HENDERSON'S 



Long Season Spinach 



CPINACH is most extensively sown during the 

 *^ fall and spring months, for the reason that the 

 plants quickly run to seed in hot weather. With 

 our new Long Season variety, Spinach may now be 

 grown continuoush' in any home garden, so that this 

 most healthful of "boiling greens" may be enjoyed 

 not only during cool weather months, but in the 

 summer as well. It forms a dense rosette of crum- 

 pled, thick, tender and succulent leaves of intensely 

 dark shade of green ; their great substance and short 

 leaf stalks enable them to stand up" in hot weather, 

 retaining their freshness for a long period after 

 cutting. There is no other variety that will stand 

 so long without running to seed and remain in an 

 edible condition. It is the best variety to be sown 

 in the spring, and at monthly intervals for a suc- 

 cessional sunimer supply. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz., 20c. }i lb., 50c. lb. 



Round Leaved or Dutch Spinach 



A standard and popular variety producing large, 

 broad, crumpled leaves of a light green shade and 

 very succulent. It is very hardy and will stand severe 

 frost. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., ISc. 34 lb., 35c. lb. 



SWISS CHAKD, 



OR SPINACH BEET 



"T~HIS type of Beet is grown for its large, 

 * succulent, tender leaves and stems. The 

 thick, fleshy leaf stalks are cooked and served 

 like Asparagus, and are most delicious. The 

 young leaves boiled like Spinach, are much 

 esteemed as a fresh vegetable or "greens" for 

 summer and autumn use. The plants grow 

 rapidly and successional pickings may be made 

 during the season if the central bud and leaves 

 are allowed to remain for additional growth. 

 The plants are quite hardy and will stand con- 

 siderable frost. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 1 5c. 

 oz.. 40c. U lb., $1.25 lb. 



Mammoth Bush 



Summer 



Crookneck Squash 



MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 



SALSIFY 



OR OYSTER PLANT 



(^NE of the most delicious and nutritious 

 ^^ of winter vegetables with a decided 

 oyster flavor. It is served boiled, with 

 butter or other sauce, sliced and fried, used 

 in soup, also eaten raw as a salad. 



This variety, where known, is entirely 

 superseding the old type, as it produces 

 roots nearly double the size and weight and 

 of equally good quality. Seed sown in 

 spring produces large, fine roots that may 

 remain in the ground all winter or may be 

 dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem- 

 ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, 

 to be used as desired during the winter.

Long Island 

 White Bush Squash 



"T^HE white scalloped "Patty Pan" or "Cym- 

 * ling" has for years been a favorite suinmer 

 Squash, on account of its earliness, etc., but this new sort 

 is a vast improvement ; it is nearly as early, more prolific 

 and the Squashes are much deeper, and have less prom- 

 inent scallops, consequently are easier prepared, contain 

 less waste and almost twice the amount of flesh, which is also of finer qualitv. The plants 

 are of the true bush habit. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. H lb.', $1.00 lb.
