HENDERSON'S IMPROVED NEW YORK SPINELESS 



Egg Plant 



Our superior stock of this popular variety produces a large crop of shapely, 

 purple fruits of liberal size and perfect quality. 



The plant is of low growth with a vigorous branching habit, strong enough to 

 support its massive fruits and compact enough 

 to economize space. It is very prolific, the 

 plants usually bearing 8 to 10 immense 

 fruits of superb quality 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 frosty nights, and 

 they will keep in good condition 

 for some time. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 



K Egg Plant 



An early variety; a prolific pro- 

 ducer of uniform purple-black 

 fruits of fine quality. Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 M lb. 



"It miy interest you to know that the 

 largest Egg Plant I harvested in my one acre 

 Egg Plant patch last season weighed n lbs. 1 oz. 

 The variety was Henderson's Improved New York 

 Spineless."

 " My father, Mr. W. W. Dickerson, used 

 your seeds for over 30 years. We are 

 especially proud of our success with Hen- 

 derson's New York Spineless Egg 

 Plants, which we grew to an average 

 weight of 3}4 lbs"

Dwarf Green 

 Curled Scotch Kale 



Should be sown during / 

 June and transplanted 

 later for use during fall, 

 winter or early spring. 

 The plants are hardy 

 above zero. The flavor 

 is best after being ex- 

 posed to frost. For this 

 reason the crop from 

 summer sown seed is j 

 preferable, although it is f 

 often used in summer

"We had heads of Dwarfs.; 

 Green Curled Scotch Kale that ^ 

 weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. It is the 

 finest Kale I ever saw or tasted, 

 and I have been eating Kale for 

 40 years. There are no dwarf 

 heads in the entire lot, and I would 

 suggest that you call it 'Giant' in 

 stead of ' Dwarf.'

Large American Flag Leek 



The Leek is closely allied to the Onion. The entire 

 lower portion of the plant is used, which is smooth, solid, 

 and generally the same thickness throughout. It is boiled 

 whole, or used in soups; the young plants make excellent 

 "Scallions." The flavor is mild, and preferred by many 

 for this reason. American Flag is the best variety for 

 general use. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 75c. \i lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Your American Flag Leek was simply grand." 



Mrs. H. WHITEHEAD, Easton, Pa. 



Early Short Leaved 



White Vienna Kohl-Rabi 



A singular variety of Cabbage with a Turnip-like 

 bulb which forms immediately above the ground. It 

 is extremely tender and partakes of the flavor of both 

 Turnips and Cabbage. The bulb is large enough to be 

 eaten in from 10 to 12 v-eeks from sowing, and as they 

 are more tender and delicately flavored before fully 

 matured, it is advisable to make successive sowings, 

 ^IS|g rather than depend upon a standing crop. Should be in 

 every garden. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c.

"/ received your catalogue, and am already making up my 

 order of seeds. I feel I owe it to you to tell you of my wonderful 

 success with your seeds. Last year on a plot 30 x 100 / raised 

 all the vegetables for my family of six and two servants in addition."
