Complete List of 



VEQETABLE SEEDS. 



CABBAGE.— Continued. 



RED VARIETIES. This class is esteemed for pickling, making slaw, etc. 



Red Dutch. A popular hard-headed sort for pickling, etc. Not extra large, but of 



excellent quality. {Crop failure) 



Danish Round Red. A red type of the Holland or Danish Ball Head. Compact plant, 



very solid head, extremely dark and attractive in color; very hardy 



Mammoth Rock Red. A large-growing select strain, producing very solid heads; color, 



intense dark red (Crop failure) 



SAVOY VARIETY. The quality and flavor of this crumpled-leaf Cabbage is very 



superior; grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost it is sweet, and most 



delicious. 



American Drumhead Savoy. The largest heading Savoy, a general favorite for both 



private use and marketing 



CARROT. 



Carentan. (Crop failed.) 



Chantenay, Half Long Scarlet. The popular sort for bunching. This is recognized 

 everywhere as one of the best bunching varieties, and is popular with all growers. 

 It is used largely in frames where the small tops allow close planting. In the open 

 ground it has long been a standard sort. It is broadest at the shoulder, and tapers 

 towards the base, running quickly to a point. (See specialties page 6.) 



Coreless, Henderson's. A long, smooth variety of excellent quality. (Crop failure) .. 



Danvers, Henderson's Selected. Our idea of a good Danvers Carrot is a root about 

 eight inches long, broad at the shoulder, and maintaining a good diameter until near 

 the base, then going quickly to a point. This type is admirably suited to the market. 

 It gives great weight per acre, and is easily dug. (See engraving.) (See specialties page 6) 



Early French Forcing. Largely grown for forcing. 



Early Scarlet Horn. Early, 3 to 4 inches long, and a favorite for bunching : 



Half Long Red, Stump-rooted. A shapely stump-rooted variety, of medium size and 

 one of the best for summer use. The roots are almost cylindrical in shape with blunt 

 round points. The skin is smooth; and the flesh is very sweet and mild in flavor 

 having very little yellow heart or core. This carrot is earlier than any other half 

 long type, and surpasses them all in productiveness. It is also one of the best sorts 

 for frame use 



Intermediate, Henderson's. The best long rooted Carrot grown, good for pitting over 

 winter; grand color. Grows best on deep soil 



New York Market, Henderson's. Similar to Danvers, but not so heavy; a good basket 

 carrot and keeps well. A favorite in all eastern markets 



Long Orange Improved. Our strain of this well-known Carrot is heavy at the shoulder 

 and of great weight. It averages 12 inches in length, and is 3 inches across at the 

 shoulder; it is clear and smooth throughout, and will produce enormous crops per acre. 

 (See specialties page 6) 



Oxheart or Guerande. Thick and blunt-rooted, 5 inches long, and of fine quality. One 

 of the best sorts for bunching 



Rubicon, Half Long Scarlet 



White and Yellow Belgian. 1 



White Vosges. / 



CAULIFLOWER. 



Our stocks of Cauliflower are known and used extensively by the most critical market 

 gardeners in the country. For uniformity and sure heading quality they are unsur- 

 passed.

Extra Early Paris 



Large Late Algiers 



Veitch's Autumn Giant

CELERY. 



EARLY SELF-BLANCHING VARIETIES. These grow quickly, blanch easily, and are 



especially adapted for fall and early winter use. 

 Silver Self-Blanching, Henderson's. Has the color and blanching quality of the old 



White Plume, but is more stocky in growth. It makes a most attractive bunch, and 



of excellent quality. (See engraving) 



Golden Self-Blanching. (See specialties page 6) 



Golden Rose, Henderson's. A pink form of Golden Self-Blanching. (Crop failure) . . 

 Henderson's Perfected White Plume. An old favorite in the self-blanching sorts, the 



first of the type, still wanted in many sections 



SECOND EARLY, LONG-KEEPING AND WINTER VARIETIES. 



"Easy Blanching", Henderson's. (See specialties page 7) 3 pks. 50c. 



Evans' Triumph. Stalks long, white and solid, an excellent keeper 



Giant Pascal. Very distinct. The plant has fewer stalks than any other, these are al- 

 most as thick as broad, of fine texture and delicious quality. It blanches easily, and 

 being a little quicker than most of the late sorts, is usually marketed earlier 



Golden Dwarf, Henderson's. This is grown just as widely as ever for a winter crop. 

 It stands pitting remarkably well, where its robust character enables it to resist rust 

 and rot. It is medium in height; the stalks are solid, fleshy and crisp. It has an 

 abundant heart, the inner leaves blanching to a rich creamy yellow color, which shows 

 up well in the bunch 



Dwarf White, Henderson's. Solid, crisp, and of fine flavor 



Boston Market. Solid green stalks, blanching white; crisp and tender; habit dwarf 

 and robust; a splendid keeper 



Giant White Solid. A long-stalked variety, large and solid 



New Rose, Henderson's. A splendid variety of exceptionally fine flavor (Crop failure) 



White Rock. A new variety for winter use, of dwarf and vigorous habit, with large 

 solid heart, most desirable for market use, and rapidly becoming popular. It is best 

 described as a smaller stock of Giant Pascal 



Winter Queen. A selection from Henderson's Golden Dwarf. The habit of the plant 

 is dwarf, and it has great vigor. The stalks are medium long, thick, only slightly 

 ribbed, extremely solid, and very crisp. The flavor is delicious when thoroughly 

 blanched. It may be marketed late, at which time its quality will ensure good prices 



Celery, to grow for soup greens
