PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



TURNIPS. 



BEST VARIETIES FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



EARLY WHITE MILAN TURNIP. 



This is the best variety for a very early Spring crop. It is 

 used largely at that season for bunching. It grows rapidly; is 

 flat round in shape, with very small leaves, and slender stems. 

 Both skin and flesh are pure white. Price, 15c. oz., 50c. J lb., 

 $1.75 lb. 



PURPLE^TOP WHITE GLOBE TURNIP. 



A valuable variety for the trucker. The roots are almost 

 round, purple at the crown, white at the base. The flesh is 

 white, solid, and is a good keeper. {See engraving.) Price, 10c. 

 oz., 20c. | lb., 60c. lb. 



EARLY RED^TOP STRAP^LEAF TURNIP. 



This is the true strap-leaved flat-rooted sort, and a very fine 

 stock. It is even in size, regular in shape, and the color strongly 

 marked. The upper side of the root is purple; the lower, white. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 20c. | lb., 50c. lb. 



SNOWBALL TURNIP. 



The best quick-growing white round variety. The root is 

 medium in size; quite smooth and very mild in flavor. Price, 

 10c. oz., 30c. I lb., 90c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S IMPROVED 



LONG ISLAND RUTA BAGA. 



The very best type of purple top Ruta Baga grown. It is the 

 only one of its class which is practically without neck. This 

 makes the root clean and shapely, and it also grows very smooth. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 25c. 1 lb., 65c. lb. 



TOMATOES. 



SELECT STRAINS FOR THE MARKET. 



JUNE PINK TOMATO. 



A selection from Earliana, but has the purple color of Beauty, 

 which is preferred in some markets. It is very early, and crops 

 heavily at the start, making it a very profitable sort. The 

 fruits are smooth, solid, and it is an excellent shipper. Price. 

 30c. oz., $1.00 \ lb., $3.00 lb. 



BEAUTY TOMATO. 



One of the best known sorts and always in great demand, 

 it is medium early and a heavy cropper. The fruits are of good 

 market size, purple in color, solid, and of fine quality. It is a 

 perfect shipper and very largely used both for local and distant 

 markets. Our stock is smooth, and has the true, deep shape. 

 Price, 25c. oz., 70c. \ lb., $2.25 lb. 



SPAPXS EAKLIANA TOMATO. 



One of the very best sorts for the first crop. It has remarkably 

 good quality and though so early is one of the most solid. It is 

 scarlet in color, has a tough skin, and is a fine shipper. Our 

 stock is well selected. Price, 26c. oz., 80c. \ lb., $2.75 lb. 



GLOBE TOMATO. 



A very excellent variety for the market. It should be picked 

 a little greener than ordinary sorts, to ensure good condition 

 when shipped. The fruits are a little longer than round and very 

 smooth. It ripens evenly all over, is very solid, and one of the 

 best looking varieties grown. Price, 30c. oz., $1.00 \ lb., $3.50 lb. 



STONE TOMATO. 



The plant is very robust, and ripens a remarkably large crop 

 The fruits are slightly flattened but very solid, and of 

 particularly good color. It stands shipping better than most 

 sorts, and is the best of all scarlet varieties for main crop and gen- 

 eral use. (See engraving.) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. \ lb., $2.00 lb.
