HENDERSON’S IMPROVED 
New York Spineless 
Egg Plant 
Our superior stock of this popular variety 
produces a large crop of shapely, purple 
fruits of liberal size and perfect quality. 
The plant is of low growth with a vigorous 
branching habit, strong enough to support 
its massive fruits and compact enough to 
economize space. It is very prolific, the 
plants usually bearing 8 to 10 immense 
fruits of super!) quality before being killed 
by frost. Such fruits as arc large enough 
may be picked and stored in a warm, dry 
place at the approach of frosty nights, 
and they will keep in good condition 
for some time. ( See engraving.) Price, 
10c. pkt., 85c. oz., $3.00 A lb. 
“My father , Mr. W. W. Dickerson, used 
your seeds for over 30 years. We are espec¬ 
ially Proud of our success with Henderson's 
New York Spineless Egg Plants, which we 
grow to an average weight of 3 A lbs.” 
MRS. R. A. BLACK, 
Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, O. 
“It may interest you to know the largest Egg 
Plant I harvested within my one acre Egg 
Plant patch last season was 5 lbs. 1 oz. It was 
your improved New York Spineless.” 
Mr. H. M. IIA RAD A, 
IIackettstoWn , N. J . 
“We obtained a good crop of Egg Plants from your New York Spineless. Egg 
Plant seed. It was the best around here.”

Green Curled Endive 
\ THE “CHICORSe fris£e” of the french 
An excellent'salad plant, available long after the 
season for Lettuce, and more easily grown. The 
flavor is pleasantly bitter, stimulating and zest¬ 
giving. Is used also boiled as greens. . 
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is 
easily blanched by covering the full-grown plants 
■with boards or pieces of slate. After severe frost 
the plants may be removed and planted closely in 
a cellar for winter use. The seed should be sown in 
rows about 2 feet apart and M inch deep in the drill. 
When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 8 
inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while grow¬ 
ing. A very early crop may be grown by starting 
the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. 
Good results come from early spring sowing, and 
[even better, when treated as a fall crop. Succes- 
sional sowings during July give a continuous supply 
1 after cool weather, and with a slight covering the 
plants may be kept in good condition well into No- 
pvember. (See engraving f) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 
75c. A lb., $2.50 lb. 
Black Beauty Egg Plant 
An early variety. A handsome, large variety of great merit; a prolific 
producer of uniformly large, purple-black fruits of fine quality, develop¬ 
ing with great rapidity and ready about two weeks earlier than other 
large sorts. Price, 15c. pkt., 90c. oz., $3.25 A lb* 
“I never grew better Egg Plants than I had this summer. Henderson's New 
York Spineless and also Black Beauty are fine.” 
DUBOIS BRINCKER HOFF, Beacon, N. Y. 
“I pulled a Black Beauty Egg Plant yesterday that weighed 56 ounces. I raised 
it from seed purchased from you." JAS. JENKINS, Elizabethtown, Tcnn.

plants. How to force Witloof, Chicory, Endive, etc., for winter salads. It is
