VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES ^ 





:: EGG PLANT. :: 



Henderson's Improved New York Spineless. 



A vastly superior type ; the plants are of low, stocky, branch- 

 ing habit and absolutely free from spines. It is a very early and 

 continuous producer of handsome purple fruits of the largest size 

 and finest quality; the plants usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits 

 before being killed by frost. Such fruits as are large enough may 

 be picked and stored in a warm, dry place at the approach of 

 frost}' nights, and thev will keep in good condition for some time. 

 (See'cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 y± lb., $5.00 lb. 



' 'Our Egg Plants are the finest grown on the Island, and an enormous yield." 

 Rev. W. JONES BATEMAN, St. George's Rectory, Granada, W. I. 



GREEN CURLED ENDIVE. 



One of the best salads, especially when blanched; 

 also much used for garnishing; if boiled, makes fine 

 "greens." Successive sowings furnish a supply almost 

 the year round. A popular sort with finely cut leaves. 

 Our strain is a long-standing type. It is large, hardy 

 and practically all heart, requiring but little aid in 

 blanching it. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. 34 lb., 

 $2.50 lb. 



SHORTLEAVED 

 Early White Vienna KohLRabi. 



Kohl-Rabi is a bulbous formed vegetable much ap- 

 preciated in Europe and too little known in America. 

 It is usually cooked before fully grown, when it is tender 

 and excellent. This new variety is one of the best, 

 being very early, rapid growing, tender and delicately 

 flavored. Its short leaves permit close planting and 

 adapts it for frame culture and forcing. Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 U lb., $3.50 lb. 



KALE OK 



BORECOLE 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" 

 during the fall, winter and spring ; also 

 used small, like spinach ; also useful in 

 garnishing. The plants are hardy above 

 zero ; frost improves the quality. The 

 leaves are very large, deeply curled and 

 fringed, and of that desirable rich bright 

 green color ; the plants are of very 

 dwarf, even growth, the leaves hugging 

 the ground, so that they are not broken 

 off by heavy, wet snow, as often 

 happens with taller types. (See cut.) 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz.,"30c. i 4 ' lb. 80c. lb. 



"Your Dwarf Scotch Kale is as fine today as in 

 the fall, and has been out all winter, and for one 

 week the thermometer went 30 degrees below zero." 

 R. R. BRUCE, Peterboro, B. C, Can.
