“5 ...PETER HENDERSON &CO.,NEW YORK-:: @ 
HENDERSON’S SUPERB........ 
w.-.4... NEW LETTUCE 
THE “WALDORE..” 
(Sent out by us last year as No. 2.) 
VERY valuable addition to our list of Lettuces, 
equally useful for forcing as for open-air cultiva- 
tion. The general color is a clear bright green, 
which is never bronzed by outdoor growth under any 
climatic conditions. It is medium in size, the entire 
plant measuring about ten inches in diameter. It hasa 
peculiar habit of heading, the head standing clear away 
from the outer leaves, which lie flat on the ground, a 
valuable feature for outside culture, securing an equable 
moisture around the root of the plant. It has but little 
stalk; the head is very solid. The leaves are thin, 
slightly crumpled, very crisp and entirely without that 
heavy veining which makes some of the best sorts bitter 
to the taste. Very valuable for growing under glass, 
where its delicacy of color and crispness are improved, 
making it a valuable acquisition to the market grower. 
(See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt. 
utton, FPAUL ROSE.’ 
HIS sort is a cross between the old Netted Gem and 
Osage (or Miller’s Cream) and combines in a remark- é 
able degree the good qualities of both. In our trials last season, we found it to be worthy of extended cultivation. Its value is 
primarily as a shipping variety, as the fruit grows very uniformly, and of an attractive and useful size for packing. It is a very heavy 
cropper, the vines are very healthy and robust, ripening an enormous number 
of fruits. The flesh is salmon colored, very deep and of fine melting character 
with thin tough rind and small seed cavity. The flavor is excellent, very sweet 
and rich. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. Vy lb. 
mao s SWEET HEART.” 
HIS sort is a perfect form of the round type of Ice Cream, but is 
so vastly improved as to make it thoroughly distinct. It is one 
of the earliest to ripen, making a grand second to our famous 
Cole’s Early. = 
The fruit is slightly oval in shape. The outer color is very bright, 
beautifully mottled light green. The rind is thin and tough, and 
stands shipping well, is an excellent keeper and improves in quality 
after ripening. The flesh is a light vivid red in color, very solid and 
crisp, and thoroughly melting. The flavor is exquisite, possessing 
not only sweetness, but that luscious flavor only found in the best 
sorts. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 lb., 60c. lb. 
Henderson’s New Pea.... “VICTORY.” 
(Sent out by us last year as No. 4.) 
DOES NOT MILDEW. VIGOROUS HEALTHY VINE. 
GRAND late variety of the Shropshire Hero class. The strong, healthy 
branching vines are so vigorous, that they must be planted thinly in order 
to secure best results. Its many good features have shown it to be 
worthy of addition to our list of Peas. A majority of amateur gardeners will 
always prefer a dwarf pea to a tall one, everything else being equal. The chief 
value of this sort lies in the fact that it prolongs successfully the bearing 
season of dwarf peas, and we can assure our customers that this new pea 
“Victory” extends the succession among dwarf peas as thoroughly as the suc- 
cession now exists among tall sorts, and it will now be possible to gather de- 
licious peas from the garden from either dwarf or tall varieties, right up to the 
time that Lima Beans come in. 
In addition to these remarkable qualities, it is entirely free from mildew, an 
evil so common among late peas, and is the peer of any variety for productive- 
ness, while the flavor of the peas is absolutely beyond criticism. It grows 
only to a height of 3 feet, so that it needs but little or no ‘‘ brushing.” The pod 
is handsome and always well filled with from 8 to 10 peas of most attractive 
color, size and flavor. (See cut.) Price, 15c. 14 pt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt.
