Triumphs of Vegetable Perfection 



Shown in Colors on Opposite Page 



The New "Straight Neck" Squash 



Golden Summer Bush Squash of Delicious Flavor 



Q QO This new squash as may be seen at a glance has an obvious ad- 

 *'*' vantage over other varieties, because of its straight neck, which 

 makes it much easier to prepare for cooking than its parent variety, the 

 old and much esteemed Mammoth Bush Summer Crookneck. Also it 

 will be a boon to the market gardener and trucker on account of the ease 

 with which it can be packed in crates or barrels owing to its straight 

 neck. 



For the rest, it is similar in color and flavor to the parent variety, 

 which is the highest praise that could be accorded to it. As will be seen 

 in the colored plate opposite, the skin is of a 3eep golden orange color. 



The flesh is inclined to be salmon in color, and when cooked, is so 

 delicious that everybody asks for more. We think it is a very important 

 addition to the list of new varieties. 



Price, pkt. 20c.; oz. 50c.: H lb. $1.50. 



The Famous Sugar Corn 



Golden Bantam 



A Gem for the Small Garden. Small Ear of Remarkable Quality 

 and Flavor 



1 1 Q Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early variety of exceptionally 

 good quality and reliability. It has become one of the most 

 popular varieties in our list. The plant is about 5 feet high, medium 

 early, but exceptionally stocky and vigorous. It is particularly well 

 adapted to small gardens on account of its small size; to the more pre- 

 tentious garden on account of its excessive cropping ability on a given 

 area. 



It may be planted to advantage in hills 3 feet apart each way. If 

 in rows they should be 3 feet apart and the plants singly at 12 inches 

 apart. It is probably the best to use where only one sort is planted, for 

 it succeeds admirably under all conditions. 



Price, pkt. 15c.; pt. 45c; qt. 85c.; 4 qts. $3.00; peck $5.50; trans- 

 portation paid. 



Henderson's New Sweet Sugar Corn 



Cupid 



Introduced by Peter Henderson 6* Co., 1923 

 Superlatively Sweet — Temptingly Tender — A Delicious Morsel — 

 11 A Henderson's New Cupid is one of the earliest varieties — by 

 this we mean that it grows and is fit for eating in a shorter period 

 of time, than almost any other variety. The ears grow to a length of 

 ; or 6 inches, and each ear has an ample stem or handle, which should 

 1 ileft on when tut, so that when served at the table the ear will be more 

 convenient to hold. Served in this manner, and eaten from the ear, it 

 makes a very dainty and delicious morsel. 



Our grower remarked when testing this corn for quality, that he had 

 been growing sugar corn for a great many years, and knew all the leading 

 varieties, but that he was sure that Henderson's New Cupid Sweet 

 Corn excelled them all. 



The dwarf size of the stalks, which never attain a heigh of more than 

 4 feet, enables the suburbanite to raise more corn on the same space 

 of ground. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 15c; pt. 45c; qt. 85c; 4 qts. $3.00; peck, $5.50: trans-

Henderson's 



New Carrot "Tendersweet" 



Introduced by Peter Henderson &• Co.. 1928 



The Sweetest, Tenderest and Hardiest Red Carrot Grown 



310 Tne food va,ue °' Carrots is so thoroughly appreciated that 

 any improvements in this standard table favorite is sure at this 

 time to be received with insrantaneous favor by both amateur and 

 professional gardeners. 



"Tendersweet" is synonymous with carrot quality at its zenity. 

 "Tendersweet" also bids fair to become the favorite of the market 

 grower — for its hardiness and reliability as a cropper and ajso because 

 its beautiful rich color and attractive uniform appearance is bound to 

 command for it the highest market prices. . 



The top-growth is quite distinct from any other variety, being a 

 rich dark green with a distinct purplish tinge that becomes more pro- 

 nounced at the base of the stems. Tapering slightly from the shoulder 

 to a blunt end with practically no top-root, the perfectly formed 

 smooth roots average 8 to 10 inches in length. 



The flesh is of fine texture with very little core and exceptionally 

 sweet flavored. The color of the flesh is deep orange, the outer skin 

 showing a distinct tinge of red. It matures but a few days after the 

 early sorts.

Henderson's Sugar Corn 



Silver Bantam 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co.. 1927 



Has All the Good Qualities of Golden Bantam 



"It tastes of Honey and Cream," Declares an Enthusiast 



1 OQ As our friends all know, we are always striving to attain per- 

 fection in our products, and Henderson's Silver Bantam Sugar 

 Corn represents notable progress on the way to that place, where it is 

 always said there is plenty of room; at the "TOP." 



The flavor of the silvery- white grains "reminds one of honey and 

 cream," says one who has been privileged to feast upon it, and this 

 characteristic is undoubtedly its outstanding recommendation. We 

 may add that like its golden-hued twin it will be a great favorite with 

 all garden owners whether their gardens be large or small, because of its 

 delicious sugary flavor and milky kernals. 



The two varieties form an ideal combination, and should be planted 

 at the same time, when it will be found that Silver Bantam will ripen 

 just a few days later than its twin. 



Price, pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c; pt. $1.00; transportation paid.
