VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES- 



HENDERSON'S 

 LONG SEASON 



CPINACH 



SPINACH. 



CPINACH is most extensively grown during 

 J the winter and spring months, for the reason 

 that the plants quickly run to seed in hot 

 weather. With our new Long Season variety, 

 Spinach may now be continuously grown in 

 any home garden, so that this most delicious 

 of "boiling greens" may be enjoyed not only 

 during cool weather months, but in the sum- 

 mer as well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, 

 tender and succulent, crumpled leaves of in- 

 tensely dark green color; their great substance 

 and short leaf stalks enable them to "stand 

 up" in hot weather, retaining their freshness 

 for a long period after cutting. There is no 

 other variety that will stand so long without 

 running to seed and remain in an edible condi- 

 tion. It is the best variety to be sown m 

 the spring, and at monthly intervals for a 

 successional summer supplv. (See cut.) Price, 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. '4 lb., 50c. lb.

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 



SALSIFY or Oyster Plant 



/""NXE of the most delicious of winter vegetables, 

 ^■^ and also one of the most nutritious; the flavor 

 is sweet and highly esteemed whether served 

 boiled with butter or other suitable sauce, or 

 sliced and fried, or used in soup. 



This variety, where known, is entirely super- 

 seding the old type, as it produces roots nearly 

 double the size and weight and of equally good 

 quality. Seed sown in spring produces large, 

 finerootsth.it may remain in the ground all win- 

 ter or may be dug and stored in sand or earth in 

 November, thus keeping them plump and sweet, 

 to be used as desired during the winter. (Sec rut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. ' 4 lb., $1.50 lb. 



SWISS CHAKD, 



OR SPINACH BEET 

 PHIS type of beet is grown for its large, succu- 

 * lent tender leaves and stems. The thick, 

 fleshy leaf stalks are cooked and served like 

 asparagus, and are most delicious. The young 

 leaves are boiled like spinach, are much esteemed 

 as a fresh vegetable or "greens" for summer and 

 autumn use. (Sec cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 

 25c. 34 lb., 75c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 



White Bush Squash 



*T"HE white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cym- 

 ' ling" has for years been a favorite summer 

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

 is a vast improvement; it is nearly as early, more 

 prolific and the squashes are much deeper, and 

 have less prominent scallops, consequently are 

 easier prepared, contain less waste and almost 

 twice the amount of flesh, which is also of finer 

 qualitv. The plants are of the true bush habit. 

 (See cut on next page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 

 35c. }i lb., $1.00 lb.
