 ^^NOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 1 



WAKEFIELD 



Uhe Best Large Early Cabbage 



Several years ago, our cus- 

 tomers requested us to procure for 

 them, if possible, a Cabbage 

 which had all the characteristics 

 of the Early Jersey Wakefield, 

 but of greater size. With this 

 in view, we carefully selected from 

 one of our best stocks of Wake- 

 field a larger type, which is so 

 fixed in its character that it is now 

 largely grown by those desiring 

 a Cabbage of this kind. This 

 selection will average about 50 

 per cent larger in size than the 

 old type of Wakefield, and is only 

 a few davs later. Price, 55c. oz., 

 $1.75 >i'lb., $6.00 lb. 



HENDEKSON'S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 



Planters in Every Clime Grow Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower 

 And receive topmost prices for the product. 



Xo seed crop is grown with greater care than Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower. The result 

 has been just as satisfactory to us as to our customers, as during our entire experience, it has 

 never failed to come up to its high standard nor have we ever received a well founded complaint 

 regarding the quality of the stock. On the contrary, we are continually receiving letters testifying 

 to its general excellence. 



The constant and ever increasing demand for our own genuine stock, coming from the largest 

 and most successful growers clearlv demonstrates its superiority over all others. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 25c. pkt., $3.25 oz., $12.00 M lb., $45.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S BIG BOSTON LETTUCE 



A Grand Large Cabbage Lettuce — For either Early Summer or Fall Use 



This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, has proved to be most 



valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is now more extensively grown than any other kind 



of lettuce, either for the private table or for sale, North, South, East or West; whether grown in 



the open ground for summer and fall use, or in frames for spring, or forced cool in greenhouse for 



winter use, it invariably gives both 

 grower and user the utmost satisfaction, 

 producing during all seasons, under ordi- 

 narily favorable conditions, splendid, 

 large, buttery-yellow heads, packed with 

 thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender 

 and sweet, delighting both the palate 

 and the eye. This grand variety makes a 

 handsome plant, with but few outside 

 leaves, and stands long before bolting to 

 seed. Although Big Boston is one of our 

 best large-heading midsummer lettuces, 

 it is also peculiarly adapted for late Fall 

 culture; large areas of it may be seen in 

 the vicinity of New York as late as 

 Nov. L5th; a slight covering of salt 

 marsh hay amply protects the plants 

 from hard frosts, and when cut for mar- 

 et the leaves are as fresh, bright and 

 untinged as in midsummer. Thousands 

 of acres of it are grown during the winter 

 in Florida and other Southern States 

 for shipping to Northern markets. 

 As far north as Maine it is a wonder- 

 fully popular summer lettuce. {See en- 

 gravino.) 



Price, 

 10 lbs. 



20c. oz., 55c. I4 lb., $1.60 lb. 

 and upwards, $1.50 lb.

contrary notwithstanding, and unless the seed is bou(^ht directly from M$ yoU do aot i^et the genuine,
