The Best 



Radishes... 



Henderson's New Rose Turnip Radish. A rosy pink variety, novel and beautiful ; 

 an acquisition, and it is one of the best Badishes we have ever seen. It is similar to the round 

 varieties in shape and size, and has a small, compact top and a miniature tap root. It is very 

 early, requiring only 22 days to mature it, and remains in good condition for ten days, even 

 in a trying season. Its appearance is incomparable when prepared for table. (See cut.) 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. %. lb., $2.00 lb. 



Henderson's New White Chartier Radish. This white form of our old favorite Chartier 

 is, of course, a summer Eadish, succeeding best when treated as such. It matures 

 in about 40 days from time of sowing and remains fit for use for about 14 days after. 

 The flesh is crisp, tender, pure white, and the bulb is free from any roughness. The flavor 

 is mild and it is invaluable for slicing. The tops are short and it matures a little earlier than 

 the old Chartier. 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. JJ lb., $2.o0 lb. 



Beckert's Chartier. The color at top is crimson, running into pink at middle, and from 

 thence downward is pure, waxy white. It will attain a very large size before it becomes 

 unfit for use. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. )i lb., 80c. lb. 



French Breakfast. Mild and tender, and one of the best for either forcing or open ground 

 planting. Oval form, scarlet tipped with white. 6c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. )£ lb., 70c. lb. 



Early Round Dark Red. Medium in size, rich dark red in color ; the root is clean and 

 smooth, and the top is small. There is no radish in cultivation that remains fit for use for so 

 long a time. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. % lb., 65c. lb. 



The Best 



HENDEBSON'S NEW BOSE TURNIP BADISB. 



The 



Best 

 Summer 



Squashes.. 



Spinach 



For Spring Sowing. 



Thick Leaved. One of the best sorts. 

 It produces a large, thick, succulent 

 green leaf, somewhat crumpled, and 

 possesses the valuable quality of 

 standing a long time before running 

 to seed. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 

 15c. U lb., 45c. lb.

Henderson's " New Cream-colored " Bush Sum- 

 mer Crookneck. The crookneck class of squashes sur- 

 passes in quality any of the summer varieties, and in 

 the " Cream-colored " Mammoth we have the delicious 



buttery flavor of the original sort, but of just double the size. The exterior is 

 " cream-colored," very distinct and beautiful, very uniform in shape, form and 

 color. (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 , J 4 lb. 



Golden Custard Bush. Exceeds in size any of the scalloped sorts, frequently 

 2 feet in diameter. A dark rich golden yellow. Quality excellent. It grows in 

 bush form, wonderfully productive. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz„ 30e. )± lb., 90c. lb. 



Long' Island White Bush. A selection of the old White Bush Scallop, and a 

 vast improvement, having less prominent ridges and being much deeper, so that 

 a single Squash actually contains nearly twice as much weight as the old sort. In 

 addition to this, it is of finer quality and very prolific. 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. ,' 4 

 lb., $1.50 lb. 



The Best Summer and Winter Squash. 



Henderson's Delicata Squash. The most deliciously flavored Squash grown. 

 Dry, rich and prolific, early to late. A beautiful Squash, orange yellow, splashed 

 and striped dark green. The quality is particularly fine, rich and dry. For 

 private use, particularly, we recommend this Squash, as it far surpasses in rich- 

 ness of flavor any of the large, old-fashioned sorts. The Delicata is the earliest 

 of any vine Squash, maturing about the same time as the Summer Squashes, and 

 will doubtless supplant this watery, tasteless class, and is so prolific that last 

 season, from twelve hills of two plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were gathered. 

 Although of small size, this variety is wonderfully solid and heavy, the seed 

 cavities being very small. Its extreme solidity renders it fully as good a keeper 

 as any of the winter varieties. 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 )i lb., $3.00 lb. 



The Best Winter Squash. 



Henderson's Early Prolific Marrow. A fall and winter Squash. 

 Shaped somewhat like Boston Marrow, but much earlier, a beautiful orange 

 color, suffused yellow. The rind is very hard, but thin, and the flesh is deep, 

 fine-grained and of delicious quality. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. H lb., 80c. lb.
