HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS 



HENDERSON'S 

 THICK-LEAVED SPINACH 



The best sort for fall sowing to winter over for 

 spring cutting, being very hardy. It produces 

 large, thick, bright green crumpled leaves of fine 

 quality, yielding a heavy crop, and is one of the 

 best market sorts. It is also much used for 

 spring sowing, being slow to run to seed and 

 standing the heat well until about the middle of 

 June.* Price, 10c. oz., 15c. \i lb., 25c. lb. (10/ 

 lbs. and upwards 20c. lb.) ( 



COOPER'S SPECIAL TOMATO 



Henderson's Private Stock \ 



Cooper's Special is a very finely bred second 

 early tomato, similar to Livingston's Globe, but 

 not nearly so rank in vine. 



The fruits — which are quite large — are very 

 bright rose in color, with a slight tinge"; of 

 purple; and they ripen very evenly. The meat 

 is very firm and solid, and the seed cavities will 

 be found quite small without the usual green 

 core. Cooper's Special will be a favorite with all market 

 growers because the vines continue to produce fruits of a 

 marketable size all through the growing season. 



Cooper's Special is also an extra good shipper and is 

 grown very extensively by southern truckers for the northern 

 markets. The stock we offer is especially good, having 

 been carefully selected, for a number of vears. (See 

 'engraving.) Price, 80c. oz., $2.75 J4 lb. $10.00 "lb. 



BONNY BEST TOMATO 



Best Early Tomato Known, Produces Large Sized 

 Tomatoes Bright Scarlet in Color 



Bonny Best is decidedly the "best" in its class for the 

 Market Gardener whose trade requires really fine fruits. 

 It is almost as early as Earliana; not more than one week's 

 time separating the period of maturity of each variety: 

 and in addition Bonny Best is a larger tomato, and a heavier 

 cropper than Earliana. The fruits are deep scarlet in color, 

 very smooth, perfectly round, solid and meaty. Bonny 

 Best is also an excellent variety for the canner, as it yields 

 from 12 to 15 tons to the acre. The plants are of robust 

 growth and produce tomatoes throughout the growing 

 season. {See engraving.) Price, 40c. oz., $1.40 J^ lb., 

 $5.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 

 LONG SEASON SPINACH 



Spinach sown in the late spring and summer has a 

 most aggravating habit of going to seed just when it 

 should be ready for market. Henderson's Long 

 Season grows more slowly than others, but after 

 attaining its growth will stay in that condition for 

 a much longer time than any other variety. This 

 peculiar quality makes it ideal for a summer 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 crop 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. It occupies less room 

 than any other sort. {See engraving.) Price, 10c. 

 oz., 15c. M lb-, 30c. lb. (10 lbs. and upwards 25c. lb.) 



Norfolk Savoy-Leaved Spinach 



A very popular variety to sow for the late fall cut- 

 ting. It is quick growing and a heavy cropper, produc- 

 ing large, fleshy, dark green leaves as deeply crumpled 

 as a Savoy Cabbage. It is largely grown in the South 

 for winter and early spring crops. If sown in the 

 spring it must be cut as soon as ready, 

 S 'JS^ ^s ^t quicklv runs to seed. {See engraving.) 



ii^ijk. Price, 10c.' oz., 15c. H lb., 25c. lb. (10 



lbs. and upwards 20c. lb.) 



King of Denmark 

 ^. Spinach 



This is a variety of 

 comparatively recent in- 

 troduction, and seems 

 destined to supplant 

 some older varieties for 

 spring sowing; because it 

 is extremely slow to go to 

 seed. 



It is very dwarf, and 

 makes a wonderfully 

 quick growth, setting an 

 abundance of dark green 

 tender leaves, distinct- 

 ively crumpled. It is 

 ready for cutting as soon 

 as other varieties and we 

 think it a great addition 

 to the list of varieties for 

 the trucker. Price, 10c. 

 oz., 20c. I4 lb., 50c. lb.
