Sweet Pepper Ruby King 



Sweet Pepper Worldbeater 



ONE OF THE BEST LARGE PEPPERS 

 YET INTRODUCED 



Because of its extra thick flesh World Beater is the best 

 shipping variety known, and it cannot be beaten for Market 

 Gardeners' purposes. This variety was obtained by crossing 

 two other well known varieties, viz., Chinese Giant and Ruby 

 King. 



It is just as early as the last named variety and about as 

 large as the former. The flavor is extremely mild and can be 

 eaten raw without burning. The fruits are well colored when 

 fully ripe; being at first green and then turning to a rich 

 scarlet red. Worldbeater is very prolific, as many as twenty- 

 four peppers being -produced by a single plant. The bushes 

 are dwarf and vigorous with strong stems which carry the 

 fruits well above the soil. Price, 55c. oz., SI. 75 3i lb., 

 $6.00 lb. 



Henderson's Selected Radishes 

 for Market Gardeners 



HENDERSON'S WHITE-TIPPED EARLY 

 SCARLET TURNIP RADISH 



For many years we have found this variety to be the most 

 popular of all among market gardeners. It is unsurpassed as a 

 table Radish, where by reason of the strong contrasting colors 

 of the root it makes a most attractive appearance. The flesh 

 is crisp, white and tender and extremely mild. {See engraving.)

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE RADISH 



The best of the forcing varieties. The roots are a little 

 longer than round, the skin intense scarlet in color, with tiny 

 threadlike roots. We exercise unusual care to procure only 

 perfect stocks of this variety and we believe no better can be 

 had. Price, 15c. 

 upwards 90c. lb.) 



The Most Popular large- 

 Fruited Pepper, Thick 

 Fleshed, Sweet. Mild and Attractive 



Ruby King is one of the most popular 

 large-fruited sweet peppers grown. It 

 is held in high estimation by the market 

 gardeners and is equally valuable for the 

 home gardeners. The plants, which are 

 vigorous, grow to a height of about two 

 feet, and are clothed with rich, dark green 

 foliage. 



The fruits average about five inches 

 long by three inches in diameter and are 

 usually three lobed. The color is a 

 pleasing deep green, which turns to a 

 glowing ruby red when ripe and the 

 plant is a prolific bearer presenting a 

 most attractive appearance when show- 

 ing its fruit in various stages of 

 development. 



The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet 

 and mild making it a desirable and 

 favorite sort for slicing, salads, stuffing, 

 etc. {See engraving.) Price, 50c. oz.,

TURNIP 

 ROOTED 



Hamburg or 

 Parsley 



Henderson's 

 Select Strain 



Hamburg or turnip- 

 rooted parsley has roots 

 very much reseinbling a 

 small parsnip with a flavor 

 not unlike celeriac. The 

 leaves are nearly the same 

 in appearance as plain pars- 

 ley, but it is grown for 

 its roots; which mature 

 quickly. The flesh is white, 

 tender when cooked, and it 

 is greatly in demand in 

 many sections of the coun- 

 try. We offer a special 

 strain for Market Gar- 

 deners. {See engraving.)
