All of the varieties listed in this catalog were bred and selected with one object in mind, and

types for the long distance shipper, as well as 
those that appeal primarily to the local market 
trade. Whether your market is far or near, 
Henderson’s seeds produce the crops that bring 
good returns. 

Owing to crop shortages on many items, it is ad- 
visable to place your order early.

ARTICHOKE 
GREEN GLOBE. 
The most popular American variety of this delicacy. The flower 
bud is the portion of the plant used for food and is produced the 
second year after sowing the seed. The plants are tender and 
should be protected by a heavy mulch in sections having severe 
winters.

HENDERSON’S RIVIERA. 
An improved strain of the well known Italian Green Sprouting or 
Calabrese type. The plant is tall and branching. A large bluish- 
green flower bud head develops in the center. After this is re- 
moved, smaller heads are produced on the side branches. If the 
heads are kept cut the plants will continue to produce other heads 
for many weeks.

HENDERSON’S LONG ISLAND. 
This is a special selection of the Long Island Improved type. The 
seed is produced on Long Island and is superior to ordinary strains 
in use today. The plant is dwarf, 20 to 24 inches tall. The sprouts 
or cabbage-like balls are about 11/2 inches in diameter, very solid, 
and are so closely set that the stem is completely covered.
