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



SPARKS' EAPvLIANA TOMATO 



A wonderfully early and exceedingly prolific medium-sized, uniform, smooth and 

 attractively shaped, bright scarlet tomato, of great solidity and fine flavor. It is 

 one of the earliest tomatoes grown, having been evolved through keen competition 

 in a tomato-growing section in Southern New Jersejs where earliness and quality 

 secure profitable returns. The plant is of neat, moderate growth, but quite 

 hardy and well set with clusters of from 5 to 8 fruits, averaging 2^ inches through 

 nearly all ripening up remarkably early and evenly; of great value to the market 

 gardener where early tomatoes are an object. {See cut.) Price, 25c. oz., 80c. 

 Jib., $2.75 lb. 



JUNE PINK TOMATO 



This variety has rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It is a selection 

 from Spark's Earliana, but it has a distinct advantage in color, being of the bright 

 purplish pink known as the " Acme Color." This insures its more readj' sale on 

 some markets where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop of 

 marketable sized fruits as earlj^ in the season as the earliest varieties. Its shipping 

 qualities are admirable. The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center 

 of the plant exposed, so that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly exposed to the 

 sun, which facilitates the early ripening. The fruits are generally smooth. The 

 flesh is remarkably solid, and of a most agreeable flavor, so whether used for 

 shipping or for local markets, it will certainly meet with favor. Price, 30c. oz. 

 $1.00 ilb., SS.OOlb. 



STONE TOMATO 



Large, Regularly Shaped Fruit, Flesh Firm. Skin Scarlet and Good Shipper. 



This is one of the best and most popular main crop varieties for market gardeners. 

 The plant is a strong grower, is very prolific, and possesses every requisite for a 

 salable tomato; the fruits are large, smooth, almost round, being very deep, slightly 

 flattened at the base and top; the color is an attractive, vivid scarlet. The skin is 

 tough and the flesh unusually solid and firm making it one of the best shippers. 

 The quality is unsurpassed for either cooking, canning or slicing, being meaty 

 and firm. {See Cut) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. I lb., $2.00 lb. 



"Your Tomato {Stone) is all yon claim Jor it a7id inore. It is large, very prolific and has all the good 

 qualities of a first class Tomato. It ripens evenly from top to stem."

LIVINGSTON'S GLOBE TOMATO 



A large globe-shaped, early fruited purplish variety, exceedingly productive. It 

 is largely grown in some sections, particularly in the Southern States where it can 

 be picked before thoroughlv ripe and shipped to Northern markets. Price 30c. 

 oz. 1.00 i lb. $3,50 lb. 



NOKFOLK 

 SAVOY^LEAVED SPINACH. 



A very popular variety to sow for the late 

 fall cutting. It is quick growing and a heavy 

 cropper, producing large, fleshy, dark green 

 leaves as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage. 

 It is largely grown in the South for winter and 

 early spring crops. If sown in the spring it must 

 be cut as soon as readv, as it quickly runs to 

 seed. Price, 5c. oz., 10c. J lb., 16c. lb., $15.00 

 per 100 lbs., 25 lbs. or over sold at 100 lb. rate. 



A FINE MARKET SPINACH 

 HENDERSONS THICK LEAVED. 



This is a favorite variety in the northern 

 markets, its many excellent qualities recommend- 

 ing it to producer and consumer. It is composed 

 of large, thick, strong, green leaves very suc- 

 culent, no better " greens " to be found. It is 

 very healthy in the field, remarkably free from 

 the disease which has appeared on other varieties 

 in some sections of the country. Another very 

 valuable characteristic which it possesses is that 

 it remains standing a very long time in the field 

 before running to seed. This, needless to remark 

 is a great advantage to the grower. Price, 5c. 

 oz., 10c. i lb., 22c. lb., $20.00 per 100 lbs. 

 25 lbs. or over sold at 100 lb. rate.
