HENDERSON'S PALMETTO ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



(Ready in November for the South, and in March and April for the North.) 

 Early, large, tender, delicious. The finest Asparagus grown. The Palmetto is not only much earlier, but is also a better yielder, 

 and is more even and regular in its growth than any other variety, and must eventually supplant all older sorts. Average bunches containing 

 fifteen shoots measure 131/2 inches in circumference, and weigh about two pounds. The Palmetto has now been planted in all parts of the 

 country, and it has been proven equally well adapted for all sections North and South. Its quality is unequaled. [See cut.) 



Palmetto. Asparagus roots (a saving of one to two years is effected by planting roots). Splendid two-year-old. $1.50 per 100, $10.00 

 per 1,000. 50 roots at 100 rate ; 500 at 1 .000 rate. If to be sent by mail, add 40 cents per 100 to the prices. 



Henderson's "EARLY SNOWBALL" cauliflower- 



FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER. 



Beyond Question THE BEST Cauliflower 



FOR EITHER EARLY OR LATE, 

 FOR FA/1ILY OR MARKET GARDEN, 

 FOR FORCING OR COLD FRAMES. 



IT HEADS WHERE OTHERS FAIL. 



Those who have never succeeded before 

 should grow "HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL." 



It is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all as its 

 name has now become -a household word wherever this delicious 

 vegetable is grown. Snowball Cauliflower is the standard 

 everywhere for quality with the seedsman, the market gar- 

 dener and the amateur. While originally recommended and used 

 as an early variety, it has not only supplanted all other sorts for 

 early Bpring planting, but it has largely driven out the large late 

 sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality, and the only Cauliflower 

 that is absolutely certain to head when the conditions are right, form- 

 ing a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 

 Is superior to all others. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Its 

 close-growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted 

 on the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. 

 For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Early Snow- 

 ball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and 

 short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now 

 so largely grown. (See cut.) Price, 25c. per pkt., $4.00 per oz., 

 $14.00 per % lb.
