PRICES 



BEANS. CLIMBING OR POLE.— Continued. 



Early Golden Cluster. Begins bearing in July, continuing to produce abundantly 

 until frost large clusters of golden-yellow pods 5 to 6 inches long and of delicious 

 flavor. Valuable either as a shell or snap 



Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry. An old and popular variety, useful either 

 as a green-podded snap Bean or when shelled 



BEET. 



Crimson Globe. Intensely dark red, fine shape, tender and of excellent quality 



Crosby's Egyptian. A leading variety of good color and of fine quality 



Detroit Dark Red. {See specialties page 3) 



Early Model. Root and tops dark red, fine quality 



Early Wonder. A well selected strain. The same season as Crosby's Egyptian. (See 

 specialties page 3) 



Early Blood Turnip. A standard variety, following Eclipse in season; quality excel- 

 lent; color, deep blood-red; the tops make excellent "greens" 



Eclipse. One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young it may 

 be bunched, but it is also used as a basket beet, and is known and sells freely on 

 every market. It is medium in size, the tops small for size of root, the outer color 

 is dark and the flesh blood red. (See specialties page 3 ) 



Edmand's. A handsome, uniform, turnip-shaped Beet, smooth and of good size; 

 tops small, flesh red ; fine for late crop 



Egyptian. (Extra Early.) A quick maturing, early variety, very dark colored; should 

 be used when young. (See specialties page 3) 



Electric. We recommend the use of Electric for earliest crops. It is not only early, 

 but superior in every respect. Large areas are sown in frames very early in spring 

 and the frames removed to mature the crop. It makes a perfect buncher and the 

 quality is excellent. fSee engraving) 



Henderson's Special Crosby's Egyptian. (See specialties page 3) 



Henderson's Half Long. Of Superior quality, tender, sweet and free from woody 

 fibre; flesh vivid red t 



Long Smooth Blood-Red. An excellent late variety, a great improvement on ordinary 

 stocks, and of intense dark red color 



Nutting's Gem 



SWISS CHARD. 



Grown exclusively for the foliage, which makes most delicious greens; or the midrib may 

 be cooked and served like Asparagus 



Henderson's New Spinach-Leaved Swiss Chard Green Plume. We have called it 

 "Spinach-Leaved" because the leaf is almost identical with that of the Spinach plant, 

 and is so dark a green in color. The midribs, too. are edible, tender, and very white 

 and attractive looking. They should be prepared like Asparagus 



Lucullus. Swiss Chard. This is quite distinct from the old well known variety. The 

 leaf stems are rounder, very thick and fleshy 



BROCCOLI. White Cape. Medium-sized, creamy-white heads, similar but inferior 

 to Cauliflower, though hardier 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Dalkeith. A greatly improved variety of compact growth, bearing very large sprouts 

 Long Island Grown Specially Selected Dwarf. (See engraving.) 



Quart 



CARDOON. Large Spanish. Large, fleshy-leaved plants, chiefly used as a winter vege- 

 table. The blanched stalks and broad ribs of the inner leaves, when properly cooked 

 are tender and of an agreeable flavor 



CABBAGE. 



EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES. 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson's. (See specialties page 4) 



Charleston or Large Wakefield, Henderson's. The value of this variety is second 

 only to the original Early Jersey Wakefield, from which we selected it many years 

 ago, in response to a request for a Cabbage of the same character, but of greater size. 

 It is the very best stock of pointed head Cabbage grown to-day in every respect 

 except that it is not quite so early as tne original stock. (See specialties page 4.) . . . , 



Copenhagen Market. (See specialties page 4.) 



Early Market. It comes in only 3 or 4 days later than Henderson's Early Wakefield. 



Early Spring, Henderson's. Many markets require a flat Cabbage at all seasons 

 Early Spring has met this demand, and produces such excellent heads, so early in the 

 season, that it is relied upon by growers for their first crop 



Golden Acre. A money maker for the market gardener. (See specialties page 4.) .... 

 SECOND EARLY or SUMMER VARIETIES. 



All Head Early. Heads are of medium size. Similar to Early Summer 



All Seasons 



Early Summer, Henderson's. By continued careful selection we have made this 

 famous old variety better than ever. Every undesirable feature has been bred out of 

 it, and it is grown today more largely than ever. It is fit for use right after the very 

 early sorts, and fills the gap between those and Succession perfectly. The heads are of 

 medium size, flat, round, very solid, trim up neat and look well on the load. 

 (See engraving) (See specialties page 4) 



Succession, Henderson's. (See specialties page 5) 



LATE OR WINTER VARIETIES. 



Autumn King, Henderson's. This is one of the finest late varieties grown. The head 

 is of great size and differs from other large sorts in shape, being almost round. Its 

 keeping quality is remarkable, coming out of the pit in spring as clean and bright 

 as when put away in the fall 



Late Flat Dutch, Henderson's Selected. A very fine stock of this well-known variety, 

 forms large solid heads and winters well 



Premium Flat Dutch. A standard excellent variety; developing earlier than most late 

 sorts 



Danish Ball-Head or Holland. When this type of Cabbage first appeared we foresaw 

 its popularity, and after exhaustive trials decided to grow from one strain only. 

 The success that has come to all who have grown it. proves the wisdom of our 

 selection. The plant is strong, erect, stands well and heads up evenly. The 

 trimmed head is almost round, and has more weight for its size than any 

 other sort . (See specialties page 5)
