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



SPAKK'S EARLIANA TOMATO 



A wonderfully early and exceedingly prolific medium-sized, uniform, smooth and 

 attractively shaped, bright scarlet tomato, of great solidity and fine flavor. It is 

 one of the earliest tomatoes grown, having been evolved through keen competition 

 in a tomato-growing section in Southern New Jersey, where earliness and quality 

 secure profitable returns. The plant is of neat, moderate growth, but quite 

 hardy and well set with clusters of from 5 to 8 fruits, averaging 2| inches through, 

 nearly all ripening up remarkably early and evenly; of great value to the market 

 gardener where early tomatoes are an obiect. (See cut.) Price, 30c. oz., 90c. 

 *lb., $2.75 lb. 



JUNE PINK TOMATO 



This variety has rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It is a selection 

 from Spark's Earliana, but it has a distinct advantage in color, being of the bright 

 purplish pink known as the " Acme Color." This insures its more ready sale on 

 some markets where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop of 

 marketable sized fruits as early in the season as the earliest varieties. Its shipping 

 qualities are admirable. The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center 

 of the plant exposed, so that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly exposed to the 

 sun, which facilitates the early ripening. The fruits are generally smooth. The 

 flesh is remarkably solid, and of a most agreeable flavor, so whether used for 

 shipping or for local markets, it will certainly meet with favor. Price, 30c. oz. 

 $1.00 ilb., $3.00 lb. 



STONE TOMATO 



Large, Regularly Shaped Fruit Flesh Firm. Skin Scarlet and Good Shipper. 



This is one of the best and most popular main crop varieties for market gardeners. 

 The plant is a strong grower, is very prolific, and possesses every requisite for a 

 salable tomato; the fruits are large, smooth, almost round, being very deep, slightly 

 flattened at the base and top; the color is an attractive, vivid scarlet. The skin is 

 tough and the flesh unusually solid and firm making it one of the best shippers. 

 The qualitv is unsurpassed for either cooking, canning or slicing, being meaty 

 and firm. Price, 20c. oz., 60c. { lb., $2.00 lb. 



"Your Tomato (Stone) is all you claim for it and more. It is large, very prolific and has all the good 

 /lualities of a first class Tomato. It riptns evenly from top to stem."

LIVINGSTON'S GLOBE TOMATO 



A large globe-shaped, early fruited purplish variety, exceedingly productive. It 

 is largely grown in some sections, particularly in the Southern States where it can 

 be picked before thoroughly ripe and shipped to Northern markets. Price 



NOKFOLK 

 SAVOY^LEAVED SPINACH. 



A very popular variety to sow for the late 

 fall cutting. It is quick growing and a heavy 

 cropper, producing large, fleshy, dark green 

 leaves as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage. 

 It is largely grown in the South for winter and 

 early spring crops. If sown in the spring it must 

 be cut as soon as ready, as it quickly runs to 

 seed. Price, 6c. oz., 10c. | lb., 16c. lb., $15.00 

 per 100 lbs., 26 lbs. or over sold at 100 lb. rate. 



HENDERSON'S 

 LONG SEASON SPINACH 



Spinach quickly runs to seed in hot weather. 

 With this variety, it may now be continuously 

 grown. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender, 

 crumpled leaves of intensely dark green color; 

 their great substance and short leaf stalks enable 

 them to " stand up " in hot weather. There is 

 no other variety that will stand so long without 

 running to seed and remain in an edible condi- 

 tion. (See cut.) Price 5c. oz., 10c. I lb., 20c. lb., 

 $18.00 per 100 lbs., 25 lbs or over sold at 100 lb. 

 rate.
