HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS.

Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower. 



It is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all, as its name has 

 now become a household word wherever this delicious vegetable is grown. 

 Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere for quality with 

 the market gardener and the amateur. While originally recommended and used 

 as an early variety it has not only supplanted all other sorts for early spring 

 planting, but it has largely driven out the large sorts for fall use, being much 

 finer in quality, and the one Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head when 

 conditions are ordinarily favorable, invariably forming a perfect snow-white 

 head, averaging not less than 9 inches and often attaining a size of 10 to 12 

 inches in diameter, and the "flower" is so compact, so deep and solid that the 

 heads will outweigh those of any other strain. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower is superior to all others. It is the earliest 

 of all Cauliflowers. Its close-growing, compact habit enables one-third more 

 to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with other varieties. 

 For forcing under glass during winter and spring Henderson's Snowball is 

 peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for 

 this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. (See engraving.)

Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower. 



Henderson's Superb Strain. 

 While the famous Henderson's Snowball is beyond any question the finest 

 sort for all-around work and especially frame culture, it is only fair to urge the 

 claims of our wonderfully fine strain of Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, which is one of 

 the very best varieties for field cultivation, for either early or late, heading with 

 great certainty, under ordinarily favorable conditions producing extra large, 

 deep, solid white flowers. The plant is of large, sturdy, robust growth, having 

 a strong frame with short, broad leaves which furnish ample protection to the 

 "flower." This is of the finest quality, always clear, with even surface, without 

 any leaf growing between, and unsurpassed in appearance. Price, 15c. pkt., 

 $2.25 oz., $8.00 i lb., $32.00 lb. 



Chantenay Half-Long Scarlet Carrot. 



A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, very 

 productive and of fine quality. It is very largely grown for 

 bunching and as an early basket sort. It is remarkably even in 

 shape and size; no sort equals it in this respect. For medium 

 early and main crop it is unexcelled. It is not recommended 

 for winter storing. Price, 25c. oz., 85c. \ lb., $3.00 lb. 



Henderson's Selected Danvers Carrot. 



A handsome, half-long stump-rooted Carrot of good size and of 

 a rich dark orange color; it grows to a large size, is smooth and 

 the flesh very close in texture with very little core and a small 

 tap-root. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils, under good culti- 

 vation it has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre with the smallest 

 length of root of any now grown, and is more easily harvested 

 than long Carrots. Our selected stock is especially grown for 

 market gardeners, to whom it gives the best satisfaction. Price 

 25c. oz., 85c. i lb., $3.00 lb. 



The Davis Perfect Cucumber. 



This comparatively new Cucumber produces slim symmetrical 

 fruits 9 to 12 inches in length, very uniform in shape and of 

 handsome appearance. The color — glossy dark green — is main- 

 tained almost up to maturity. It holds its color and apparent 

 freshness long after being cut, rendering it a good shipping and 

 market variety. The flesh is of fine quality and solid for one 

 third the length from the stem end — the small seed cavity being 

 in the blossom end. While in condition to slice the seeds are so 

 small as to be scarcely noticeable. It so resembles some of the 

 forced or hot house cucumbers that it is often sold by fruit dealers 

 as such and at high prices. The vines are such healthy, vigorous 

 growers that they should not be planted for the best results 

 nearer than 5 feet apart. It is practically immune from Cucum- 

 ber diseases, is very prolific and early. A very shy seeder. Price, 

 15c. oz., 35c. | lb., $1.25 lb. 



The "Henderson" 

 White Spine Cucumber. 



EXTRA EARLY— HEALTHY— PROLIFIC— HANDSOME. 



Perfection has been attained in this grand improvement in the 

 White Spine family. It is early, and produces an enormous crop 

 of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits of an extremely attrac- 

 tive color, with faint yellowish shading towards the blossom end. 

 It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen 

 fruits or culls. It is the ideal for slicing, the flesh being compact, 

 fine grained, sparkling white and of most refreshing and delight- 

 ful flavor. The vines are vigorous, quite healthy, mildew-proof, 

 maintaining their fresh luxuriance and bearing from the earliest 

 to the latest season. Either for the home garden or for market 

 this variety is without a peer. (See engraving.) Price of the 

 "Henderson" White Spine Cucumber, 15c. oz., 45c. \ lb.,. 

 $1.50 lb. (25 lb. lots, $1.40 lb.) 



Arlington White Spine Cucumber. 



A very fine selection of white Spine, having many sterling 

 qualities such as earliness, handsome shape, medium size, even 

 dark green color and productiveness. The vines are healthy 

 and vigorous ensuring a great number of good marketable fruit, 

 with few culls. It is certainly a fine variety for the trucker- 

 Price, 10c. oz., 30c. i lb., $1.00"lb. 



Vickery's Forcing Cucumber. 



This variety is considered by all who have tried it to be an 

 ideal forcing Cucumber, although it is equally good for outdoor 

 cultivation, fruits are longer than Early White Spine from which 

 it originated, with slight taper at both ends, its wonderful pro- 

 ductiveness and rich dark green color make it unsurpassed as a 

 Market Gardener's or Trucker's Cucumber. Price, 15c. oz., 

 45c. \ lb., $1.50 lb.
