VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^ 



HENDEKSON'S 



LONG SEASON 



SPINACH 



CPINACH is most extensively grown during 

 •^ the winter and spring months, for the reason 

 that the plants quickly run to seed in hot 

 weather. With our new Long Season variety, 

 Spinach may now be continuously grown in 

 any home gai^den, so that this most delicious 

 of "boiling greens" may be enjoyed not only 

 during cool weather months, but in the suin- 

 mer as well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, 

 tender and succulent, crumpled leaves of in- 

 tenseh' dark green color; their great substance 

 and short leaf stalks enable them to "stand 

 up" in hot weather, retaining their freshness 

 for a long period after cutting. There is no 

 other variety that will stand so long without 

 running to seed and remain in an edible condi- 

 tion. It is the best variety to be sown in 

 the spring, and at monthly intervals for a 

 successional summer supi:)lv. (Scecut.) Price, 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. ^i lb., 50c. lb.

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 



SALSIFY or Oyster Plant 



/^\"E of the must ileliciousof winter vegetables. 

 ^^ and also one of the most nutritious; the tlavoi 

 is sweet and highly esteemed whether served

 sliced and fried, or used in soup. 



This variety, where known, is entirely supci- 

 seding the old type, as it produces roots nearly 

 double the size and weight and of equall}'' gouil 

 quality. Seed sown in spring produces large, 

 fine roots that inay remain in the ground all win- 

 ter or may be dug and stored in sand or earth in

 to be used as desired during the winter. (See cut. }

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 



White Bush Squash 



'T'HE white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cym- 

 ling" has for years been a favorite summer 

 Squash, on account of its earliness, etc., but this 

 is a vast improvement ; it is nearly as early, more 

 prolific and the Squashes are much deeper, and 

 have less prominent scallops, consequently are 

 easier prepared, contain less waste and almost 

 twice the ainount of flesh, which is also of finer 

 quality. The plants are of the true bush habit. 

 (See cut on next page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 

 35c. 14 lb., $1.10 li).
