HENDERSON'S 



Baby Bell Pepper 



The Earliest Sweet Pepper Grown. Perfect for the Private Garden 



This really remarkable little Pepper is particularly well suited to the 

 private garden, having several qualities which are ideal for that purpose. 

 The plants are remarkably small and compact, so that they may be planted 

 as close as one foot apart in the rows. It is extremely early, in fact, the 

 earliest of all the sweet Peppers, yet the fruits are of good size, amply large 

 enough for general use. They are borne in great profusion close to the 

 center of the plant. The fruits are most attractive in appearance, the color 

 is a brilliant, vivid, waxy scarlet, and the flavor is remarkably pleasing, 

 delightfully piquant, and quite free from pungency. 



It bears a large crcp, and so continuously, that if the early fruits are 

 plucked and used when green, the plants will continue to yield bounti- 

 fully, and produce a heavy crop of ripe fruits later in the season. It is 

 also a little more rugged than many sorts, so that it will succeed in a 

 less favorable soil than is ordinarily required, and is decidedly more 

 resistant to unfavorable weather conditions. {See engraving.) Price, 

 15c. pkt., 4 pkts. for 50c, 75c. oz. 



" Henderson s Baby Bell Pepper proved most desirable. The plants were dwarf and 

 very thrifty and productive, ripening their fruits early, and producing until frost. The 

 fruit is a little smaller than the old Bell, but very attractive, on account of its very brilliant 

 red color when ripe. Baby Bell was invariably sweet, there being no hot flavor in it."

Ruby King Pepper 



One of the most popular large fruited Peppers; bearing a liberal crop of large 

 ruby red fruits, 5 to 6 inches long by 3 to 4 inches in diameter; flesh exceedingly 



thick, sweet ^ 

 and mild. It 

 is a favorite 

 sort for use as 

 salad, stuffing, etc.

Sweet Mountain 



Pprmpr or Improved 

 ireppei Bull Nose 



The Bell or Bull Nose Pepper has long been 

 a favorite. This improved variety is thicker fleshed 

 and more regular shaped than Bull Nose. It is mild 

 flavored and free from pungency while green and may be 

 eaten out of hand like fruit. Served in slices or as salad cut 

 up with Cabbage they are pleasantly appetizing; while stuffed 

 as ''Mangoes" and for pickling green this Sweet Mountain 



Pepper is unsurpassed. 

 Fruit bright red 

 when ripe. {See 

 engraving.)

Hollow Crown Parsnip S^te? 



Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the f™* ng the 

 best for the private garden. We have discarded all the types 

 with slim, long roots that invariably break in digging, and 

 offer only a shapely heavy -shouldered strain with its greatest 

 girth at the crown and gradually tapering to a small root. This 

 is easily dug, and is suited tc a greater variety of soils than any. 

 To secure best results deep digging is essential, and the soil 

 should be free from stone and well cultivated. 



For winter use lay the roots horizontally in small boxes packed 

 with ordinary garden soil, and store them in some convenient 

 place outdoors away from snow or rain. Bring in a box as 

 needed thawing them out slowly in a moderate temperature. 

 Frost improves their quality. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt.
