Remittances should be made either in the form of an Express Money Order, P. O. Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. Customers can also shop by express, as all express companies have purchasing departments in all their offices. If you wish to order goods from us to be sent by express, ask for a Purchasing Order Blank at any express office, and it will be supplied and forwarded without charge, other than usual rates for returning goods. If goods are wanted C. O. D., 25 per cent. of the amount must accom- pany the order. Give full shipping instructions on each and every order you send. Orders from unknown correspondents, without remittance, should be accompanied by New York City references, to save delay. By writing out your order on the Order Sheets which accompany this catalogue you will greatly facilitate our work. When goods are ordered from both seed and greenhouse establishments, we always combine, where practicable, the orders, and make one shipment. Extra Order Sheets mailed on application. Be sure to sign your name and give your address. Many orders reach us lacking either or both; customers when writing about unsigned orders will aid us in identification by mentioning some of the articles ordered. WHEN WE EXECUTE ORDERS. Every order is filled immediately on arrival, or is acknowledged if, un- der rare circumstances, its shipment is likely to be delayed for a day or two. If goods, notification of shipment or acknowledgment of orderis not received by the customer after a reasonable lapse of time, it may be assumed that the order has miscarried, or that the naine or address was omitted from the order. We will, when notified of such a case, use our best efforts to trace it without delay. We fill orders of all values from the smallest to the largest, and all re- ceive the same careful and prompt attention. WE MAKE NO CHARGE FOR PACKING AND SHIPPING, We make no charge for packing, cases, baskets, packages or bar- rels, and pack as lightly as possible, consistent with safety, so as to reduce the cost of carriage when paid by purchaser. In fact, we assume extra expense in supplying light, strogg cases, and, where possible, we pack in baskets, which greatly reduces weight. : Cloth bags only we charge for, and these at cost, viz.: 1 peck, 10c.; 1% bush., 12c.; 1 bush., 15c.; 2 bush., 20c.

