequaled, and for early forcing, or slicing, 
there is no better. It is exceedingly productive, of medium-size, and 
always straight and smooth. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. J4 lb., 55c. 
lb. (See cut No. 3d 
EXTRA EARLY GREEN PROLIFIC. Same as a good stock 
of Green Prolific, but from ten days to two weeks earlier. Those 
who grow exclusively for pickling will find in this something 
they have long desired. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 60c. lb. 
(See cut No. 5.) 
LONG GREEN. Long fruit of excellent quality. Dark green, 
Arm and crisp. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 
JAPANESE CLIMBING. While all cucumbers are running 
vines, yet this variety is much more creeping, or climbing, in its 
habit, so much so that it quickly climbs on poles or trellises in 
the same manner as the Pole Lima Bean. It is entirely distinct. 
The quality is splendid. It is well adapted for pickling, as well 
as for slicing for salads. The great advantage of having a 
cucumber which can be trained on a pole or a fence will be 
apparent to all. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. 34 lb-, $1.25 lb. 
“I don't think I ever got more satisfaction for ten cents than that 
sent for a package of Japanese Climbing Cucumbers, of which I have 
planted a few hills every spring,and find them strictly first-class in every 
particular. One great feature is that a hill requires no more space than 
a hill of beans."
