HENDERSON’S 
Long' Season SpinacH. 
J^PINACH 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 
j most delicious of “boiling greens” may be enjoyed 
i 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 intensely dark green 
Color; their great substance and short leaf stalks en¬ 
able 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 run¬ 
ning to seed and remain in an edible condition. It 
is the best variety to be sown in the spring, and at 
monthly intervals for a successional summer supply.

("\NE 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 new 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 winter or 
may be dug and stored in sand or earth in Novem¬ 
ber, thus keeping them plump and sweet, to be 
used as desired during the winter. (See cut.)

"White B\ish Sqxiash. 
The white scalloped “Patty Pan” or “Cym- 
ling” has for years been a favorite summer 
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.
