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 anv other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. 

 oz., 15c. '}{ lb., 30c. lb. (10 lbs. and upwards 25c. lb.) 



"I want to let you know how remarkably well your Thick Leaved 

 Spinach has stood the cold weather. We had a 12 day cold spell, with 

 zero temperature a number of times, ground is frozen solid. The 

 Thick Leaved Spinach is all alive with about half the leaves uninjured."

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. J4 lb., 25c. lb. (10 lbs. and upwards 20c. lb.) 



HENDERSON'S THICK-LEAVED SPINACH 



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

 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. M lb., 25c. lb. (10 lbs. and upwards 20c. lb.) 



King of Denmark Spinach 



This is a variety of- comparatively recent introduction, 

 and seems destined to surplant older varieties for spring 

 sowing; because it is extremely slow to go to seed. 



It is very dwarf, and makes a wonderfully quick growth, 

 setting an abundance of dark green tender leaves, dis- 

 tinctively crumpled. It is ready for cutting as soon as 

 other varieties and we think it a great addition to the list of 

 varieties for the trucker. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. J4 lb., 

 50c. lb. 



TOMATO JOHN BAER 



A FINE MARKET GARDENER'S VARIETY 



John Baer Tomato is a wonderful tomato for shipping and 

 therefore an excellent variety for the Market Gardener. 

 It is extra early, perfectly round in form; of an attractive 

 bright red color; has very few seeds and no core and is 

 sweet and mild in flavor. The fruits ripen clear up to the 

 stem end, and the plants are surprisingly productive 

 often producing as many as fifty to one hundred fruits. 

 (See Engraving.) Price, 40c. oz., $1.40 }i lb., $5.00 lb.
