241 RIVIERA (Henderson's) 

 The Improved Italian Type 

 — -A Delicious Vegetable 



(See Color Plate, Page 58.) 

 Famed for its tender, delicious and 

 savory flavor, also for its healthful and 

 obesity-reducing qualities, and lastly 

 for its extreme ease of culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, 

 is branching in character, and each 

 branch terminates in a green sprout. 

 When the green sprouts, which are 

 actually a mass of flower buds, have 

 developed to two or three inches across 

 (and before the flowers appear), they 

 are ready for use. 



It thrives anywhere. For an early 

 crop, start the seed in a cold frame and 

 transplant seedlings in the open ground 

 after frost. 



For late crop, start seed in the open 

 ground during the early Summer 

 • months. It is cooked and served like 

 Cauliflower. 



Price, pkt., 25c; 14 oz., SI. 00; 

 oz.. SI. 75. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



242 LONG ISLAND STRAIN 



(A Special Dwarf Selection.) 



This is a fine strain of Sprouts, grown 

 extensively for the New York market, 

 where they bring a good price, espe- 

 cially during the winter. The plants 

 produce a large crop. (See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt., 25c; pz.. $1.50. 



245 DALKEITH (Henderson's) 



A very excellent selection of this 

 estimable vegetable. Sown in June 

 in the latitude of New York, it produces 

 an abundant crop of Sprouts — solid, 

 succulent and delicious — in the fall and 

 early winter. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; K lb., SI. 75. 



Xowhere does quality count for more than 

 in the strains of Vegetable Seeds, and par- 

 ticularly in the Brassica family, which is 

 represented by three important members on 

 this page: Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and 

 Cabbage. To the home gardener, it reflects 

 itself in delicious, fine flavored crops. To the 

 market, it is reflected in belter profits. 



CABBAGE 



EXTRA EARLY and 

 EARLY VARIETIES 



C ULT URE.- — For earliest crop, start seed in hotbed inFebruary, cover seed one-half inch. Trans- 

 plant in April, eighteen inches apart in rows and two feel between rows. For late crop start seeds in 

 May or June outdoors in good, rich soil and transplant in July. 



254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 

 (Henderson's) 



The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex- 

 cellent quality, quite free from the 

 coarse rankness so commonly associated 

 with Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston 

 Wakefield is larger, but fully equal in 

 quality to any of its class and admirably 

 suited to succeed the very early sorts. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50. 



259 EARLYKROP (Henderson's) 



One of the earliest round-headed Cab- 

 bages on the market. It finishes with 

 the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike 

 that type, it remains in perfect condition 

 on the field for a long time without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a 

 very desirable quality for the home 

 gardener who wants his crop to extend 

 over a long period of time. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., 90c; ,' 4 ' lb., $2.75. 



260 EARLY JERSEY 

 WAKEFIELD 

 (Henderson's Original) 



The Best First-Early, Pointed- 

 Head Cabbage 



The heads are pyramidal in shape, hav- 

 ing a blunted or rounded peak. It is 

 beyond question the best variety for 

 spring and early summer in the private 

 garden. Its first appearance brings a 

 welcome change from the hard-headed 

 winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield 

 is attractive in appearance and essentially 

 good in quality. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; M lb., S1.S0. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round- 

 headed variety resembling Early Market 

 in shape and type, but is smaller. It is 

 also eight to ten days earlier than that 

 well-known variety. It will remain on 

 the field for a long time without bursting 

 or bolting to seed. (See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt., 10c; os., 75c; H lb., $2.00. 



262 EARLY MARKET 

 (Henderson's) 



A Very Desirable, Early, Round- 

 Headed Variety 

 The plant is small, with short stem, and 

 few outer leaves. These have the ex- 

 cellent habit of curving inward, thus 

 providing protection to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine 

 quality and tenderness will be greatly 

 appreciated. There is an entire absence 

 of coarse veins and leaves, and it has 

 the quality peculiar to some of the best 

 sorts of hardening the head before it 

 has attained its full size. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 75c; K lb., $2.00. 



273 PREMIER (Henderson's) 



It is the earliest of all the round-headed 

 varieties, fully 3 to 4 days earlier than 

 Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, 

 the plant is more compact; it can there- 

 fore be planted closer than other sorts, 

 so that quality cabbage can be grown 

 in even the smallest garden. The heads 

 are very firm, and the quality is de- 

 licious, tender and succulent. (See 

 Illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 20c; oz., 90c; y* lb., $2.75. 



275 RESISTANT GOLDEN 

 ACRE 



This strain has proven highly resistant to 

 "yellows" and has made it possible for 

 growers to produce a good crop of early 

 Cabbage in many areas infested with this 

 disease. The heads closely resemble our 

 strain of regular Golden Acre, but mature 

 a day or two later. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; % lb., $3.00.
