PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



HENDERSON'S TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS, 



FOK SUMMER SOWING. 



Henderson's Black Valentine 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN. 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valentine, 

 and the pod is fully one-third longer. In addition it has other 

 valuable points. The pods are extra long, round, straight and 

 tender, and of a beautiful soft green color. It is also equally 

 early, but has another advantage in that it is more suitable 

 for late planting. In a test of the Extra Early Refugee, Hender- 

 son's Earliest Red Valentine and Black Valentine, conducted 

 in the fall, we found that Black Valentine was fully as useful 

 as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as hardy in every re- 

 spect as the Refugee, while the beans were produced in enormous 

 quantities. For any purpose, or at any time of the year, the 

 bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all classes of growers.

Detroit Dark Red Beet. 



Probably the best of the larger sorts. It succeeds equally 

 well at all seasons, and is one of the best to sow in early spring 

 to succeed the extra early and medium crop sorts. It may be 

 sown about August 1st (in this vicinity) for a crop to store for 

 winter. The flesh is solid, always tender, of good flavor and 

 excellent color. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. % lb., $1.50 lb. 



HENDEKSON'S 



Early Blood Turnip Beet. 



This is a great improvement upon the old standard variety 

 Early Blood Turnip Beet. It is a great favorite with many 

 gardeners and is very attractive in appearance, the roots being 

 smooth and uniform, and the color deep blood red. The flesh 

 is tender and sweet, and it is an excellent variety for canning. 



This variety should be sown for a late crop on account of 

 its quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is unexcelled
