EGG PLANT 



Henderson's Improved New York SpineleSS 



A vastly superior type ; the plants are of low, stocky, branch- 

 ing habit and absolutely free from spines. It is a very early and 

 continuous producer of handsome purple fruits of the largest size 

 and finest quality ; the plants usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits 

 before being killed by frost. Such fruits as are large enough may 

 be picked and stored in a warm, dry place at the approach of 

 frostv nights, and they will keep in good condition for some time. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 65c. oz., $1.75 \ lb., $6.50 lb. 



' 'Our Egg Plants are the finest grown on the Island, and an enormous yield." 

 Rev. W. JONES BAT EM AN, St. George's Rectory, Granada, W. I. 



BLACK BEAUTY 



A handsome, early, large variety of great merit; a prolific 

 producer of uniformly large, purple-black fruits of fine quality, 

 developing 'with rapidity and readv about two weeks earlier than 

 other large sorts. Price, 10c. pkL, 70c. oz., $2.00 \ lb., $7.00 lb. 



Green Curled ENDIVE 



One of the best salads, especially when blanched ; also 

 much used for garnishing; if boiled, makes fine "greens." 

 Successive sowings furnish a supply almost the year round. 

 A popular sort with finely cut leaves. Our strain is a 

 long-standing type. It is large, hardy and practically all 

 heart, requiring but little aid in blanching it. (See cut.)

S« KALE™ BORECOLE 



Beautifully curled, bright green leaves. Largely grown for

 hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. Price, 5c. pkt.,

GREEN CURLED ENDIVE 



LARGE AMERICAN FLAG 



We offer a very superior stock of this pop- 

 ular variety, so largely grown for fall and early 

 winter use. It is of quick, strong growth, pro- 

 ducing long stems of uniform shape and size, 

 averaging 2 inches through by 10 inches long, 

 blanching beautifully white and of fine, mild 

 flavor. It makes attractive and saleable 

 bunches. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 70c. \ lb., $2.50 lb. 



MUSSELBURGH, or SCOTCH CHAMPION 



This is the best variety for winter and spring 

 use, being very hardy; it keeps well when 

 earthed up. It is of slower growth than 

 American Flag, making immense, stocky stems 

 about 3 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. 

 The leaves are broad and flat, and little in- 

 jured by snow; they recover their fresh, green 

 color quicklv in spring. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. oz., 70c' I lb., $2.50 lb.
