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



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAINS OF 



RADISHES. 



EARLY CRIMSON GIANT. A very profitable sort for open 

 .ground, larger than any in its season. The skin is crimson, the 

 iiesh white and quite untinged with red. It matures more quickly 

 than any of its size- and it frequently remains firm for a 

 ■week after full growth. Price, 10c. oz., 25c. j lb., 70c. lb. 



WHITE-TIPPED EARLY SCARLET TURNIP. A 

 medium sized round variety, with-bright scarlet skin and 

 medium tops, used in enormous quantities in open ground. 

 It matures very evenly and is 'one of the. readiest sellers. 

 Price, 10c. oz., 15c. fib., 40c. lb. (25 lbs. and over at 35c. lb.) 



FRENCH BREAKFAST. The best of the half-long tap- 

 rooted sorts. The length is about . twice the diameter. 

 The lower part of the root is white which gradually merges 

 into bright scarlet. It is an excellent variety in every 

 respect. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. J lb., 50c. lb. 



Our stocks of Radish will be found very true to name 

 and carefully bred to symmetry and regularity of shape, 

 small tops and superior color. This is vitally important 

 to the grower, especially if the crop is to be produced 



under glass, where the slightest defect in quality means serious 



loss in less ready sales and lower prices. 



RAPID FORCING. This is perfectly bred for forcing. The 

 root is small, uniformly round with short erect leaves. It grows 

 rapidly, and may be pulled in 21 days. The lower part of the root 

 is white, the upper part bright scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 10c. oz., 

 20c. 1 lb., 60c. lb. 



RED FORCING. An ideal round red variety with very small 

 tops. Properly grown, it will mature in 3 weeks. The color is 

 vivid red. Price, 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 60c. lb. 



EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. The best of the forcing varieties. 

 The roots are a little longer than round, the skin intense scarlet in 

 color, with tiny thread like roots. We exercise unusual care to 

 procure only perfect stocks of this variety and we believe no better 

 can be had. Price, 10c. oz., 15c. j lb., 45c. lb. (25 lbs. and over at 

 40c. lb.) 



EARLY ROUND DARK RED. The most popular of the round 

 sorts for outdoor sowing. It is very dark in color — the flesh white 

 and crisp. The tops are small for a root of its size. Our stock 

 is very uniform in color, shape and season. Price, 10c. oz., 

 20c. \ lb., 50c."lb.

Salsify

 sections for a sumrrier crop. The leaves are broad, hug the ground closely,

 duces a big crop. {See cut.) Price, 5c. oz., 10c. \ lb., 18c. lb., $16.00

SAVOY-LEAVED SPINACH. Sown very early will produce a good 

 spring crop, but succeeds best in the fall. A very fine dark colored stock, 

 with thick crumpled leaves of great substance, which hold up well in 

 shipping. Our stock is free from "slick leaved" plants. Price, 5c. oz.,
