HENDERSON'S 



Rocket Radishes 



A dish composed of these three Rockets, presents a most attractive 

 appearance when prepared for the table, and we advise everyone to 

 grow some of each. In addition to their bright appearance, they are 

 among the earliest varieties grown, and they mature at exactly the 

 same time. For these reasons, they are used very extensively for forcing, 

 when they may be had in 2 1 days from sowing. They do equally well 

 outdoors, but in common with all Radishes, must be grown under 

 conditions that induce rapid growth, for only then will they acquire 

 proper flavor and crispness. They must be pulled just as soon as ready, 

 for, like all quick growing Radishes, they soon become pithy. 

 WHITE-TIPPED ROCKET RADISH. This is the ideal first early 



Radish. The color is deep rose, tipped white at the base. The 



flavor is deliciously mild. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c.

of drill.) 



Salsify is one of the best of our root vegetables, and is rapidly 

 increasing in popularity. It is grown in the same way as the 

 Parsnip, and if grown in well prepared soil, will produce large, 

 smooth roots. Failing this, they are liable to fork. 



Cooked in any form, Salsify is wholesome, appetizing and nu- 

 tritious. Its peculiar oyster-like flavor is most apparent when 

 sliced and fried, and may also be served and eaten as Asparagus. 

 It is one of the best remedies in various forms of indigestion. 

 Most of its medicinal value is contained in the milk which exudes 

 from the skin, the surface should therefore be broken as little as 

 possible. This is best avoided by boiling whole, and peeling 

 after cooking.

produces large, smooth roots of excellent quality. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. \i lb., $1.50 lb.

A perennial plant, resembling and grown like Salsify. The

 cious. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. \i lb., $2.50 lb. 



SEA KALE
