HENDERSON’S NEW 
Golden Heart 
Summer Endive 
A Valuable New Salad Plant 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1922 
457. A new addition to the family of Salad Plants should be 
hailed with delight for there are no vegetables that are of greater 
importance. Their healthful, invigorating and zest-giving quali- 
ties are fully recognized and extolled by leading dietitians. 
Henderson’s Golden Heart Summer Endive is particularly 
valuable because it reaches perfection in midsummer, when other 
salad plants are scarce. 
Henderson’s Golden Heart Summer Endive is a vigorous 
grower and produces an attractive, very compact plant. As the 
plant develops the center changes from green to a beautiful 
creamy yellow, giving it a most inviting and appetizing appear- 
ance, and in fact gives the impression of having been artificially 
blanched. The leaves which are crisp and tender have a delightful, 
nutty flavor that is greatly relished. (See engraving.) Price, 20c.

Henderson's Booklet, ‘Salads, Growing and Blanching,” tells all about the culti- 
vation of lettuce. It also explains how to grow all other salad plants. How to force 
Witloof, Chicory, Endive, etc., for winter salads. It is sent free if requested when 
ordering.

Green Curled Endive 
_ The “‘Chicoree Frisee”’ of the French 
_ 459. An excellent salad plant, available long after the season 
for Lettuce, and more easily grown. _The flavor is pleasantly 
_ bitter, stimulating and zest-giving. Is used also boiled as.greens. 
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched 
by covermeg the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. 
After severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely 
in”, cellar for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 
feet apart and 14 inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, 
thin the plants out to 8 mches apart and cultivate thoroughly 
while growing. A very early crop may be grown by starting the 
seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. Good results come 
from early spring sowing, and even better, when treated as a fall 
- crop. Suceessional sowings during July give a continuous supply 
after cool weather, and with a slight covering the plants may be 
kept in good condition well into November. Price, 10c. pkt.,
