VEGETABLE 
Vegetable Gardening is a profitable and pleasurable occupation. There is no food in all the world 
that can compare with the fresh vegetables from your own garden 
Our Prices Have Been Reduced to the Lowest Point, Consistent 
with the Production of Quality Seeds 
The varieties of vegetable seeds offered on this and the following pages are the highest developments in their respective classes and have 
by rigid tests, as required for the Henderson Standard of Excellence, proven their worth to occupy space in this catalog. Many of them 
are varieties that were originated by us during the ninety-ihree years of our existence, and which today are household words through- 
out the vast expanse of this great land. Pas : 
It has always been our aim to describe all of our offerings accurately and truthfully, which in many cases has necessitated a rather 
long description. This year we have reduced them, so that the outstanding facts concerning a variety may be seen at a glance. 
CULTU RE—Asparagus may be grown in almost any 
soil or situation, but spectal success is attained in thor-

improve with age. lasting for many years. Asparagus may

ing roots. For complete cultural instructions, send for pamphlet ‘‘Asparagus Culture.”

A dwarf form of Kentucky Wonder. This alone should be suffi- 
cient recommendation for this new addition to our offering of 
delectable table beans. The climbing or pole strain of Kentucky 
Wonder has enjoyed popular favor in the gardens of America dur- 
ing the past half century. The plants of Commodore are vigorous. 
The pods are 8 to 9 inches long, nearly straight, fleshy, distinctly 
fine flavored, brittle and stringless. (See Illustration.) 
Price, pkt., 15c; % lb, 45c; lb., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.60. 
eer: 
This new variety was outstanding from every standpoint in our 
trials last season. The plant is large, medium dark green, excep- 
tionally vigorous, highly productive, and from our observations last 
season, appears to be more resistant to disease than most varieties. 
The pods are quite similar to Bountiful, measuring 61% to 7 inches, 
long, but not quite as wide and slightly darker green, straight, 
flat, entirely stringless, and of the highest quality. 
Price, pkt., 15c; % lb., 35c; Ib., 60c; 2 Ibs., $1.10; 8 Ibs., $4.00.
