EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



HENDERSON'S 



Earlykrop Cabbage 



(Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1925) 

 The Earliest and Most Profitable Round Headed 

 Variety. Offered for the First Time in 1925. 

 The Ideal Variety for the Home Gardener 

 259. Henderson's New Earlykrop is the earliest round 

 headed cabbage on the market. It finishes with the 

 Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike that type, it remains 

 in perfect condition on the field for a long time, without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a very desirable 

 quality for the home gardener who wants his crop to 

 extend over a long period of time. 



The quality of this cabbage is all that can be desired. 

 It is very tender and delicately flavored, and when sliced 

 raw it possesses a delightful brittleness, making it most 

 desirable for salads, slaws and the like. 



The compact, uniformity of Henderson's New Early- 

 krop makes a growing field of it a picture to behold.

Superlatively Sweet — Temptingly Tender — A Delicious Morsel 



Heavy Crops on Small Plots Are Possible With Cupid 

 110. HENDERSON'S NEW CUPID is one of the earliest varieties 

 — by this we mean that it grows and is fit for eating in a shorter 

 period of time, than almost any other variety. The "whiteness" of 

 the kernels is -also a marked feature and. as may be seen by the 

 illustration opposite, they are truly as white as "driven snow." 



The ears grow to a length of five or six inches, and each ear has 

 an ample stem or handle, which should be left on when cut, -so that 

 when served at the table Lhe ear will be more convenient to hold. 

 Served in this manner, and eaten from the ear, it makes a very 

 dainty and delicious morsel. Our grower remarked when testing 

 this corn for quality, that he had been growing sugar coin tor a 

 great many years, and knew all the leading varieties, but that he 

 was sure that HENDERSON'S NEW CUPID SWEET CORS ex- 

 celled them all. 



One of the most desirable characteristics of HENDERSON'S 

 NEW CUPID SWEET CORN is the dwarf size of the stalks, which 

 never attain a height of more than four feet, enabling the suburb- 

 anite to raise twice as much corn on the same space of ground*

HENDERSON'S 



Early Butternut Lettuce 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1923 



Valuable for Forcing in the Frame 

 Earliest Head Lettuce for Growing in the Garden 



499. Of the popular butterhead type this lettuce is valuabl 

 not only for forcing but for its compact, creamy-white head 

 It is 5 days earlier than any other. Many growers have ex- 

 perienced difficulty in forcing Lettuce in frames on account 

 of mildew and other fungus diseases. Our trials have proven 

 that Henderson's Early Butternut Lettuce is immune. (Se 

 engraving.)
