PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



SHOFTTLEAVED EARLY WHITE 



VIENNA KOHLRABI. 



Kohl-Rabi is a bulbous formed vegetable much appreciated 

 in Europe and too little known in America. It is usually 

 -cooked before fully grown, when it is tender and excellent. 

 This variety is one of the best, being very early, rapid growing, 

 tender and delicately flavored. The bulb is large enough to be 

 -eaten in from 10 to 12 weeks from sowing and as they are more 

 tender and delicately flavored before being fully matured, it is 

 advisable to make successive sowings, rather than depend upon 

 a standing crop. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 26c. oz., 75c. | lb., $2.50 lb. 



Large^Leaved Corn Salad or Fetticus. 



We offer nothing but the hardy, large leaved strain, which is

Price, 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 60c. lb., 25 lbs. and over, 55c. lb.

 fruits of the largest size and finest quality; the plants 

 usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits. {See cut.)

 lific producer of uniformly large, purple black fruits of 

 fine quality, developing with rapidity and ready about 

 two weeks earlier than other large sorts.

KALE OR BORECOLE. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. 



Largely grown for supplying " greens" during the fall, winter 

 and spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in garnish- 

 ing. The plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the 

 quality. The leaves are very large, deeply curled and fringed, 

 and of that desirable rich bright green color; the plants are of 

 very dwarf, even growth, the leaves hugging the ground, so 

 that they are not broken off by heavy, wet snow, as often 

 happens with taller types. 



Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 85c. lb. 



KALE SIBERIAN 



Green, curly leaves, tender and of delicate flavor. 



Our stock of this well-known variety is carefully selected to a 

 uniform type, which is far superior to the strains usually sold. 

 In color it cannot be surpassed. Its uniformly dwarf habit 

 renders it particularly valuable for wintering over in theSouth 

 for spring marketing. 



Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 50c. lb. 



ENDIVE. 



Leading Varieties for Market Gardeners. 



One of the best salads, especially when 

 blanched; also much used for garnishing; if 

 foiled makes fine " greens." Successive sowings 

 iurnish a supply almost the year round. 



GREEN CURLED. A popular sort with 

 finely cut leaves. Our strain is a long-standing 

 type. It is large, hardy and practically all heart, 

 requiring but little aid in blanching it. {See 

 ■cut.) Price 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 lb. 



BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN, or Escarolle. 



Large, thick, broad leaves; it forms large hearts, 

 "which, blanched, form one of the best winter 

 salads, though it is often marketed without 

 ^blanching. It is in great demand in all sections, 

 •especially by the French and Italians. Price 

 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 lb.
