Vegetables for the Epicure 



To Enjoy Vegetables at Their Best, Qrow Them in Your Own Qarden 

 So They May Come to You Sparkling With the Morning Dew 



We know of no axiom that is based upon 

 sounder fact than the old American Ex- 

 pression the "Nearer the Pot the Sweeter 

 the Corn." This fact applies not only to 

 sweet corn but also to many other deli- 

 cately flavored vegetables. 



There is a thrill of delight awaiting those 

 who have never before tasted the exquisite 

 richness of selected varieties of fresh 

 vegetables obtained directly from their 

 own garden. The inherent goodness of such 

 vegetables can not be purchased at any 

 price. 



To the right are listed a few varieties 

 that have been chosen by leading American 

 Chefs for their delicious flavor, and general 

 superiority. They are particularly adapted 

 for the home garden and we feel confident 

 that upon trial they will receive the en- 

 dorsement of all who enjoy the better 

 things in life. 



Very explicit instructions covering the 

 culture of quality and prize winning veg- 

 etables are given in Henderson's Garden 

 Guide & Record sent free on request with 

 order amounting to $3.00 or over. 



Full description of each of the varieties 

 given under their respective headings 

 in the catalog.

ASPARAGUS 



CULTURE — Asparagus may be grown in almost any 

 soil or situation, but special success is attained in thor- 

 oughly enriched, deeply dug sandy loam. Beds cared for 

 improve with age. lasting for many years. Asparagus may 

 be grown from seed, but as it should not be cut before it is three or four years old, time is saved by buying and plant- 

 ing roots.
