GREENHOUSE VARIETIES 

 Henderson's Specially Selected Strains for Forcing 



Cherry - Belle 



CHERRY-BELLE 



A.A.S. Bronze Medol Winner 



This variety has found an important place among forcing va- 

 rieties. It will retain its short top when planted in the green- 

 house for the first fall crops, and in the late spring when 

 the relatively long daylight hours tend to make most strains 

 produce foo much top. It has also made a good record on 

 muck. The roots are as round and as red as Cherries, and 

 remarkably uniform in size and shape.

We are now supplying GRADED SEED in these two 

 Greenhouse RADISH STOCKS 



Scarlet Globe 



Cavalier 



Graded radish seed means more profits for the greenhouse operator. 

 It permits precision pianting. You can set the drill to give the desired 

 number of seeds to the foot, because the seeds run uniform in size. 

 Overcrowding that produces inferior roots and excessive leaf devel- 

 opment can be avoided. It follows too, that the crop will have 

 greater uniformity. 



Our high germinating graded seed means perfect greenhouse radish 

 crops. We are charging no higher prices for these graded stocks. 



SCARLET GLOBE GREENHOUSE STOCK (Graded Seed). This out 

 standing strain has been especially bred for growing under glass. 

 The tops are small, yet large enough for perfect bunching even 

 during the shortest days of mid-winter. The roots are just a little 

 longer than round, with a small slender tap root and a rich 

 bright scarlet color. The flesh is white, of fine texture, and un- 

 surpassed in quality. This strain is superior to any stock we have 

 ever seen from a standpoint of shape, uniformity, bright color, 

 and heavy yield. Season 21 days.
