I SlSdersonj LQNG SEASON SPINACH 



Spinach sown in late spring and summer has a most aggravating habit of going 

 to seed just when it should be ready for use. Henderson's Long Season grows 

 more slowly than others, but after attaining its growth will stay in that 

 condition for a much longer time, so that with this variety there is nothing 

 to hinder any one from enjoying this delicious vegetable during the 

 entire season. 



This peculiar quality makes it ideal for a summer crop, a 

 season in which most varieties suffer severely, but it is also 

 extremely hardy. Sown in September and carried through 

 the winter with slight protection, it will give a good 

 supply early in spring. 



The plant is small, with lustrous green leaves, 

 These are short, broad, very thick, and of so 

 great eubstance- that it loses bulk in cooking 

 less than any other sort. The leaf stems 

 are very short, which so greatly reduces 

 the size of the plant that it forms a 

 compact, dense rosette, perfect in color 

 and substance, and unequalled in 

 flavor. It occupies less room than any 

 other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. 

 pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 1^4 lb., 50c. lb. 



"Please fill the enclosed order for Hender- 

 soji's Long Season Spinach. It is the best 

 Spinach I ever had."

"We and our neighbors are greatly pleased with 

 Henderson's Long Season Spinach. We have used our 

 early planting and intend to raise another crop before weleavelheisland." 

 Aug. 10th. 1914. MAR Y L. ADAMS, Bailey Island, Me.

ROUND-LEAVED OR DUTCH SPINACH 



One of the oldest and best-known sorts for the early spring crop 

 may be sown at intervals during April, from which very satisfactory 

 crops may be had quite early in the season. It succeeds equally 

 well as a fall crop, for which purpose it is sown during the first two 

 weeks in August. The plants are very compact, the 

 leaves thick and very tender. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 15c. ]4 lb., 40c. lb. 



MAMMOTH BUSH SUMMER 



CROOKNECK SQUASH 



A highly improved type of the popular Yellow 

 Summer Crookneck. It is just as early, and the 

 fruits are much larger, measuring 20 to 24 inches 

 in length, are solid, heavy and freely produced on 

 healthy, vigorous plants of compact bush habit; 

 fruits heavily warted; surface color, deep golden; 

 fiesh yellow and of superior quality. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. ]{ lb., $1.25 lb. 



HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 



WHITE BUSH SQUASH 



The white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cymling" 

 has for years been a favorite summer Squash, on 

 account of its earliness, etc., but this new sort is a 

 vast improvement; it is just as early, more prolific, 

 and the Squashes are much deeper, and have less 

 prominent scallops, consequently are easier pre- 

 pared, contain less waste and almost twice the 

 arnount of flesh, which is also of finer quality. 

 The plants are of the true bush habit. (See en- 

 griiving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. ii lb., 

 $1.25 lb. 



" Your Long Island White Bush Squash is a great 

 success here, proving very prolific."

Sandwich Islaod OrVljOir I Oyster Plant 



Salsify is one of the best of our root vege- 

 tables, and is rapidly increasing in popularity. 

 It is grown in the same way as the Parsnip, and 

 if grown in well prepared soil, will produce 

 large, smooth roots. Failing this, they are 

 liable to fork. 



Cooked in any form. Salsify is wholesome, 

 appetizing and nutritious. Its peculiar oyster- 

 like flavor is most apparent when sliced and 

 fried, and it may also be served and eaten as 

 Asparagus. It is one of the best remedies in 

 various forms of indigestion. Most of its 

 medicinal value is contained in the milk which 

 exudes from the skin; the surface 

 should therefore be broken as little 

 as possible. This is best avoided by 

 boiling whole, and peeling after 

 cooking. (Seeengraving.)
