PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



HENDERSON'S TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



FOR SUMMER SOWING. 



Henderson's Black Valentine. 



GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN. 



Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red 

 Valentine, and the pod is fully one-third longer. In 

 addition it has other valuable points. The pods 

 are extra long, round, straight and tender, and of a 

 beautiful soft green color. It is also equally early, 

 but has another advantage in that it is more suit- 

 able for late planting. In a test of the Extra Early 

 Refugee, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine and 

 Black Valentine, conducted in the fall, we found 

 that Black Valentine was fully as useful as Extra 

 Early Refugee, being equally as hardy in every 

 respect as the Refugee, while the beans were pro- 

 duced in enormous quantities. For any purpose, 

 or at any time of the year, the bean will be found 

 exceedingly valuable to all classes of growers. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $2.25 

 for 4 qts. 



"I claim that Henderson's Black Valentine Bean is the champion 

 of all the dwarf green-podded snap beans, for I have tested all the 

 good varieties. The Black Valentine is the best for both early and 

 late planting and will stand wet, cold weather. It is of the finest 

 quality, easy to pick, and is the most productive bean on ths market 

 today, but they must be gathered at the right lime." 



S. E. THURSTON, New Canaan, Conn. 



Detroit Dark Red Beet. 



Probably the best of the larger sorts. It succeeds 

 equally well at all seasons, and is one of the best to 

 sow in early spring, to succeed the extra early and 

 medium crop sorts. It may be sown about August 

 1st (in this vicinity) for a crop to store for winter. 

 The flesh is solid, always tender, of good flavor and 

 excellent color. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 

 lb., $2.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



Early Blood 

 Turnip Beet. 



This is a great im- 

 provement upon the old 

 standard variety, Early 

 Blood Turnip Beet. It 

 is a great favorite with 

 many gardeners and is 

 very attractive in ap- 

 pearance, the roots being 

 smooth and uniform, 

 and the color deep blood 

 red. The flesh is tender 

 and sweet, and it is an 

 excellent variety for 

 canning. 



This variety should be 

 sown for a late crop on 

 account of its quickness 

 in maturing. For winter 

 storage it is unexcelled.
