HENDERSON’S TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Seiecrep FOR SUMMER «art SOWING 
We issue this our Summer Catalogue chiefly because we want to impress upon all our 
friends THE IMPORTANCE OF SOWING VEGETABLE SEEDS IN JUNE, JULY AND 
AUGUST. It has been noted by a keen observer who travels much in New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut that some of the best vegetable 
gardens are planted after the first of June. Fi 
Many varieties of vegetables yield larger crops from summer sown seed, than from spring 
sown seed, because the weather prevailing at the time the young plants attain any size is 
exactly suited to their requirements, and they are able to grow and complete their develop- 
ment without check. Keep on sowing rows of Beets until August, as they are always welcome 
on the table, and store well for winter. 
Plant Bush Beans now and at other times up to August 15th and you will reap additional 
harvests of sweet, tender pods. Sow Sweet Corn every two weeks until July 15th. The 
early part of June is the time to sow Cabbage seeds for plants to set out for winter crop. 
Now is the best time in all the year to sow seeds of root crops, such as Carrot, Beet, and 
Turnip. Carrot and Turnip in July. The young plants attain their true leaves when the 
weather is favorable to them, and grow right on without a check, consequently they are 
tender and palatable. 
All the vegetable seeds listed are delivered transportation paid in the U. S. and Possessions.
