T 11 CRUMPLED LEAVED T> . 



Lucullus swiss chard Beet 



A New Variety with Larger Stems and Closely Crumpled Leaves 



This is quite distinct from the old and well-known variety. The 

 leaf stems are rounder, very thick and fleshy. The whole plant 

 is taller and the leaves, instead of being smooth, are deeply and 

 closely crumpled, similar to a Savoy Cabbage. 



This variety will probably be highly esteemed by those who 

 prefer the rib of the leaf as it is more strongly developed than in the 

 old variety. The entire leaf is equally tender and palatable. The 

 outer leaves should cither be cut close to the base of the plant, or 

 pulled off while still young in an outward and downward direction" 

 It is held in great esteem by all Europeans, and is rapidly besom- 

 ing popular in America. It is cooked and eaten the same as 

 Spinach, and may be used continuously from June until frost.

Swiss Chard Beet 



Moramoth C \ T ^ITTTV or 



Sandwich Island OrVJUOir L Oyster Plant 



Salsify is one of the best of our root vege- 

 tables, and is rapidly increasing in popularity. 

 It is grown in the same way as the ParsDip, and 

 if grown in well prepared soil, will produce 

 large, smooth roots. Failing this, they are 

 liable to fork. Cooked in any form, Salsify is 

 wholesome, appetizing and nutritious. Its 

 peculiar oyster-like flavor is most apparent 

 when sliced and fried, it may also be served and 

 eaten as Asparagus. It is one of the best 

 remedies for various forms of indigestion. Most 

 of its medicinal value is contained in the milk 

 which exudes from the skin; the surface should 

 therefore be broken as little as possible. This 

 is best avoided by boiling whole, and peeling 

 after cooking. (See engraving.) Price, 10c.

"Now I have a beautiful crop of Mammoth Sand- 

 wich Island Salsify. Also some grand celery."

The Cut and Come 

 Again Vegetable 



The term "Chard" is applied to the edible mid-rib of the leaf of 

 certain plants, hence Swiss Chard is a Beet with the heavily ribbed 

 leaves developed instead of the root. Both ribs and leaves are 

 eaten. It is used either as greens, or, where the rib of the leaf only 

 is used, in the same manner as Asparagus. In either way it is a 

 delicious vegetable, and can be grown with the greatest ease. The outer leaves should either 

 be cut close to the base of the plant or pulled off while still young in an outward and down- 

 ward L direction. It is held in great esteem by all Europeans, and is rapidly becoming 

 popular in America. It is cooked and eaten the same as Spinach, and may be picked con- 

 tinuously from June until frost, because as the leaves are cut off other shoots are rapidly 

 put forth. 



This is the variety we have sold continuously for many years. It yields an abundant 

 supply of delicious greens and should be in every garden. It is the one vegetable that is 

 always ready for use. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 }£ lb. 



' We ordered our seeds from you last year and they 

 mammoth bush were very satisfactory. We raised sixty-two Squash from 



summer crookneck seven hills anaihey were in the poorest part of the garden." 



Mrs. W. F. DENT, Elmira, N. Y. 



^Sr 3 " Crookneck Squash 



A highly improved type of the popular Yellow Summer Crook- 

 neck. It is just as early, and the fruits are much larger, 

 measuring 20 to 24 inches in length, are solid, heavy and 

 freely produced on healthy, vigorous plants of compact 

 bush habit; fruits heavily warted; surface color, deep 

 golden; flesh yellow and of superior quality. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. \i lb..

 are certainly fine." CHARLES F. COMFORT,

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 



White Bush Squash 



The white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cym- 

 ling" has for years been a favorite summer 

 Squash, on account of its earliness, etc., but this 

 new sort is a vast improvement; it is just as 

 early, more prolific, and the Squashes are much 

 deeper, and have less prominent scallops, conse- 

 quently are easier prepared, contain less waste 

 and almost twice the amount of flesh, which is 

 also of finer quality. The plants are of the true 

 bush habit. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 20c. oz., 70c. yi lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Henderson's Long Island While Bush Squash is a 

 great success here. It has proved to be very prolific."
