HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS 



HENDERSON'S 

 LONG SEASON SPINACH 



Spinach sown in the late spring and summer has a 

 most aggravating habit of going to seed just when it 

 should be ready for market. Henderson's Long 

 Season grows more slowly than others, but after 

 attaining its growth will stay in that condition for 

 a much longer time than any other variety. 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 crop early in spring. The plant is 

 small, with lustrous green leaves, which are short, 

 broad, very thick, and of so great substance that they 

 lose less bulk in cooking than any other. 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. It occupies less room 

 than any other sort. {See engraving). Price, 10c. 

 oz., 20c. M lb., 50c. lb. 



NORFOLK 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 ready, as it quickly runs to seed. {See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. oz., 15c. % lb., 40c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



THICK^LEAVED SPINACH 



The best sort for fall sowing to winter over for spring cutting, Demg 

 very hardy. It produces large, thick, bright green crumpled leaves of 

 fine quality, yielding a heavy crop, and is one of the best market sorts. 

 It is also much used for spring sowing, being slow to run to seed and 

 standing the heat well until about the middle of June. Price, 10c. oz., 

 15c. )i lb., 35c. lb. 



Henderson's 

 White-Tipped Early Scarlet Turnip Radish 



For many years we have found this variety to be the most 

 popular of all among market gardeners. It is unsurpassed as a 

 table Radish, where by reason of the strong contrasting colors 

 of the root it makes a most attractive appearance. The flesh is 

 crisp, white and tender and extremely mild. Price, 10c. oz., 

 25c. \i lb., 80c. lb. (10 lbs. and over 70c. lb.) 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE RADISH 



The best of the forcing varieties. The roots are a little longer 

 than round, the skin intense scarlet in color, with tiny threadlike 

 roots. We exercise unusual care to procure only perfect stocks 

 of this variety and we believe no better can be had. {See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. oz., 30c. Ji lb., $1.00 lb. (10 lbs. and over 90c. lb.) 



RED FORCING RADISH 



An ideal round red variety with very small tops. It is a favorite 

 variety with market gardeners and properly grown, it will mature 

 in 3 weeks. The color is vivid red. Price, 10c. oz., 30c. 34 lb., 

 $1.00 lb. (TO lbs. and over 90c. lb.)
