HENDERSON'S 



Long Season Spinach. 



CPIN'ACH is most extensively grown during the 

 'winter and spring months, for the reason that the 

 plants quickly run to seed in hot weather. With 

 our new Long Season variety, Spinach may now be 

 continuously grown in any home garden, so that this 

 most delicious of "boiling greens" may be enjoyed 

 not only during cool weather months, but in the sum- 

 mer as well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender 

 and succulent, crumpled leaves of intensely dark green 

 color; their great substance and short leaf stalks en- 

 able them to "stand up" in hot weather, retaining 

 their freshness for a long period after cutting. There 

 is no other variety that will stand so long without run- 

 ning to seed and remain in an edible condition. It 

 is the best variety to be sown in the spring, and at 

 monthly intervals for a successional summer supply.

Mammoth Sandwich Island 



Oyster Plant or Salsify 



f~)NE of the most delicious of winter vegetables, 

 and also one of the most nutritious ; the flavor 

 is sweet and highly esteemed whether served boiled 

 with butter or other suitable sauce, or sliced and 

 fried, or used in soup. 



This new variety, where known, is entirely super- 

 seding the old type, as it produces roots nearly 

 double the size and weight and of equally goo<" 

 quality. Seed sown in spring produces large, fine 

 roots that may remain in the ground all winter or 

 may be dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem- 

 ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, to be 

 used as desired during the winter. {See cut.)

Long Island ^r^ 77 ^ 

 White Bush Squash. 



The white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cym- 

 ling" has for years been a favorite summer 

 Squash, on account of its earliness, etc., but 

 this new sort is a vast improvement ; it is 

 nearly as early, more prolific and the squashes 

 are much deeper, and have less prominent 

 consequently are easier prepared, contain less waste and almost twice the 



of flesh, which is also of finer quality. The plants are of the true bush habit.
