World- Famous Vegetables Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. 



{Shown in Colors on Opposite Page.) 



THE ORIGINAL 



Henderson Bush Lima Bean 



HENDERSON'S 



Big Boston Lettuce 



A Grand, Large, Cabbage Lettuce 



The Best Head Lettuce on Earth. More Extensively Grown Than 

 Any Other Lettuce 



This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us, has proved 

 to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is now 

 more extensively grown than any other kind of Lettuce. North, South, 

 East or West. Grown in the open ground for early summer and fall 

 use, in frames for spring, or forced cool in greenhouses for winter use 

 it invariably gives both grower and user the utmost satisfaction, 

 producing, under ordinarily favorable conditions, splendid, large, 

 creamy-white heads, packed with thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, 

 tender and sweet, delighting both the palate and the eye. Big Boston 

 is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it succeeds at all 

 seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly 

 adapted for late fall culture. Large areas of it may be seen in the 

 vicinity of Xew York as late as Nov. loth; a slight covering of salt 

 marsh hay amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when 

 cut for market are as fresh, bright and untinged as at any season.

Henderson's Coreless Carrot 



The Finest Early Table Variety, Meltingly Tender and Sweet 



This Carrot, recently introduced by us, has proven one of the 

 most universally popular varieties ever sent out. People who never . 

 liked Carrots before are delighted with the melting tenderness and 

 sweet, mild flavor of Henderson's Coreless. 



It is a half-long, cylindrical Carrot, blunt-pointed, with a small 

 tap-root and small top. They run very uniform in shape and size, 

 6 to 7 inches long, by l}-£ inches through; clean skinned, smooth, 

 easily pulled and keep well. The flesh is of fine texture, entirely 

 devoid of stringiness, coarseness and woody heart or core. The 

 ?olor of the flesh is the rich red-orange so attractive when served. 

 Henderson's Coreless excels all other half-long Carrots in earliness 

 without being inferior to them in productiveness. (See opposite 

 page.) Price, 15c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 }| lb., $4.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



Easy-Blanching Celery 



Gaining in Popular Favor by Leaps and Bounds 



Emphatically Distinct from Any Other Sort. The Easiest and 



Quickest to Blanch. Excels All Late Sorts in Long-Keeping 



Quality. The Earliest and the Latest in One Row 



This splendid Celery was named and introduced by us. It has 

 already taken rank with other vegetables we have introduced, many 

 of which are the standard of merit and have achieved a world-wide 

 reputation. The original stock has been improved under our watch- 

 ful care and it is today as near perfection as nature can make it. 



Henderson's Easy-Blanching Celery excels in the qualities that 

 give Self-Blanching Celeries their value; it bleaches earlier and 

 quicker than any of this class. It is the longest keeping variety 

 grown (if put away green), excelling in this respect every other sort. 

 It has proved to be among the most valuable additions we have made 

 to the vegetable gardens of the world, and fit to take rank with the 

 many famous varieties of vegetables with which our name is asso- 

 ciated. 



Henderson's Easy-Blanching Celery is so easily grown that the 

 amateur can produce Celery equal in quality to that which formerly 

 could be grown only by skilled men equipped with years of experience. 



The plant is of medium height, of great vigor — having thick rather 

 than broad stalks, with shallow ribs. The leaves arc slightly but 

 densely crumpled, distinguishing it from any other variety. Its 

 quality is superb. 



The stalks are tender and brittle, and the flavor extremely spicy 

 and aromatic. (See opposite page.) Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 

 50c, $2.00 oz., $7.00 J 4 lb. 



" Henderson's Easy Blanching Celery is by far the best celery offered to the 

 rade today, excepting none. This is >nv humble opinion." 



Mr. W. J. SHAW, Lexington. Va. 

 "The Easy Blanching Celery Seed received by us from you las! year was fine." 

 Mr R. W. S.TEVENS, Ogden. Utah. 



THE "BABY" LIMA BEAN 



This wonderful innovation created a greater furore than any oi the 

 famous vegetables we have introduced, with the exception of the 

 Ponderosa Tomato. Those who never had a vegetable garden before 

 were induced to plant the Henderson Bush Lima Bean, because it 

 enabled them to have the most delicious of all vegetables without 

 the trouble or expense of the unsightly poles. 



Henderson Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles in 

 compact bush form about 18 inches high, and produces enormous 

 crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be gathered as easily as 

 the common garden bush beans. Henderson's Bush Lima is at least 

 two weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limas. 



It produces a continuous crop from the time it comes into bearing 

 (it is fit for the table in the latitude of X#w York middle of July | 

 until frost, and being enormously productive, a very small patch will 

 keep a family supplied with this splendid vegetable through the sea- 

 son. The Beans are the size of the Sieva or Small Lima and of 

 delicious quality. 



They are very desirable served as green beans, either alone or eaten 

 with sweet corn in the form of succotash. 



Lima Beans are not used as largely as they should be, because it is 

 not generally known that in a dry state they can be used in the same 

 manner as the common beans, and keep equally well. Lima Beans 

 are much richer and more delicate in flavor than ordinary beans, and 

 are unexcelled for either boiling, baking or canning. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. pt., 75c. qt., $2.75 for 4 qts.
