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



33 



IMPORTANT NOTICE. — -The prices herein quoted on vegetable seeds are based on customers paying delivery charges when sent either by express or freight, but 

 here is a plan whereby it rests with you whether WE pay the freight or YOU. If you send the order to us direct WE WILL on purchases of vegetable seeds from this list 

 to the value of $10.00 and upwards. DELIVER FREE by freight or express, at our option, to any railroad station in the United States, PROVIDED, that at least 

 half of the order is composed of small seeds — that is, any vegetable seeds in the list other than Peas, Beans, Corn, Onion Sets and Potatoes. If your own order 

 does not amount to $10.00, you can perhaps avail yourself of this offer by combining your order with one or more of your neighbors. 



WHEN SEEDS ARE DESIRED BY MAIL, Postage must be added at the rate of 8c. per lb. On Peas, Beans and Corn, 10c. per quart. Packets, ounces and 

 quarter pounds are mailed free. Half pounds will be supplied at pound rates; half pecks at peck rates; half bushels at bushel rates. We allow 25% off retail packet 

 prices, but prices of all other quantities are net. 



REGARDING THE U. S. PARCEL POST. 



Will state the U. S. Parcel Post does not alter the rate of postage paid heretofore on seeds, plants, bulbs and roots which is lc for each two ounces — 

 although the weight of mailable parcels may now be eleven pounds.

Keeney's Stringless Refugee. This Bean in season, height of plant, and general 

 appearance has all the desirable qualities of the old Refugee or 1000 to 1 

 Bean with the additional one of being absolutely stringless at all stages of 

 growth, this latter fact should in itself place it in the foremost rank of Green 

 Pod Beans for general crop it is very prolific. The pods which are broad, 

 almost round and fully 5 in. long, are of a light green color, fleshy, and very 

 tender, there should be a great future for this Bean for Market Gardeners 

 and Truckers 



Full Measure, Henderson's. A new, round, green-podded bush bean, a cross 

 between the old Refugee and Yosemite Wax. The pods are five inches long, 

 stringless, quite round, have no neck and are of extremely good quality. 

 It is far superior to any of its class 



Green Pod, Hodson. This new variety is practically identical with the 

 Hodson Long Pod Wax described on page 4 — with the exception of the color 

 of the pods which are green instead of yellow. It has the same vigor, length 

 of pod, productiveness and other qualities which have already made the 

 Hodson Wax famous 



Horticultural Dwarf. A bush variety of the popular Climbing Horticultural.
