W. H. Henderson’s New 
“Crimson Giant” Chard 
A cross between the sweet sugar beet and Swiss chard. The leaves are as deeply crimped 
and pitted as a Savory cabbage. Nothing in the garden can be as easily raised, and no other vegetable 
produces such a large and continuous supply of delicious and healthful succulent food. 
Very beautiful and highly ornamental in the garden. Visitors to my gardens are enthusiastic 
in praise of its value as an ornamental plant. It is more delicous than the beet garden spin¬ 
ach. The leaves of this new "Crimson Giant” are of a rich dark green color, often 24 inches 
long and are crisp and tender. The leaf stalks are also very edible, and should be cooked with 
the leaves. The stalks are rich crimson in color, and average 2 feet in length. The plant reminds 
one of a well-grown rhubarb. The color is retained if cooked over a quick fire about twenty 
minutes, 50c per packet; $2.50 an ounce. 
NEW FRUITS 
Now Nectarine "California Gold” 
A hybrid between a Muir Peach and a white 
Nectarine. Possesses rich yellow flesh and a 
flavor unequalled by any other variety of stone 
fruit. Has firm flesh, but very juicy. Perfectly 
smooth skin that is crimson blushed yellow. I 
recommend it as a new fruit possessing unusual 
qualities. Not as tart as most nectarines, but 
much sweeter. Young trees one-year stock $1.50 
each. Stand shipping better than the ordinary 
nectarine due to the firmness of its flesh. 
New Plum "Redwine" 
An exceedingly large fruited variety possess¬ 
ing rich, firm flesh. Freestone. Skin does not 
crack. Splendid keeper. $2.50 each. One of the 
largest plums ever grown. 
New Apple X Pear Hybrid 
A very large fruited variety—half apple and 
half pear shaped like a large apple. Color green¬ 
ish yellow with small russet spots. Ripens in 
Sept, and Oct. Flesh pure white, very firm and 
exceedingly fine in texture. Unusually delicious. 
Fruit solid and heavy. Practically seedless and 
coreless? Trees $2.50 each. Grafting wood at 
$1.25 per ft. 
W. H. Henderson's 
New Rhubarb "Giant Hybrid” 
Largest stalks and leaves of any known vari¬ 
ety. Possesses a rich berry flavored and is a 
great improvement over older varieties. Sweet¬ 
est of all rhubarbs; requires but half the amount 
of sugar generally used in cooking other 
varieties. Stalks 1 Vz inch thick and 2-3 feet 
long. Divisions 50c each; 12 for $3.00. 
New Sweet Corn "Abundance” 
This new sweet corn was first offered to the 
public in 1930. Reports from various sections 
throughout the country are very enthusiastic in 
its praise. After selecting and inbreeding the 
familiar Golden Bantam sweet corn for many 
years, the variety "Abundance” was produced.* 
It is fully twice as productive as its parent, 
bearing 14-16 rows of kernels to each ear. The 
kernels are unusually large, and cobs are small. 
It is an early variety, and can be grown suc¬ 
cessfully where other varieties fail. 25c packet; 
75c per pound; 10 pound lots at 50c per 
pound. 
New Asparagus "Quality” 
All growers are unanimous in their praise for 
this tender deliciously flavored, productive as¬ 
paragus. By all means the finest variety ever 
offered to home gardeners. Pkt., 25c; ounce, 
75c. 
Burbank Tomato 
Fruit crimson red; medium size with thick 
solid meat. It is an unusually heavy and con¬ 
tinuous bearer. This tomato has one highly con¬ 
venient quality in that the skin peels freely from 
the rich firm flesh. The finest tomato in quali¬ 
ty. Pkts., 20c; 3 for 50c; $1.00 per ounce. 
Earliest of all tomatoes.
