PETER HENDERSON & CO.— VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



FILDERKRAUT CABBAGE. 



This somewhat resembles the well known "Winningstadt, but 

 is larger in every way, more pointed, and heads up with fewer 

 outside leaves. Largely grown for making kraut. 

 6 cts. per pkt.; 20 cts.'per oz.; 75cts. per % lb.; $2.50 per lb. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



A variety of recent origin, but one that has become very 

 popular because of the following advantages. TVhile it is just 

 about as early as the Egyptian, it is better because it is larger 

 and of much finer quality. It makes a small top and produces 

 smooth growing, perfectly round Beets, the skin and flesh of 

 which are of dark crimson color. The fact is, the merit of the 

 Egyptian variety lies altogether in its extreme earliness, and 

 just as soon as other varieties mature no one wants it. so that 

 •if we have a variety such as the "Eclipse." that is almost as 

 early, with qualities that the Egyptian entirely lacks, it must to 

 a large extent supplant it. 

 10 cts. per pkt.; 20 cts. per oz.: 60 cts. per % lb.: $2.00 per lb. 



NEW DWARF VERY EARLY KALE. 



A new sort of special excellence, being a very dwarf fine 

 curled variety of a yellowish green color, growing Verv close to 

 the ground. 

 10 cts- per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz.; 80 cts. per % lb. ; $3.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S NEW ROSE CELERY. 



TVe hold the entire stock of this Xew Rose Celery, and which 

 we now offer for the first time in the undoubted belief that it 

 is certain to give universal satisfaction to all who will give it a 

 fair trial. Celery is now one of the leading table ornaments, 

 not only in our best hotels, but on private tables as well, and 

 this new rose color combined with the "TThite Plume" (sent 

 out by us for the first time last year), must add greatly to 

 the adornment of the table. All who have had experience in 

 the growing of Celery know that not only are all varieties that 

 are tinged with red hardier and more solid, and hence better 

 keepers in winter, but that they are always, under the same con- 

 ditions, more crisp and superior in flavor to the varieties that 

 blanch yellow or white. In Henderson's Sew Rose Celery we 

 have a combination of all these best qualities, and a delicacy 

 of shading in the beautiful rose coloring of the heart and stems 

 that gives us something entirely distinct and valuable in this 

 vegetable. We show this new variety in a Celery glass, ready 

 for the table, and in this connection it may not be out of place 

 to say that the flavor and crispness of all Celeries will be in- 

 creased if they are soaked in ice cold water for a short time 

 before serving on the table. 



Price, 25 cts. per pkt. 



; 5 pkts. for S1.00 ; per % oz., $1.75 ; 

 peroz., $3.00. 



EXTRA EARLY MILAN TURNIP. 



A remarkably early and distinct strap-leaved variety, coming 

 into use before any other sort, being a week or ten days earlier 

 than the ordinary early sorts. It is almost as early as the 

 Purple Top Munich, but unlike that variety, which soon 

 gets hot and bitter, this sort retains its good qualities, and 

 remains a long time fit for use. The bulbs are white, with a 

 purple top, round, flattened and solid, with a very slender tap 

 root; flesh pure white, sweet, crisp, and of excellent quality; the 

 leaves are strap-leaved, rather short, and the growth is verv 

 compact. 



5 cts. per pkt.; 15 cts. per oz.; 50 cts. per y lb.; $1.50 per lb.
