Henderson’s Rocket Radishes 
A dish composed of these three Rockets presents a most attractive 
appearance when prepared for the table, and we advise everyone to 
grow some of each. In addition to their bright appearance, they are 
among the earliest varieties grown, and they mature at exactly the 
same time. For these reasons they are used very extensively for 
forcing, when they may be had in 21 days from sowing. They do 
equally well outdoors, but, in common with all Radishes, must be 
grown under conditions that induce rapid growth, for only then will 
they acquire proper flavor and crispness. They must be pulled just 
as soon as ready. 
The Collection of 3 Rocket Radishes, 1 pkt. each for 25c.; 1 oz. each 
for 50c.; 34 #>• cac/t for SI .90.

Henderson^ i /wg Season Spinacl: 
Spinach sown in the 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 anyone from enjoj'ing this 
delicious vegetable during the entire season. 
This peculiar quality makes it ideal for a sum¬ 
mer 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, which are short, broad, very 
thick, and of so great substance that 
they lose less bulk in cooking than any 
other. The leaf stems are very short, 
which so greatly reduces the size of the 
plant that it forms a compact, dehse 
rosette, perfect in color and substance, 
and unequalled in flavor. It occupies 
less room than any other sort. (See en¬ 
graving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. 
34 lb., $2.50 lb. 
LEAVED OR Dutch Spinach 
One of the oldest and best-known sorts 
for the early spring crop. It may be 
sown at intervals during April, from 
which very satisfactory crops may be had 
quite early in the season. It succeeds 
equally well as a fall crop, for which pur¬ 
pose it is sown during the first two weeks 
in August. The plants are very compact, 
the leaves thick and very tender. Price, 
5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb. 
WHITE-TIPPED ROCKET RADISH. This is the ideal first early 
Radish. The color is deep rose, tipped white at the base. The 
flavor is deliciously mild. ( See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. 
oz., 70c. J4 lb., $2.50 lb. 
WHITE ROCKET RADISH. A trifle larger than Red Rocket. It 
has an equally small top; the root is pure white, while the color of 
the flesh is clear waxy-white. (*See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 
20c. oz., 70c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb. 
RED ROCKET RADISH. This variety has a very small top, which 
permits close planting. It is quite smooth, deep scarlet in color. 
The flesh is crisp and of mild flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb.
