PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Make Your Garden Work Full Time 



The seeds you have purchased from us so far were in all probability intended :' 

 sowing only. We want to remind you that you can make your garden work for you bo1 

 SPRING, in the SUMMER, and in the FALL and keep right on up to frost, the goo: 

 providing an abundant supply of fresh vegetables for your table. Thousands of suburban 

 who formerly purchased their vegetables from the nearest store, have been driven by the 

 prices and the scarcity to raise their own supplies of vegetable foods. And further than that they 

 now appreciate the fact that there is the greatest difference in the world between home-;; 

 vegetables gathered fresh in the morning, crisp and tender, and those that have _ made a long 

 journey in wagons to the wholesale market, and then in the grocer's wagon to his store b 

 completing the last lap to the consumer. 



Early planting is of course necessary for 

 varieties which need a long season in which to 

 mature, but there are varieties which neec 

 a short growing period and these shou' 

 chosen for summer or fall planting. They 

 designated in our catalogue as "early" and are 

 the result of experimental work in our trial 

 grounds extending over a period of seventy-five 

 years. It will be found that all of these may 

 safely be planted in the summer and early fall. 



Below we print a list of vegetable seeds especi- 



uitable for sowing in June, July, August and 



September in the latitude of Xew York. Note 



that we give the last date on which they may be 



in one column and in the next the number 



of days they require for maturity. 



If you know about what date the first killing 

 frost comes in your section, you can easily de- 

 termine what kinds to sow to succeed your 

 first crops.
