HENDERSON’S NEW YORK MARKET has more good points 
than any other existing sort. The color is bright orange and most 
attractive. It has the minimum of core, and is crisp, tender and 
sweet. Itis one of the heaviest cropping varieties and of sym- 
metrical shape and handsome appearance, an admirable variety 
to bunch for market, as well as being unexcelled for private use.
