Henderson's Improved New York 

 Spineless Egg Plant 



Our superior stock of this popular variety produces a large crop 

 of shapely, purple fruits of liberal size and perfect quality. 



The plant is of low growth with a vigorous branching habit, 

 strong enough to support its massive fruits and compact enough to 

 economize space. It is very prolific, the plants usually bearing 

 8 to 10 immense fruits of superb quality before being killed by 

 frost. (See illustration.) Price, oz. 55c, }4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 



Green Cured Endive 



The "Chicoree Frisee" of the French 



Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched 

 by covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. 

 Good results come from early spring sowing, and even better, when 

 treated as a fall crop. Successful sowing during July gives a con- 

 tinuous supply after cool weather. Price, oz. 20c, 34 lb. 60c, 

 lb. $2.00. 



Broad-Leaved Batavian Endive 



(Escarolle) 



leaves, forming a large heart; makes 

 excellent winter salad. It is 

 also boiled as "greens." Sow 

 in the same way as Green 

 Curled, but thin out the plants 

 to 10 inches apart in the rows. 

 Price, oz. 20c, % lb. 60c 

 lb. $2.00.

DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH KALE 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH KALE 



A SPECIALLY FINE STRAIN 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter and spring; 

 also used small, like spinach; and useful in garnishing. The plants are hardy 

 above zero; frost improves the quality. The leaves are very large, deeply 

 curled and fringed, and of a desirable rich bright green color; the plants are of 

 very dwarf, even growth. This variety is grown extensively in the south for 

 northern markets. {See engraving.) Price, oz. 15c, l /i lb. 40c, lb. $1.25. 

 (10 lbs. and upwards $1.00 lb.) 25 lb. lots @ 90c lb. 



EARLY WHITE SHORT-LEAVED VIENNA 



KOHL RABI 



The bulb is large enough to be eaten in from 10 to 12 weeks from sowing, 

 and as they are more tender and delicately flavored before fully matured, it is 

 advisable to make successive sowings, rather than depend upon a standing crop. 

 Price, oz. 30c, J4 lb. 90c, lb. $3.00. 



MUSSELBURGH OR SCOTCH CHAMPION LEEK 



This is the best variety for winter and spring use, being very hardy; it keeps 

 well when earthed up, making immense, stocky stems about 3 inches through by 

 6 to 8 inches long. The leaves are broad and flat, and recover their fresh green 

 color quickly in spring. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 25c, % lb. 85c, lb. $2.75. 



MUSSELBURGH OR SCOTCH CHAMPION LEEK 



"I am the third generation of my family raising Henderson's Seeds and Plants, and never have known any genera- 

 tion to have been dissatisfied. The best proof is my enclosed order."
