VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES 
Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify, or Oyster Plant. 
C'NNE of the most delicious of winter vege- 
tables, 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 
superseding 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 winter 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.,

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,

** lar yellow summer crookneck. The squashes

ous plants of compact bush habit; fruits

flesh yellow and of superior quality. {See cut.)

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND 
White Bush Squash. 
H E white scalloped ‘ ‘ Patty Pan ” or ‘ ‘ Cy m- 
* ling” has for years been a favorite sum¬ 
mer squash, on account of its earliness, etc., 
but this new sort 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.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. J4 lb., $1.00 lb.
