 such high quality as Henderson's Tested Seeds— depends largely on weather con-

Why Not Increase the Variety of the Vegetables You Grow 



The "Quality" Vegetables of America Have Been Grown From Henderson's Tested Seeds "Since 1847' 



Everyone who is charged with the responsibility of providing food 

 tor others, whether it be a housewife, boarding-house keeper or 

 hotel manager, should know all about vegetables and try new things 

 every year. Vegetable foods are pleasant and abundant sources of 

 the mineral salts necessary to the human svstem, and also of the all- 

 important vitamins. Without these, the bodv will experience a lack 

 ol vitality. With that in mind, we recommend our friends to grow 

 a greater number of vegetables than thev have done hitherto, and 

 if they study the pages of this catalogue they will find listed there 

 many varieties of recent introduction that they have not yet tried. 



We recommend such vegetables as Broccoli, Sprouts, Celeriac 

 kohl Rabi, Corn Salad. Dandelion, Swiss Chard, and new kinds of 

 Squash, in addition to the ordinary run of vegetables. 



We also draw the attention of our friends to the list of Italian 

 Vegetables described on page 70. The Italian people have been 

 accustomed to a vegetable diet for centuries, and to this, no doubt, 

 may be attributed the sturdiness and endurance so characteristic of 

 the. people of Italy. 



Also to the Chinese Vegetables illustrated and described on page 



69. Two new varieties of the Chinese Cabbage have recently been 

 brought into cultivation in America, and we have great pleasure in 

 introducing them. 



If our friends will follow this advice and increase the number of the 

 vegetables they grow, they will find it possible to put a much more 

 tasty and desirable vegetable dinner on their tables; and dispel the 

 idea fostered no doubt by partaking of vegetable dinners in restau- 

 rants, that such meals are bound to be tasteless. 



Eat Young and Tender Vegetables 



Another point worth keeping in mind is that all vegetables are 

 much more palatable and tasty if cooked and eaten when small. Of 

 course, all vegetables should be grown rapidly, if they are to have a 

 fine appearance; and to be succulent, crisp and tender, the soil 

 must be properly fertilized and moisture supplied. Leafy vege- 

 tables that have been grown rapidly will have crinkly or waved 

 leaves, with rather inconspicuous ribs or veins. Root crops grown in 

 the same way will have small tap-roots or tails, very few hairy side- 

 roots, and will be firm, heavy, and smooth.
