Henderson's Rocket Radishes 



A dish composed of these three Rockets presents a most attractive 

 appearance when prepared for the table, and we advise everyone to 

 grow some of each. In addition to their bright appearance, they are 

 among the earliest varieties grown, and they mature at exactly the 

 same time. For these reasons they are used very extensively for 

 forcing, when they may be had in 21 days from sowing. They do 

 equally well outdoors, but, in common with all Radishes, must be 

 grown under conditions that induce rapid growth, for only then will 

 they acquire proper flavor and crispness. They must be pulled just 

 as soon as ready. 



The Collection of 3 Rocket Radishes, 1 pkt. each for 25c; 1 oz. each 

 for 50c ; M lb. each for $1 .90.

Henderson's L on g Season Spinach i 



Spinach sown in the late spring and summer has a most 

 aggravating habit of going to seed just when it should be ready 

 for use. Henderson's Long Season grows more slowly than 

 Others, but after attaining its growth will stay in that 

 condition for a much longer time, so that with thus variety 

 there is nothing to hinder anyone from enjoying this 

 delicious vegetable during the entire season. 



This peculiar quality makes it ideal for a sum- 

 mer crop, a season in which most varieties suffer 

 severely, but it is also extremely hardy. Sown 

 in September and carried through the 

 winter with slight protection, it will give 

 a good supply early in spring. 



The plant is small, with lustrous green 

 leaves, which are short, broad, very 

 thick, and of so great substance that 

 they lose less bulk in cooking than any 

 other. The leaf stems are very short, 

 which so greatly reduces the size of the 

 plant that it forms a compact, dense 

 rosette, perfect in color and substance, 

 and unequalled in flavor. It occupies 

 less room than any other sort. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. 

 Ji lb., $2.50 lb. 



EeaVTd or Dutch Spinach 



One of the oldest and best-known sorts 

 for the early spring crop. It may be 

 sown at intervals during April, from 

 which very satisfactory crops may be had 

 quite early in the season. It succeeds 

 equally well as a fall crop, for which pur- 

 pose it is sown during the first two weeks 

 in August. The plants are very compact, 

 the leaves thick and verv tender. Price, 

 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. \i lb., $2.50 lb.
