SOW VEGETABLE SEEDS — NOW 

 ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE VEGETABLES THROUGHOUT THE LATE SUMMER AND FALL 



Many of the spring sown vegetable crops have finished pro- 

 ducing, and they should be removed from the ground. Why 

 not use that space to produce more crops of your favorite vege- 

 tables? Not all varieties of the same vegetable are suitable for 

 summer sowing. In this catalogue we list only those varieties 

 which have demonstrated their ability to produce good yields 

 under normal late summer weather conditions. 

 The products of our home gardens are still vitally needed to 

 balance the Nation's food supply. Can as much as you can. 



Henderson's Famous Tested Vegetable Seeds 

 Are Delivered Transportation Paid in the U.S.A. 



A continuous supply of most vegetables may be had from your garden 

 until frost, by making successive plantings at intervals of a week to ten days. 

 The varieties chosen for late sowing, should be early types, because they come 

 to maturity quicker than the late varieties. In the latitude of New York City, 

 plantings may be made up to the following dates: 



Beans Augt. 1st Sweet Corn ...July 15th

All Gardeners of Experience know that success with seeds depends largely 

 on weather conditions and proper cultivation, so in accordance with the uni- 

 versal custom of the trade Peter Henderson & Co. gives no warranty, express 

 or implied, as to the productiveness of any seeds or bulbs it sells and will not 

 be in any way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, is lim-

CULTURE — Asparagus may be grown in almost any soil or situation, 

 but special success is attained in thoroughly enriched, deeply dug 

 sandy loam. Beds cared for improve with age, lasting for many 

 years. Asparagus may be grown from seed, but as it should not be 

 cut before it is three or four years old, time is saved by buying and 

 planting roots. For complete cultural instructions, send for 

 pamphlet "Asparagus Culture." 



One to two years' time is saved by planting roots, which we can 

 supply from November 1st to May 15th. One hundred roots will plant 

 a plot 6 ft. x 50 ft. which is enough for an average family. 

 ORDERS BOOKED NOW FOR DELIVERY AFTER NOVEMBER 1st 

 To points within the latitude of Baltimore and 

 throughout the Southern States. 



GIANT WASHINGTON 



Some varieties of Asparagus seem to be afflicted with rust, but 

 Giant Washington — developed under the auspices of the United 

 States Agricultural Department — is declared to be peculiarly im- 

 mune from this disease. The shoots are of giant size, very vigorous, 

 straight, and what is still more important, of good quality. Dark 

 green tinged with purple.
