The "Henderson ' White Spine Cucumber
EXTRA EARLY
HEALTHY
PROLIFIC
HANDSOME
THE FINEST FOR SLICING
Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in
the White Spine family. It is early, prolific and produces a
continuous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical 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; the flesh is compact, fine grained, sparkling white and
of most refreshing and delightful flavor. The vines are vigorous,
quite healthy, and mildew-proof, maintaining their luxuriance and
bearing abundantly from the earliest to the latest season. In
every respect this variety is without a peer. (See cut.) Price,

" Your Henderson White Spine Cucumber was the best in this vicinity. "
WHIPPLE BROTHERS, Beaufort, S. C. .
"I must compliment you on your strain of White Spine Cucumber — the Henderson.
I picked Cucumbers on May 28th from vines that were not above the ground
April 16th." C. H. KENNERLY, Palatka, Fla.
"From one packet of your Henderson White Spine Cucumber I sold over eleven
dollars' worth of Cucumbers last season. Your Ponderosa took 1st premium at
the Newport Country Fair." F. W. SMITH, Newport, R. 1.
"Your Henderson 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."

"I have been raising Cucumbers for IB years and always had trouble in getting
good seed until I tried your Henderson White Spine which proved exceedingly prolific
and attracted the attention of my neighbors by its superior quality."
W. J. LOUDERBOUGH, Daisy, La.
"Let me add here that we were very well pleased with the Henderson White Spine
Cucumber. It is a wonder, in proof of which we intend planting it largely this year. "

HENDERSON'S COOL AND CRISP CUCUMBER
Extra Early : Exceedingly Prolific : : Bears the Whole Season
An 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 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,
! *tw the flesh being remarkably firm and crisp;
j&^ it also yields a good number of fruits
^^ for pickling, and holds its crop for an
'X unusually long period. (See cut.)
