8 EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN—Vegetable Seeds 
Henderson’s Superb Vegetable Novelties 
Our firm since its foundation in 1847 by the late Peter Henderson has played no inconsiderable part in improving— 
what are to mankind the most important of all plants—Edible Vegetables. 
In all of these endeavors spread out as they 
have been over a long stretch of years, we have always kept one guiding principle in view, viz.:—to improve and enhance 
the QUALITY of our products; and not to strive for size alone. 
like other branches of science, have made great strides during the past decade and 
. Plant Breeding and selection, 
results are now being obtained which the horticulturists of a generation ago did not dream of. 
On this page we take pleasure in offering three of the latest achievements of the plant breeders’ art. 
We can con- 
fidently say that for quality and flavor these novelties in each of their classes are far superior to any that have hitherto 
= 
been offered. We feel sure that all our friends will agree with us when they grow these de luxe vegetables in their gardens. 
Henderson’s 
New Butterhead Cabbage Lettuce 
‘‘Delicacy’ 
A Uniform and Sure Header. Very Slow in Shooting to 
Seed. A Wonderful Second Early Variety. 
501. There are really only four distinct species of that 
wonderful and universally used salad plant, termed by the 
ancients Lactuca sativa, and known to us moderns as Let- 
tuce. Briefly, they may be described as Cabbage, Butter- 
head, Crispyhead, Curled or Looseleaved and Cos or Romaine. 
These, of course, have produced many variations, some 
good and others not as good as the originals. Henderson’s 
New Lettuce DELICACY is a variation of the Cabbage 
Butterhead Lettuce section and among the many improve- 
ments noted in it is the very important one of being 
SLOWER TO GO TO SEED THAN ANY OTHER VARIETY. 
This is, of course, a great claim for us to make; but our 
tests and experiences with it for four successive seasons 
under varying climatic conditions amply justify us in making 
the assertion. 
Everyone will agree that another great requisite in a 
lettuce for private uses is QUALITY first and always. This 
desideratum is characteristic in a superlative degree . of 
Henderson’s New Butterhead Cabbage Lettuce DELICACY. 
Our plant expert who has been working upon it describes 
it as being a second early lettuce of medium size, with close 
compact heads, and with outer protecting leaves of a de- 
cided bronze color. The inner leaves and the heart are of 
a delicate creamy yellow, very attractive and alluring. It 
grows to a uniform size; is a sure header and we feel that 
it is a very great acquisition to our list of quality lettuces.

New Cos or Romaine Lettuce

The Earliest Romaine in the Garden. The Earliest and Best 
for Crops eases Glass. 
503. Romaine, or Cos ee toot as they are variously canted! 
have been great favorites in Europe for a century; but they 
never attained much popularity in America until we intro- 
duced our variety Trianon a few years ago. Since that 
time they have become known to a much larger number 
of people than before, and therefore much more popular as 
the appetizing flavor of Romaine is more and more appreci- 
ated by salad. lovers. 
Henderson’s New Romaine Lettuce “CRISPYCOS” is in 
many respects a decided improvement upon Trianon. It’s 
great recommendation is that it does not readily run to 
seed, and also that it is one of the best varieties for an early 
crop under glass. “Crispycos’” is undoubtedly a very fine 
lettuce of good green color with broad leaves, folding well 
in at the top, and producing hearts crisp and sweet. We 
will send with every order for lettuce, if requested, our 
little booklet “Salads Growing and Blanching,”’ which in- 
structs the beginner in a very concise manner regarding the 
best methods of growing lettuces and other salad plants.

as eaten raw as a salad. 
(See colored. plate opposite) 
The flavor when cooked is universally conceded to be superior to that of any variety of spinach. 
The vigorous plants produee large quantities of crisp dark green leaves, which resemble ostrich feather plumes; and the 
plants stand well the extremely hot days of summer. 
Sown at intervals of two or three weeks, a continuous growth of the 
fresh leaves will be put forth during the entire growing season.

duced by us some years ago.

very juicy and mildly pungent. 
What particularly distinguishes the new rocket variety and sets it apart from all others is its soft rose pink 
the coloring of which extends to the very tip of the radish. The flesh is white and tender, firm and crisp, 
Like the other Rocket Radishes, 
it is especially suited for growing- under glass during 
the winter, on account of the small top, and it may be grown ready for the table in twenty-one days. 
Henderson’s New Rose Rocket will do equally well outdoors, but like all radishes, they must, of course, be grown 
quickly, and pulled as soon as ready. Price, 20c. pkt.,
