Green Curled Endive 



THE I'CHICOR^E FRISEE" OF THE FRENCH 



An excellent 'salad plant, .available long after the 

 season for Lettuce, and more easily grown. The 

 flavor is pleasantly, bitter, stimulating and zest- 

 giving. ^ Is used also boiled as greens. 



Green Curled is the best for general use, and ia 

 easily blanched by covering the full-grown plants 

 with boards or pieces of slate. After severe frost 

 the plants may be removed and planted closely in 

 a cellar for winter use.' The seed should be sown in 

 rows about 2 feet apart and J^ inch deep in the drill. 

 When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 8 

 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while grow- 

 ing. A very early crop may be grown by starting 

 the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. 

 Good resulta come from early spring sowing, and 

 even better, when treated as a fall crop. Succes- 

 sional sowings during July give a continuous supply 

 after cool weather, and with a slight covering the 

 plants may be kept in good condition well into No- 

 vember. ' (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c.- oz.,

HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



New York Spineless 

 Egg Plant 



I 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 af the approach of frosty nights, 



and they will keep in good condition 



for some time. (See engraving.) Price, 



10c. pkt., 85c. oz., $3.00 M lb.