The vital point is, What will they produce? This is a matter that is too seldom taken into consideration by the average buyer, many of whom are more interested in hunting for the lowest in price, while progressive farmers and gar- deners appreciate that ‘blood will tell” in seeds as well as in animals, and realizing that their profits for a whole year depend upon the seeds they plant, they avoid ‘‘cheap”’ seeds as being poor economy, knowing that superior seeds produce superior and more profitable crops. benefit of people who have never dealt with us, we claim to be the producers and distributers of the BEST SEEDS IN THE WORLD-— it is our business and our profession. We know that planters of seeds buy them entirely on confidence ; we realize that to lose a man’s confidence is to lose his patronage. Pour seeds, TRY THEM THIS YEAR, and we will try and retain your confidence, as we have succeeded in doing with annually-increasing thousands for over half a century. | Ge in justice to ourselves and our seeds, and for the | If If you had the time and we had the space, we could entertain you with thousands of letters of similar purport to the following: tienderson’s Superior Seeds, *‘ Direct to the Planter,’’ Appreciated : “I think your ‘New Departure’ is a good one and will receive its reward. It is 21 years since I purchased my first * Henderson’s Seeds,’ and I have yet to find one seed or plant that has failed to fulfill the utmost expectations when purchased from you direct, but I have several times purchased seeds elsewhere labeled ‘Henderson's so and so,’ and found them. inferior, leaving me to lament too late, that I had been foolish enough to allow myselt to ‘fall among thieves’ for the sake of saving a little time. Heartily wishing you success.”’—J. G. BRITTAIN, West Arlington, Baltimore, Md. “You state you will henceforth deal direct with planters; I think this will meet with general approval. Your seeds are the truest to name of any, and I have bought from a good many seedsmen.’’—R. L. Nasu, Palmetto, Fla. “We can get seeds nearer home, but quality in garden seeds is of more importance. Unquestionably your seeds are the surest and safest. We have never planted a seed from Henderson that refused to grow.” —QvUARRY GARDENS, Leesville Cross Roads, Ohio. Henderson’s Superior Seeds Produce the Prize-Winners: «4m pleased with your seeds; I have taken first premiums on best collections of vegetables raised by gardeners here for the last five years. I also took many separate premiums on specimens, such as your Succession Cabbage, etc.’’—C. PFLRGING, Terre Haute, Ind. “IT have much pleasure in telling you that I have won eight prizes at the Horticultural Show here, for vegetables and flowers grown from your seeds.” —J. M. Hetson, Harbor Commissioner’s Office, Montreal, Can. ““T get more prizes on vegetables raised from your seeds than from those of any other seedsmen.’’—Miss M. J. SWEET, West Broome, Prov. Quebec. Henderson’s Superior Seeds Retain our Gustomers for Decades : “Seeds and plants give entire satisfaction. I believe myself to be one of the oldest customers of your firm—I was a student in New York during the years 1849-50—returning home I purchased at your store and have dealt with you ever since.’’—Dr. GEO. T. BINGAy, Westport, N.S. “T have dealt now with your firm for over 30 years, and I safely assert that after trying various other seedsmen during that period, I have always returned to Peter Henderson & Co., as the most reliable firm in its dealings.” —Joun F. WIELANDY, Santa Fe, New Mexico. “It is about 40 years since we first ordered seeds from Peter Henderson & Co., and we have ordered more or less all this time from the establishment with | general satisfaction. Never had reason to complain.” —A. M. ENGLE, Moonlight, Kans. ! Henderson’s Superior Seeds Yield Superior Grops : “T used your seeds along with others in the spring, and can truthfully say that Henderson's Seeds yielded more than twice the crop of any other.”’ —W™mM. KELLY, Paterson, N. J. “TI have used many different growers’ seeds, but yours excel all others in yielding capacity.’’—EDWIN INMAN, South Amboy, N. J. ““T was prevented from sending my usual order to you last spring, but the results from seeds obtained elsewhere were so distinctly inferior to what I have been accustomed to secure with your seeds, that I return to you.” —L. W. CHANEY, Northfield, Minn. “ People here are enraptured with the quality of vegetables produced from your seeds; they are the acme of perfection—all true to types—and would serve as models for your catalogue pictures. This is no praise, but facts.” C. H. Roy, Jellico, Tenn. Henderson’s Superior Seeds Bring Forth Press Gomments : ‘“‘We take pleasure in noting the beautiful catalogue, ‘Everything for the Garden,’ from the old and trustworthy house of Peter Henderson & Co. The sterling worth of the firm’s goods is too well known to require amplifica- tion.’’—EXTRACT FROM RURAL NEW YORKER. “‘Henderson’s Catalogue is on our table. This publication represents one of the oldest seed houses in America, and one that does an immense business. The name of Peter Henderson & Co. is a household word wherever flowers and vegetables are grown and gardens planted.’’—KANSAS CITY STAR. “The house of Peter Henderson & Co. has long since established a name for the reliable quality and purity of the large quantities of seeds handled by it.’’—EXTRACT FROM FLORISTS’ EXCHANGE. Henderson’s Seeds are Recommended by Old Gustomers to New: “Everything we have gotten from you, seeds, plants and bulbs, have been all and more thau you represented them to be. I most cheerfuily recommend your firm whenever opportunity presents.’’—W. J. MARTIN, Clarinda, Iowa. “At the close of a prosperous season in gardening operations, I cannot refrain from expressing Iny appreciation of the superior quality of your seeds and the product of the same. I planted none but Peter Henderson & Co.’s seeds, and if a single seed failed to germinate, Ido not know it, and the fruits proved quite true. I deem it a duty I owe your house, in consideration of the quality of your goods and the gentlemanly manner in which you have always treated me, to make this fact known to my friends, and to secure for you as many new customers as possible, as I am morally sure that your old cus- tomers need no solicitation.” —HENRY L. GRANT, Grafton, W. Va. HENDERSON’S PLANTS BRING JOY TO THOUSANDS OF HOMES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. “The plants came Saturday morning, and I am very much pleased with them. I think they are the nicest I have ever received for the money. I thank you for the extras you so kindly sent—I did not expect any with so small an order—and also for the advice you gave about the Camellia.” —Mrs. G. R. PIERPONT, Salem, Va. “1 wish to acknowledge the safe arrival and excellent condition of the plants sent by you, and also to thank you for the gift of several rose plants aud others as premiums. I beg also to state that all my orders to you in the past have been most satisfactorily filled, and my garden is a very constant reminder of your courteous attention to my orders.” —Mrs. G. SEABERY, St. Paul, Minn. “ Your package of plants came in perfect. order. They looked as healthy, fresh and green as if picked yesterday. They were at once put into the ground according to directions, and all seem as tho’ they liked the climate.” —Mrs. J. H. WARREN, San Francisco, Cal. “‘T must write you a few lines to thank you for the very nice Jot ofextras which you put in with my last order of plants. Your generosity in this respect ought certainly to secure you life-long friends and patrons, of which I will always be one. The extra plants you give, together with the splendi uality of your goods, makes it more advantageous to order from you tl from cheaper houses, whose plants and seeds are not good. Again thanking you, i remain, WALTER D. KLAppP, Natchez, Miss.” Be UN All who love to embellish their lawns and gardens} and those planning new grounds, should have Henderson's Picturesque Gardens.” This unique new book mirrors the charms of the prettiest parks, lawns and gardens of Europe and America. The picturesque, the natural and the gardenesque adornments are reflected in about two hundred magnificent photographie illustrations from nature— many of these views are 5 x 7 inches, some larger, few smaller; they are grouped and printed in a most artistic manner on heavy-coated paper with just enough text matter to describe the view and name the plants, vines, trees and shrubs needed to produce a similar effect or design. There are in this country many lawns, gardens and grounds which the owners would improve and embellish, but they do not know exactly what they want, what would look well nor how to go about it, and it is for the benefit of such that we have prepared this book, for, although there are countless works of exhaustive precept on landscaping and gardening, there have been none issued so rich with illustrations of example as in HENDERSON'S “PICTURESQUE GARDENS.” In it we force no particular styles or fashions, but describe and picture such a great variety of lawn and garden creations that some fruitful suggestions must be found adaptable to the environment of every home, whether pretentious or modest. The range of the book includes: lawn views, lawn gardens, park lawns, geometrical bedding and designs, flower beds and borders, herbaceous borders and wild gardens, grouped and specimen plants, trees, shrubs, etc., shrubberies, rockeries, ferneries, roseries, parterres, aquatic gardens, terrace and sunken gardens, walled gardens, old-fashioned and topiary gardens, French, Italian, English and Japanese gardens, American gardens (City, Villa and Suburban), verdure arches, bowers, pergolas, floral clock, the ‘‘maze”’ and other unique and artistic effects with plants, trees and vines, garden rests and retreats, walks, drives, eutrances, statuary, fountains, vases, sun dials and numerous garden adornments. HENDERSON’S “ PICTURESQUE GARDENS” is handsomely bound, and will grace any library table, even as an album of the beautiful in gardens. Price, $1.50, postpaid (or allowed free as a premium, as per conditions on page 5). PARTIAL VIEW OF THE . THE PAN-AMERIGAN EXPOSITION . i Sere BUFFALO, N.

