HENDERSON'S 
LONG SEASON SPINACH 
Spinach sown in late spring and summer has a most aggravating 
habit of going to seed just when it should be ready for use. 
Henderson’s Long Season grows more slowly than others, 
but after attaining its growth will stay in that condition 
for a much longer time, so that with this variety there is 
nothing to hinder any one from enjoying this delicious 
vegetable during the entire season. 
This peculiar quality makes it ideal for a summer 
crop, a season in which most varieties suffer 
severely, but it is also extremely hardy. 
Sown in September and carried through 
the winter with slight protection, it 
will give a good supply early in 
spring. . „ 
The plant is small, with 
lustrous green leaves. 
These are short, broad, 
very thick, and of so 
great substance, that 
it loses bulk in cook¬ 
ing less than any other 
sort. The leaf stems 
are very short, which 
so greatly reduces the 
size of the plant, that 
it forms a compact, 
dense rosette, perfect 
in color and substance, 
and unequalled in fla¬ 
vor. It occupies less 
room than any other 
sort. ( See cut.) Price,

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 
White Bush Squash 
The white scalloped ‘‘Patty Pan” or “Cymling” 
has for years been a favorite summer Squash, on 
account of its earliness, etc. This sort is just as 
early, more prolific, and the fruits are much deeper, 
and have less prominent scallops, consequently are 
easier prepared, contain less waste and almost twice 
the amount of flesh. The plants are of the true 
bush habit. (See cut). Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
35c. ii lb., $1.00 lb. 
MAMMOTH BUSH SUMMER 
Crookneck Squash 
A highly improved type of the popular Yellow 
Summer Crookneck. The plant grows in true bush form 
and bears just as fc many fruits as the older variety, but of 
much greater size. It is very heavily warted; the skin is rich 
orange, and the flesh solid, deep and of superior quality. ( See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. 34 lb*, $1*10 lb.
