Henderson's Long Season 



Introduced by Peter Henderson a- Co. in 1903 



May Be Grown Continuously in Any Home Garden 



Remain Edible Longer Than Any Other Variety. 



The Best for Sowing in Spring and Summer for 



a Successional Supply. 



R02 For man y y ears tne amateur gardener had 

 poor success in growing Spinach, owing to its 

 aggravating habit of going to seed just about the time 

 it should be ready for use. The development of a type 

 showing a marked long-standing character has given us 

 Henderson's Ixmg Season Spinach, removing the only- 

 obstacle to its general cultivation, so that there is now 

 nothing to hinder the least experienced from enjoying 

 this wholesome vegetable throughout the entire season. 

 The plants are very hardy. Seed sown in September 

 will produce small plants, which, with a slight covering 

 of loose dry material, will be available for use very early 

 in the spring. 



The plant is small, with rich, lustrous green leaves. 

 These are short, broad, very thick, and of so great sub- 

 stance that it loses bulk in cooking less than any other 

 sort, which so greatly reduces the diameter of the plant 

 that it may be grown more closely than other varieties, 

 and the whole plant forms a compact, dense rosette, 

 perfect in color and substance, and unequaled in flavor

New Long-Standing Savoy 



one We are delighted to be in a position to offer seeds of this new 

 variety to our friends this year. 

 Crops of New Long-Standing Savoy have a very low percentage of 

 male plants present compared with other varieties. The meaning of this 

 is, that the plants will not shoot up as quickly as other varieties, and ran 

 to seed, and therefore be unfit for use. This is a very great advantage 

 as the crops keep in perfect condition for a long time. Price, pkt 10c ; 

 oz. 25c.: K ll>- 65c: lb. $1.50; transportation paid. 



Thick-Leaved 



Q1A The best sort for fall sowing to winter over for spring cutting, 

 being very hardy. It produces large, thick, bright green crumpled 

 leaves of fine quality, yielding a heavy crop, and is one of the best market 

 sorts. It is also much used for spring sowing, being slow to run to seed 

 and standing the heat well until about the middle of June. {See illustra- 

 tion.) Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; H lb. 25c; lb. 60c; transportation naid.

Large, Crumpled Dark Green Leaves, Suitable for 



Summer or Autumn Planting 



OAQ The Princess Juliana Spinach is of the long season type, 

 with large, crumpled, rich, dark green leaves. It is valuable 

 either for spring or autumn planting. After testing this new variety 

 at our trial grounds for several years, we are convinced that the 

 Princess Juliana Spinach will become the most popular variety on 

 the market, not only for its rapid, uniform growth and delicious 

 and tempting flavor, but also because it remains in prime condition 

 longer before bolting to seed than any other sort Price, pkt 10c;

 the coming winter and early next spring. For this purpose sow Vic- 

 toria. The soil should be well prepared, using soot and lime or other 

 material to lighten the soil if heavy. Price, pkt. 10c ; oz 15c. ;