It is the best seed that I have ever seen and by far superior to any other that has been sown here.” R. ULRICH, Sup’t Landscape Dep't. Sept. Ist, 1900. And later Mr. Ulrich informs us: “The lawns from your seed are the finest on our grounds; they are ofthat BEAUTIFUL RICH GREEN color, so much darker and different from any of the others, some of which are of such a pale yellow green that I fear we shall have to plow them up and resow with your seed.” For FULL PARTICULARS of the “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED, see pages 192 and 193, where is shown in colors, by photo-lithography, the beautiful lawn and grounds of Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt. or 8 OD, O52 9.0,9 0.90 LFA CDS KOLO OM LILES ALLO | FREE SEEDS "= FREE PLANTS = PURGHASERS ON GASH ORDERS = = ' MAY SELEGT Prem HHT] FROM THIS GATALOGUE For Vegstablé Seeds, Flower Seeds, Plants, Bulbs and Books, WITH THE EXGEPTIONS MENTIONED AT THE FOOT OF THIS PAGE.

Henderson’s “Bountiful” is absolutely Stringless And produces pods unusually large and uniform in shape, and deliciously tender, remaining so for a remarkably long period. It is a prodigious cropper and extremely early; besides this it is remarkably hardy. A customer brought us, on November 3d, a very fine mess picked on that day, and although the vines had been slightly touched by frost, the beans were in perfect condition and of exquisite quality. This variety will give fullest satisfaction to every grower, whether for market or private use. (See cut.)

