EVERYTHIHG FOR THE GARDEN -Vegetable Seeds 



New York Spineless Egg Plant 



Henderson's 

 Improved 



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 lolled 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., $1.00 oz., $3.50 H lb. 



"My father, Mr. W. W. Dickerson, used your seeds for over 

 30 years. We are especially proud of our success with Hender- 

 son's New York Spineless Egg Plants, which we grow to an aver- 

 age weight of 3li lbs."

An early variety. A handsome, large variety of great 

 merit; a prolific producer of uniformly large, purple- 

 black fruits of fine quality, developing with rapidity and 

 ready about two weeks earlier than other large sorts. 

 Price, 15c. pkt., $1.10 oz., $4.00 \i lb. 



"I never grew better Egg Plants than I had this summer. 

 Henderson's New York Spineless and also Black Beauty are 

 fine." DUBOIS BRINCKERHOFF,

Green Curled Endive 



THE "CHICORE'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 is 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 

 Yi inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin 

 the plants out to 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly 

 while growing. A very early crop may be grown by 

 starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. 

 Good results come from early spring sowing, and even 

 better, when treated as a fall crop. Successional sow- 



(Continved) 

 5ngs during July give a 

 continuous supply after 

 cool weather, and with 

 a slight covering the 

 plants may be kept in 

 good condition well into 

 November. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 

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



Broad-Leaved 



Batavian 

 Endive 



(ESCAROLLE) 



Has broad, fleshy

 in the same way as Green 

 Curled, but thin out the 

 plants to 10 inches apart 

 in the rows. Price, 10c.
