EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



Henderson's 

 New Garden Pea 



Jubilant 



Introduced by Peler Henderson & Co, w 'n 1925 

 One of the Best Second Early Varieties. Large Opulent Pods Containing 



8 to 10 Luscious Marrow Peas 

 166. This, the supreme development in the already famous aggregation of 

 edible peas, is truly well named — for "Jubilant" indeed were all those who ate 

 of this unrivaled delicacy grown in our test plots last year. 



The Jubilant Pea is medium early, beginning to bear a few days after our 

 famous Prosperity has started. ' The plants which are extremely vigorous, 

 grow to a height of 3% to 4 feet. The large deep green pods literally cover 

 the vines. The pods, which are easily shelled, are usually filled -with 9 to 10 

 large luscious marrow peas of exquisite flavor. 



The vigorous constitution of the plant makes it practically immune to 

 blight and consequently the production of peas is extended over a long period.

Admiral Beatty Pea 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1924 

 The Very Best Second Early — Eight to Ten Peas of Delicious Quality 

 140. The "Admiral Beatty" garden pea was obtained by crossing the well- 

 known varieties, Gradus and Alderman, and the result is a pea in which the 

 good points of both parents are combined. It takes its place naturally in the 

 second early class, and pickings are usually made about ten days after Hen- 

 derson's Prosperity Peas are ripe. Everybody will be pleased with the heavy 

 crop borne by the sturdy vines, which grow to a height of four feet, and 

 with the flavor and quality of the eight to ten large peas contained in the 

 long pointed pods. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 55c. pt., $1.00 qt.

Henderson's New Radish 



"Rose Rocket" 



A Pretty Little Radish of a Distinctively Soft 

 Pink Rose Color. Offered for the First Time in 1926 



751. This is a decided acquisition, and a very 

 notable addition to Henderson's celebrated trio of 

 Rocket Radishes introduced by us some years ago. 



As all our friends know — a dish of Henderson's 

 Rocket Radishes presents a most beautiful and 

 tempting appearance on the table, and they will 

 find the combination more attractive still when 

 HENDERSON'S NEW ROSE ROCKET is added 

 to it. What particularly distinguishes the new 

 rocket variety and sets it apart from all others is 

 its soft rose pink colored skin; the coloring of 

 which extends to the very tip of the radish. The 

 flesh is white and tender, firm and crisp, very 

 juicy and mildly pungent. 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. (See engraving.) Price,; 20c. pkt., 6 pkts. 

 for $1.00. 



It Is Cooked Like Spinach — Piquant in Flavor 

 586. The ordinary Mustard Plant is usually eaten as a salad only; but Ford- 

 hook Fancy is used cooked like Spinach as well as eaten raw as a salad. 



The flavor when cooked is universally conceded to be superior to that of 

 any variety of spinach. 



The vigorous plants produce quantities of crisp, pungent dark green leaves, 

 resembling ostrich feather plumes, which invests it with a highly 

 desirable and ornamental appearance quite distinct from any Other 

 variety. Indeed, it is so very attractive in its habit of growth, and 

 in the feathery effect of the finely lascinated and curly plumes, 

 that it is used by many as an ornamental border plant. 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. One ounce will sow 100 

 feet of drill. Price, 15c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.00 lb.