Coming in with the Wakefield, and yielding one-third more than any other Extra Early. This variety is of the Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, and has only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it may be planted twenty-one inches apart, 13,500 to the acre. Remembering that this is a first early flat variety, the shape that is so popular on all markets, and that it is ready fully a week earlier than any sort like it, its value ean be read- ily appreciated. The stem is short, mak- ing almost the whole plant edible. It is finely bred, the veining of the leaves being particularly fine. There is no cabbage we know of having a more solid head; it has also the peculiarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that the finest cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has at- tained its mature size. Its shape and large yield per acre make it particularly valuable for truckers, and its good quality will render it the finest early cabbage for private gardens. (See cut.)

BU — “T planted a small quantity of your Metropolitan Sweet Corn last season beside Kendel’s Early Giant, Cory and Perry’s Hybrid. All received equal atten- tion and Metropolitan was earlier than any, had larger ears, filled better at tip, and was vastly superior in tenderness and flavor. It is, | indeed, an acquisition, and I hope to plant a large quantity next season.”’— C. J. Ropinson, Paterson, N. J. itis ae J “Metropolitan”? Sweet Gorn. Chi There are three serious de- fects to which early varieties of Corn are liable, viz., weakness of plant, inferior flavor and ‘‘smut.” It is safe to say that there has never been on the market any one variety of Corn that combined the essential features of earli- ness and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these important character- istics, ‘‘METROPOLITAN” certainly outclasses any other variety. It is only two days later than Cory, which, until now, has been the earliest sort. The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 516 feet in height. The leaves are numer- ous, narrow and very dark green in color. The ears are all set low, not over 1144 feet from the ground, producing from. two to three to the plant. They are uniformly 9 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip with large deep grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses in a remarkable degree that exquisite richness so well known in the larger and later sorts. We should add that an ample husk fully insures its value as a shipping variety; indeed, the combination of good qualities possessed by it makes it the most desirable of all for early trucking.

The general color, clear bright green, is never bronzed by outdoor growth under any climatic conditions. It is medium in size, the entire plant measuring about ten inches in diameter. It hasa peculiar habit of heading, the head standing clear away from the outer leaves, which lie flat on the ground, a valuable feature for outside culture, securing an equable moisture around the root of the plant. It has but little stalk; the headis very solid. The leaves are thin, slightly crumpled, very crisp and entirely without that heavy veining which makes some of the best sorts bitter to the taste. Very valuable for growing under glass, making it a valuable acquisition to the market grower. (See cut.) PRICE, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $1.50.

The vines are exceedingly healthy and vigorous, bearing an enormous quantity of fruits during the entire season. It is safe to say that no Melon has ever come into the New York markets which has sold so readily and at such high prices as the *‘ Rocky Ford.” _ Enormous prices have been paid for this variety to the exclusion of many others. It is impossible to overestimate its value. The ground color of the skin is, when ripe, of a rich, greenish gold, the netting is very prominent and is light in color, which makes the outer appearance very attractive. The flesh is very deep, ripening clear to the rind, and it hasan exceedingly small seed cavity. It is very sweet and luscious in flavor, and is entirely devoid of any stringy character. Our seed was specially grown for us by a careful grower at Rocky Ford, and is the best type of the genuine ‘‘ Rocky Ford” Musk Melon. (See cut.)

NEWEARLY TOMATO, “FREEDOM.” Is the best Extra Early tomato in existence, as early as the earliest tomato grown, and unqualifiedly superior in other respects.

The fruits are of good size, perfectly round, and remarkably handsome, smooth as glass, and of brilliant scarlet. The flesh is remarkably solid, having but few seeds. The flavor is perfect, absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large clusters, in phenomenal abundance and continuously, from the middle of July . z cers (in this latitude) until killed by frost. We highly recommend it, not only for its extreme and bountiful earliness, but as a good, all- LIVINGSTON’S season variety.

It is thick, heavy and solid, and most handsome. It is unsurpassed in quality, and in the production of fine, large fruits. While perfectly adapted to main crop planting, yet it matures so quickly that it will take first rank for early market. The form is perfect, uniform, large and attractive. Flesh is very firm. It is a robust grower, with short joints, setting its fruit clusters closer together than most varieties, and is there- fore a heavy cropper. The fruits are very deep from stem to blossom end, | many of them being almost globe-shaped. It ripens evenly, does not crack | about the stem, and the flavor is most desirable. (See cut.)

