EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN-Vegetable Seeds 
Henderson ’* 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 cooking 
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 
flavor. It occupies less room than any 
other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 5c.

Sandwich Island u/\LulI 1 Oyster Plant 
Salsify is one of the best of our root vege¬ 
tables, and is rapidly increasing in popularity. 
It is grown in the same way as the Parsnip, and 
if grown in well prepared soil, will produce 
large, smooth roots. Failing this, they are 
liable to fork. 
Cooked in any form, Salsify is wholesome, 
appetizing and nutritious. Its peculiar oyster¬ 
like flavor is most apparent when sliced and 
fried, and it may also be served and eaten as 
Asparagus. It is one of the best remedies in 
various forms of indigestion. Most of its 
medicinal value is contained in the milk which 
exudes from the skin; the surface 
should therefore be broken as little 
as possible. This is best avoided by 
boiling whole, and peeling after 
cooking. (Seeengraving.)

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 purpose it is sown during the first two 
weeks in August. The plants are very compact, the 
leaves thick and very tender.

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., but this new sort is a 
vast improvement ; it is just as early, more prolific, 
and the Squashes are much deeper, and have less 
prominent scallops, consequently are easier pre¬ 
pared, 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 en¬ 
graving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 34 lb., 
$2.00 Id. 
“ Your Long Island White Bush Squash is a great 
success here, proving very prolific."
