VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES - ^ 
HENDERSON'S 
LONG SEASON 
SPINACH 
CPINACH is most extensively grown during 
^ the winter and spring months, for the reason 
that the plants quickly run to seed in hot 
weather. With our new Long Season variety, 
Spinach may now be continuously grown in 
any home garden, so that this most delicious 
of “boiling greens” may be enjoyed not only 
during cool weather months, but in the sum¬ 
mer as well. It forms a dense rosette of thick, 
tender and succulent, crumpled leaves of in¬ 
tensely dark green color; their great substance 
and short, leaf stalks enable them to “stand 
up” in hot weather, retaining their freshness 
for a long period after cutting. There is no 
other variety that will stand so long without 
running to seed and remain in an edible condi¬ 
tion. It is the best variety to be sown in 
the spring, and at monthly intervals for a 
successional summer supply. {See cut.) Price, 
5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. lb., 50c. lb.

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND 
SALSIFY or Oyster Plant 
of the most delicious of winter vegetables, 
and also one of the most nutritious; the flavor 
is sweet and highly esteemed whether served 
boiled with butter or other suitable sauce, or 
sliced and fried, or used in soup. 
This variety, where known, is entirely super¬ 
seding the old type, as it produces roots nearly 
double the size and weight and of equally good 
quality. Seed sown in spring produces large, 
fine roots that may remain in the ground all win¬ 
ter or may be dug and stored in sand or earth in 
November, thus keeping them plump and sweet, 
to be used as desired during the winter. {See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. J4 lb*, $1-75 lb. 
HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 
White Bush Squash 
I l HE white scalloped “Patty Pan” or “Cym- 
1 ling” has for years been a favorite summer 
Squash, on account of its earliness, etc., but this 
is a vast improvement; it is nearly as early, more 
prolific and the Squashes are much deeper, and 
have less prominent scallops, consequently are 
easier prepared, contain less waste and almost 
twice the amount of flesh, which is also of finer 
quality. The plants are of the true bush habit. 
{See cut on next page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
35c. 34 lb., $1.10 lb.

SWISS CHARD, 
OR SPINACH BEET 
I HIS type of beet is grown for its large, succu- 
1 lent tender leaves and stems. The thick, 
fleshy leaf stalks are cooked and served like 
asparagus, and are most delicious. The young 
leaves are boiled like Spinach, are much esteemed 
as a fresh vegetable or “greens” for summer and 
autumn use. {See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
40c. J4 lb., $1.25c. lb.
