PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



i 



SHORT^LEAVED EARLY WHITE 



VIENNA KOHLRABI. 



Kohl-Rabi is a bulbous formed vegetable much appreciated 

 in Europe and too little known in America. It is usually cooked 

 before fully grown, when it is tender and excellent. This variety 

 is one of the best, being very early, rapid growing, tender and 

 delicately flavored. The bulb is large enough to be eaten in 

 from 10 to 12 weeks from sowing and as they are more tender 

 and delicately flavored before being fully matured, it is advisable 

 to make successive sowings, rather than depend upon a standing 

 crop. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. i lb., S2.50 lb. 



Large^Leaved Corn Salad or Fetticus. 



We offer nothing but the hardy, large leaved strain, which is

Price, 10c. oz., 20c. i lb., 60c. lb., 25 lbs, and over, 55c, lb.

BLACK BEAUTY EGG PLANT. 



A handsome, early, large variety of great merit, a pro- 

 lific producer of uniformly large, purple black fruits of 

 fine quality, developing with rapidity and ready about 

 two weeks earlier than other large sorts.

KALE OK BOKECOLE. . 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter 

 and spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in garnish- 

 ing. The plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the 

 quality. The leaves are very large, deeply curled and fringed, 

 and of that desirable rich bright green color; the plants are of 

 very dwarf, even growth, the leaves hugging the ground, so 

 that they are not broken off by heavy, wet snow, as often 

 happens with taller types. 



Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. \ lb., 80c. lb. 



KALE SIBEKIAN. 



Green, curly leaves, tender and of delicate flavor. 



Our stock of this well-known variety is carefully selected to a 

 uniform type, which is far superior to the strains usually sold. 

 In color it cannot be surpassed. Its uniformly dwarf habit 

 renders it particularly valuable for wintering over in the South 

 for spring marketing. 



Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. J lb., 60c. lb. 



ENDIVE. 



Leading Varieties for Market Gardeners.

 also much used for garnishing; if boiled makes fine 

 " greens." Successive sowings furnish a supply almost 

 the year round. 



GREEN CURLED. A popular sort with finely cut 

 leaves. Our strains is a long-standing type. It is

BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN, or Escarolle. Large 

 thick, broad leaves; it forms large hearts, which, 

 blanched, form one of the best winter salads, though 

 it is often marketed without blanching. It is in great 

 demand in all sections, especially by the French and 

 Italian. Price 15c. oz., 40c. i lb., $1.25 lb.