Very productive, the fruit is of uniform size and form, being nearly round or apple-shaped, and about three inches in diameter. Although it blooms with the early tomatoes, it does not mature its fruits until quite late, ripening very slowly from the centre outwards (just the reverse of other tomatoes); at first it turns ivory-white, gradually changing to yellow, then pink, deepening into beautiful red when fully ripe. The fruits are wonderful keepers, being very solid and firm, enduring handling and shipping that would ruin other tomatoes. Fruit can be picked when passing out of the white stage, and be shipped or stored away for days and be in fine ripe condition when wanted for use. Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 14 lb., $4.00 lb.

This is an early and vigorous grow- ing variety, yielding a great profusion of tender pods of a beautiful waxy appearance. The vine grows about one and a half feet high, holding the pods well off the ground, thus keep- ing them clean and attractive. It is singularly free from blight and rust. The pods are flat and large. 10c. pkt., lic. pt., 25c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel. REFUGEE WAX. Among green beans, the Refugee type has always been most valuable. This wax variety has all the peculiar characteristics of the old Refugee, such as small, dense foliage, great productiveness, roundness of pod and handsome appearance. It will readily be seen that the ad- vantages gained in producing a wax form of this must be great. It produces pods of aclear, transparent color. It re- mains tender longer than any other wax sort, and is practi- cally ever-bearing. It is free from rust, and its dense habit of growth renders it proof against long-continued drought. This feature is valuable, and this is the only Wax Bean we know of that possesses it. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel. HENDERSON’S IMPROVED BLACK WAX. This is an improved stock of the old Black Wax The plant is strong and so vigorous in growth that it effectually repels attacks of rust, while its ample foliage so completely shelters the pods from the rays of the sun that they are always uniformly of a translucent, creamy yellowcolor. It is exceedingly early and enormously productive. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $5.50 bushel. White Seeded Wax.

IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX. This is one of the handsomest beans we haveever seen, being of dark rich golden yellow color andof perfect shape. It is of grand qual- ity, showing nostring or coarsenesseven when past its best, butis of tender, melt- ing flavor at all stages of its growth. For market gardeners or private fam- ilies, no better bush bean ean be planted. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $5.50 bushel. GOLDEN WAX. A strong-grow- ing, distinct variety, at least a week earlier than the Black Wax. The pods are long, brittle and en- tirely stringless. As a snap bean it perhaps excels all others in ten- derness and richness of flavor. Seeds, when ripe, purple and white. 10c. pkt., 15¢e. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. \( seneu’s Rustless Golden Wax. A strong-growing bush variety of re- markable vigor and freedom from rust; it sends out short tendrils on which pods are formed in addition to those near the central stalk of the plant, which accounts for its wonderful productiveness, amounting, under favorable conditions, to 100-fold. The pods are meaty and well filled, thick-flat when young and semi-round later; of rich yellow color and fine quality, and entirely stringless, even when old enough to shell. They are also free from that parchment-like lining which makes many varieties tough, unless when very young. If the pods are picked as fast as formed, the plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for a long season. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c, qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel. VALENTINE WAX. in Improved Extra Early Valentine Bean, with round wax pods. A striking acquisition has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through the introduction of this variety. Up till now there has been no variety of such prominence among Wax Beans that could compare with that of the Valentine among green beans. We now have an excellent Wax- podded variety possessing in a remarkable degree the excellent features of this sort. It is very early fora Wax Bean. A planting made on June 12th gave us a fair picking by July 28th—46 days. e Its value asa shipper remains to be proved, but itiscertainly very tender, and almost without string; in fact, the pod is free from any toughness whatever, but is remarkablysolidthrough- out. It is handsome in appear- ance, and while itis fair to say that we have not yet seen it ex- posed toconditions conducive to the development of rust, yet we think it will prove to be almost rustless. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., . 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 peck, “ $5.50 bushel. WARDWELL’S KIDNEY WAX. This variety is very hardy,and both pod and plants are more robust than usual for a Wax Bean. The shape of the beans is ; distinct from all other Wax varieties, being of a perfect kidney shape. It produces a heavy erep of purely Wax pods, which are very long, flat, showy and not liable to rust or blister. Very early. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel.

