PETER HENDERSON & GO'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



New Lettuce— Salamander. 



The culture of this valuable new sort had been 

 entirely monopolized for several years by our Hud- 

 son County (N. J.) Market Gardeners, until two 

 years ago, when we offered it for general distribu- 

 tion. The Salamander is the best variety for sum 

 mer use, forming good-sized, compact heads; color 

 light green outside and white on the inside. Its 

 great merit, however, is that it will withstand 

 drought and heat, and remain longer in head than 

 any other variety ; this peculiarity has been fully 

 proven through two unexampled dry seasons. It 

 is very slow to run to seed, and to Market Gar- 

 deners is invaluable on account of its heat resisting 

 qualities. 



lo cts. per pkt.; 20 cts. per oz. 

 60 cts. per ^ lb.; $2.00 per lb. 



New Sweet Pepper— Golden 

 Dawn. 



A most beautiful and distinct n.w Pepper. In 

 shape and size it is very like the well known Large 

 Bell, but is of a much more delicate flavor, and the 

 color, of course, is altogether different, being of a 

 beautiful golden yellow. Altogether it is very 

 novel and distinct. 



10 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per oz.; $1.50 per ^ lb. 



New Pepper— Williams' Little 

 Gem. 



This novelty is of a dwarf branching habit, 

 scarcely exceeding g inches in height. The leaves 

 are small and oval-shaped. The fruit or berr'.es 

 arc of globular form, about the size of a red cur- 

 rant, and are of a brilliant scarlet hue. They are 

 produced in the greatest profusion, and, we think, 

 will be found most useful in prepartions of Pepper 

 Sauce. Besides, the plant is so beautiful that, when 

 grown in pots, it will always prove a splendid deco- 

 ration for the dinner table, or, in fact, in any situ- 

 ation where a beautiful effect is desired. 



Price, 50 cts. per pkt. 



Mangel Wurzel— Henderson's 

 Colossal Long Red. 



A very fine variety of Mangel Wurzel. The 

 roots are smooth and regular, and of the largest 

 size, and of blood-red color. The quality is ex- 

 ceedingly nutritious, and in all respects the variety 

 is most distinct and valuable. 



10 cts. per oz.; 20 cts. per ^ lb.; 60 cts. per lb. 



HAN'GEL WURZEL— GOLDEN TANKAED. 



Mangel Wurzel— Golden 

 Tankard. 



A very valuable variety, of fine form and of very 

 sweet flavor, and bright yellow in color. When 

 cut it shows interior rings similar to most varieties 

 of garden beet. 



10 cts. per oz.; 20 cts. per ^ lb.; 60 cts. per lb. 



New Dwarf Erfurt Kale. 



A new, very dwarf, fine curled variety of a yel- 

 lowish green color; grows very close to the ground. 

 IQ cts. per pkt.; 20 cts. per oz. 

 60 cts. per i lb.; $2.00 per lb.
