HENDERSON'S 



Long Season Spinach. 



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 weather, re- 

 taining 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 besfcvariety to be sown at month- 

 ly intervals for a successional supply.

PALMETTO ASPARAG1

Seeds for Fall Sowing 



HENDERSON'S 



Early Jersey Wake- 

 field Cabbage. 



This famous Cabbage was introduced 

 by us, and still retains its lead as the best 

 first early in cultivation. Among its 

 merits may be mentioned its large size of 

 head for an early sort, and its uniformity 

 in producing a crop. The heads are of 

 pyramidal shape, with blunt peaks, and 

 are remarkably solid. The outside leaves 

 are small, though of great substance, 

 enabling the plants to stand severe 

 weather. Our seed is from highly bred 

 selected stock and is unequalled.

HENDERSON S LONG SEASON SPINACH. 



HENDERSON'S 



Succession Cabbage. 



Finest Cabbage in Existence, 



Whether for Medium Early, Main Crop 



or Winter Use. 



PERFECT in every respect. 



It comes in a few days later than 

 Early Summer, but is of nearly double 

 the size and is absolutely true to its 

 type under all conditions. We recom- 

 mend it either for the market gardener 

 trucker or private planter, as it is a 

 perfect cabbage in every respect, not 

 only being of the largest size, but of 

 handsome color and of the finest 

 quality. It is a safe variety for an 

 amateur to plant, as it does well at 

 all seasons, and one is almost sure of 

 getting a crop, no matter when it is 

 planted. (See cut.)

Palmetto Asparagus Roots. 



(Ready in November for the South, in Mar h and 

 April for the North.) We advise Spring planting in 

 the latitude of New York. 

 A saving of 1 to 2 years is effected by planting roots. 



The Palmetto is superior; it is not only larger 

 and much earlier, but is also a better yielder, and is 

 more even and regular in its growth. Average 

 bunches, containing fifteen shoots, measure 13J 

 inches in circumference and weigh about two pounds. 

 The Palmetto is equallv well adapted for all sections 

 North and South. (See cut.) Per 100 Per 1000

CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON'S 



Early Charleston 

 Wakefield Cabbage. 



This is the large Earlv Cabbage, 

 which we bred from the Earlv " Jersey " 

 Wakefield, to meet a demand' for a larger 

 heading sort. It possesses all of the val- 

 uable characteristics of the parent with 

 the advantages of the heads being fifty 

 per cent larger, though a few days later. 

 Our strain of the seed is very 'superior.

This peerless variety was introduced by 

 us, it is the best second Earlv Cabbage,

HENDERSON S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



Henderso n's Early Snowball Cauliflower. 



The standard everywhere for quality, and the only Cauli- 

 flower that is absolutely certain to head (conditions being 

 congenial), forming a perfect snow-white head, averaging 

 nine inches in diameter. Beyond question the best cauli- 

 flower for either early or late, for family or market garden, 

 for forcing or cold frames; it heads where others fail. 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 any other variety. 

 For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Earlv 

 Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf 

 growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose r.o other 

 Cauliflower is now so largely grown. (See cut.)
