PETER HENDERSON & CO. VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWEALL CAULIFLOWER. 



During the past five years we have received hundreds of the most satisfactory testimonials 

 from all parts of the country, from those who tried the Early Snowball. It gave excellent 

 results from spring sowing, and it is certain to do well when sown in fall and wintered cvei in 

 cold frames For this purpose the proper time for sowing in this section is from the 15th to the 

 25th of September. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers, and is without an equal for forcirig 

 during winter and spring. Its dwarf habit of growth, and closeness of outside leaves, especially 

 recommend it for the purpose. 50c. per pkt. ; $8.00 per oz. ; (£ oz. at oz. rates.) 



HENDERSON'S PREMIER CABBAGE. 



We sold out of Jersey "Wakefield Cabbage Seed last Spring by the end of February, and 

 quite a number of customers were induced to sow in its stead the variety, " Premier," which we 

 had been testing for two previous seasons. So far as we can learn, it gave very general 

 satisfaction. It forms a solid head about a week earlier than all other kinds tried, the next to 

 it in earliness being the well-known Jersey Wakefield. In size it is somewhat smaller than the 

 Wakefield, but as it forms very small outer leaves, it can be planted one-third closer, 15 or 16 

 inches apart, each way, giving it ample room, so that fully as much weight can be taken from 

 it on a given space, as from the Wakefield. 40c. per oz. ; $1.50 per \ lb. ; $5.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S NORFOLK SAVOY LEAVED SPINACH.— AMERICAN GROWN. 



CHOICE STOCK, VERY CURLY. 



This is a comparatively new kind of Spinach, producing nearly twice the weight of crop 

 as the ordinary sorts ; by a comparative test in our trial grounds, the past three winters, we 

 have proved it also to be the hardiest of all varieties of Spinach, a most important quality in 

 cold districts. Many of our leading Market Gardeners in this vicinity, whom we induced to try 

 it, are so thoroughly pleased with it, that they will now use no other variety. 



Price, 40c. per lb. ; 10 lbs. for $3.50. 



NEW THICK LEAVED SPINACH. 



One of the best for market ; thick leaved, somewhat crumpled, dark in color, and stands 

 long without running to seed. This sort has recently become very popular in the neighborhood 

 of New York. 40c. per lb. ; 10 lbs for $3.50.
