HENDERSON'S 



Long Season Spinach. 



CPINACH 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" maybe enjoyed not only during cool weather 



months, but in the summer 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 enable them to "stand up" in hot 



L weather, retaining their freshness for a long period after 



cutting. There is no other variety that will stand so long 



without running 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. 



/"VNE 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 good 

 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.)

SWISS CHARD, 



or Silver Leaf Beet. 



This type of beet is grown for its large, suc- 

 culent, tender leaves and stems, which, boiled 

 like spinach, are much esteemed as a fresh 

 vegetable or "greens" for summer and autumn 

 use. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. \ lb., 75c. lb.

LONG ISLAND 



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 

 scallops, consequently are easier prepared, 

 contain less waste and almost twice the 

 amount of flesh, which is also of finer quality. 

 The plants are of the true bush habit. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. \ lb., 

 $1.00 lb.
