EXTKA EAKLY 



Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERB STRAIN. 



While the famous Henderson's Early Snowball is beyond 

 any question the finest sort for all-round work and especially 

 frame culture, it is only fair to urge the claims of our wonder- 

 fully fine strain of Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, which is one of 

 the'very best varieties for field cultivation, for either early 

 or late, heading with great certainty, under ordinarily fa- 

 vorable conditions producing extra large, deep, solid white 

 flowers. The plant is of large, sturdy, robust growth, having 

 a. strong frame with short, broad leaves which furnish ample 

 protection to the flower. This is of the finest quality, always 

 clear, with even surface, without any leaf growing between, 

 and unsurpassed in appearance. 



For many years we have held the bulk of the trade in 

 sections where large fields of Cauliflower are grown for 

 Eastern markets and almost entirely with this sort. Price, 

 15c. pkt., $2.00 oz., $7.00 i lb., $28.00 lb. 



"For twelve years we have used your Early Dwarf Erfurt Cauliflower 

 and have never seen anything to equal them ."

HENDERSON'S 



COKELESS CAPvKOT. 



Although but recently distributed this highly bred early 

 carrot has already become very popular; its combination of 

 many good qualities certainly justifying the preference given 

 it. 



Henderson's Coreless excels all half long carrots in earli- 

 ness, productiveness, handsome appearance and fine quality. 

 The roots are of medium size — 6 to 7 inches long — the ideal 

 for table use. In form they are almost perfectly cylindrical 

 with blunt base, small tap root, small fine tops and a very 

 smooth skin. They run very uniform and even in size and 

 shape, pull easily and bunch well on account of the small 

 shoulder, but the crowning merit of this variety is its superb 

 quality. The flesh of rich orange-red is very fine grained, 

 tender throughout, entirely free from the woody, yellow 

 heart or core so usual in most red fleshed carrots. The 

 flavor is also mild, sweet and delicious. 



Both for the home garden and for market, Henderson's 

 Coreless Carrot is perfection. (See cut.) 



Price, 16c. oz., 40c. i lb., $1.20 lb. 



CHANTENAY 



HALF^LONG SCARLET CARROT, 



A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, very 

 productive and of fine quality. It is very largely grown for 

 bunching and as an early basket sort. It is remarkably even 

 in shape and size; no sort, equals it in this respect. For me- 

 dium early and main crop it is unexcelled. It is not recom- 

 mended for winter storing. Price, 10c. oz., 30c. j lb., 90c. lb. 



"Your Half- Long Scarlet Carrot is an early and very productive kind." 



L. W. TAYLOR, Napavine, Wash. 



HENDERSON'S NEW YORK MARKET CARROT. 



This Carrot, introduced by us, has become a standard variety. 

 Its quick growth makes it valuable for early bunching. It is 

 handsome and symmetrical, of bright orange color; flesh crisp, 

 tender and sweet, almost coreless, unexcelled for bunching, 

 and as a basket sort it commands top prices, its attractive color 

 and fine shape always giving it prominence. Price, 10c. oz., 

 30c. i lb., 90c. lb. 



IMPROVED LONG ORANGE CARROT. 



An improved strain of this popular variety for either garden 

 or field culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches 

 in diameter at the top; an enormous yielder and a good keeper. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 25c. { lb., 80c. lb. 



" Last season I raised Long Orange Carrots from seeds purchased from you that 

 measured li feel in length and 4 inches in diameter."

SELECTED 



HENDERSON'S 



DANVERS 



CARROT. 



A handsome, half-long, stump-rooted Carrot of good size and 

 of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large size, is smooth 

 and the flesh very close in texture with very little core and a 

 small tap-root. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils; under good 

 cultivation it has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre with the smallest 

 length of root of any now grown, and is more easily harvested 

 than long Carrots. Our selected stock is specially grown for 

 market gardeners, to whom it gives the best satisfaction. (See 

 cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 35c. | lb., $1.00 lb. 



For our cheaper strain of Danvers see page 36. 



"Your Selected Half-Long Danvers is the best carrot I ever saw. It yielded me 

 33 tons per acre of high grade table carrots." 



HENRY GREFFRATH. South Lima. X. Y. 



HENDERSON'S 



INTERMEDIATE CARROT. 



The best main crop and late Carrot. It is most uniform in 

 shape, long-tapering, heavy shouldered, and where the soil is 

 favorable it will always grow clean and free from side roots. The 

 core is small and very tender, and there is no woody character 

 at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free from any 

 coarse, rank flavor and its yielding capacity is enormous, which, 

 with its handsome color and fine appearance, makes it invaluable 

 to truckers. The color is maintained right along throughout the 

 winter and they come out of the pits as bright and fresh as 

 when first dug. This makes it the best sort for winter-storing 

 (See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 35c. \ lb., $1.00 lb. 



"I have bought my Carrot Seed from your house for several years, because it 

 always has given me the highest satisfaction."