In our trial grounds last summer it was fit for the table on August Ist, which was at least ten days earlier than any other green climbing sort. It is enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clus- ters from top to bottom of the pole. It is entirely stringless, and the pods area silvery green color, resembling the popular Refugee Bush Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and melting, and we can recommend itas the best green Pole Bean. (Seecut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. GOLDEN CHAMPION. This is certain to be the leading Early Wax Pole Bean, as it is fully two weeks earlier than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick on July 24th of last year. The pods are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax in size and form; color, light yellow. They are absolutely stringless and cook tender. The Golden Champion was the only Wax Pole Bean that did not rust or spot badly in our trial grounds last summer.

In our experience with it from year to year, we have found it invariably ten days to two weeks earlier than any other Pole Lima. The pods of it have been large enough to pick July 24th, and have been sold in the New York markets a week later. The beans are a trifle smaller than those of the Large White Lima, but are all the better on that account, as small beans are always considered preferable, being more tender and delicious. Every one desiring a Pole Lima Bean should plant the Jersey Extra Early, as it combines, better than any other, quantity, quality and earliness. (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25e. pt., 40ce. qt., $2.50 peck.

SER YER ABE THE BEST First Early Gabbage HENDERSON’S SELEGTED serseu WAKBIIGIC Jersey This Cabbage, though intro- duced years ago by the late Peter Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best extra early variety in cultiva- tion, andis morelargely grown than all other First Early Cab- bages combined. Itis the good, old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earliness and crop. Among its merits may also be men- tioned its large size of head for so early a variety and the small outside foliage, allowing it to be closely planted; the heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. We believe our selected stock has not its equal. (See cut.)

With this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks of Wakefield a larger type, which is now so fixed in its character that we can offer it with confidence to those de- siring a Cabbage of this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent. larger in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a few days later. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 14 1b., $4.00 lb. “Charleston Wakefield cannot be beat for solid heading.

In addition to this, it has no tendency whatever toruntoseed. We can say without exaggeration that it is the finest cabbage in existence to-day ; whether for medium early, main crop or late use, it has noequal. Itisso finely bred and so true to type that in a field of twenty acres every head appears alike. We can recommend it either for the market gardener, trucker or private planter, as itis a per- fect cabbage in every respect, not only being of the largest size, but of handsome color and of the finest quality. It is probably the safest variety for an amateur to plant as it does well at all seasons, and one is almost sure of getting a crop, no matter when itis planted. Our stocks of cabbage of all varieties have for years been the acknowledged standard of excellence in this country, and when we state that we consider Succession to be the most valuable variety that we have ever introduced, our opinion of its great merit will be apparent to all. We could fill many pages of our catalogue with unsolicited flattering testimonials that we have received from all sections of the country in regard to its great excellence. (See cut.)

I have raised from them Cabbages that could not be surpassed in size and solidity of heads. It has been with me an all-year-round Cabbage.’'—A.M.KIMBERLIN, Zanesville, Ohio. “ We had 1,000 plants of Autumn King Cabbage from you Jast year, and, considering the terribly dry season we had, 1 think there is no other Cabbage like it either for pickling or for other winter use.’’—P. M. ALEXANDER, Canton, O. “The Autumn King Cabbage gave large solid heads, 15 to 18 pounds, as stated in catalogue. It received nothing but praise from all who saw it.’’-—RoBT. SMITH, Louisville, Ky. “The Autumn King Cabbage is the best late variety for this country I have ever struck. The water was all over my gar- den the 9th of November, and I was obliged to gather the Flat Dutch varieties, but the Autumn King is stillout and is in good condition. The water being over the heads did not make them burst. It is a King among Cabbage.’’—WM. RuGG, Bridgeport, Conn. “From your Autumn King Cabbage Seed I have raised the finest Cabbages that I ever saw. Some of the heads (after being trimmed ready for market) weighed 19 pounds in Sep- tember. It is very tender and of fine flavor.’’—L. A.

This peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation, all statements to the contrary notwithstanding, that it is the finest late Cabbage in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it produces enor- mous, solid heads of that glaucous green shade that is most desirable in a Cab- bage. It has also such small outer leaves that it can be planted much closer together than the ordinary late sorts, and it can be relied upon to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact that it pro- duces very few outer leaves and goes atl to head. A distinctive feature of the AUTUMN Kin is the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its appear- ance, but enable it to be distinguished anywhere. So distinct is the AUTUMN KING that the veriest novice can readily tell it in the trial grounds at a glance, and yet, notwithstanding this distinctiveness, a Long Island grower succeeded in foisting it under a new name on a Philadelphia firm of seedsmen. It is only fair to say that on having their attention called to the matter they have in a way acknowledged their error. We mention this that our customers may not be misled.

HOLLAND. This variety is known also as Dutch Winter and Danish Ball Head. Its principal value lies in its hard heading qualities, which make it positively the best ship- per and winter keeper of any on the market. The weight of a head trimmed for market is fully one-fourth more than that of any other variety of a similar size. Destined ¢ to occupy a prominent place in market produce.

They are particularly adapted for private use, where quality rather than quantity is desired. Grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one of the most delicious of all vegetables. NETTED SAVOY. Thisis the finest of the Savoy class, and a general fa- vorite.

By my own experience, I know yours is far ahead of all others; yours is not only the earliest but the surest heading Cauliflower, while other much-lauded kinds were of no value.” A. KATZWINKEL, Market Gardener, Mendota, Ills. “Please send me 2 Ibs. of Henderson’s Snowball Cauliflower as promptly as possible. Iam a market gardener, and would like to say that Ihave severadl times tried other so-called ‘Snowballs’ along- side of yours, and while some of these samples had not a single specimeu true to name, yours produced 100 per cent. good heads.” JAMES BaRRATT, Winnipeg, Manitoba. “From one ounce of your Snowball Cauliflower seed I raised 3,500 plants. I have tried Cauliflower seed from several seedsmen, but never have had any success except with the true Henderson Snowball.” ARTHUR L. MILLER, Edella, Pa. “ My Snowball Cauliflower grown from your seeds were a perfect success, both outside and under glass, not one failing to head. Size and quality the best.’ JAMES WHITE, Gardener to Jesse Tyson, Esq., Melvale, Md. T is hardly necessary for us to describe this variety at all, as its name has now become a household word wherever this delicious vegetable is grown. Henderson’s Snowball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere for quality with the market gardener and the amateur. While originally recommended and used as an early variety, it has not only supplanted all other sorts for early spring planting, but it has largely driven out the large late sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality, and the only Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head when the conditions are right, forming a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter. HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER is superior to all others. It is the earliest of all Cauliflowers. Its close- growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be planted en the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Harly Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown.

Our cut is no flattering representation, but shows it as we have seen it in enormous quantities, and we strongly advise our customers to plantit. It is one of the most uniform in shape that we know, and where the soil is favorable it will always grow clean and free from side roots. The core is small and very tender, and there is no indication of woody character at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free from any coarse, rank flavor so common with many sorts. For private purposes it is ideal, and its yielding capacity is enormous, which, with its handsome color and fine appearance, makes it invaluable to truckers.

The combined weight of twelve of these carrots : makes a bushel. One of the carrots is fifteen and three-quarters of an inch in circumference, one foot long, and weighs nearly seven pounds. Upon being asked the reason of his success in gardening, Dr. Allen said it was due to the use of good seed, which for the last fifteen years he had purchased of Peter Henderson & Co., of New York. Dr. AHen further remarked that he thought farmers were generally too indifferent in regard to the quality of seed which they used, and that he had found it most economical in the end to purchase the best.” __ , 414 Mi Ww, Nf i WE COULD FILL PAGES WITH PRAISE Perfected White Plume SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING: “Your White Plume Celery last year was the best I ever had. reverted to the old green type.” “*T will occupy the space left by my wife to say a few words in praise of my Per- --f0r..

My bed is certainly the handsomest thing in celery I ever saw. Some of the feathered hearts measure twenty inches in length when trimmed and bunched for market.” ==— CELERY HENDERSON’S ‘“‘Derfected White Plume” Introduced into cultivation by us, and now more largely grown than all other Celeries combined. Is the EARLIEST variety grown, and can be blanched for the table in September. It has attained the pinnacle of perfection for growth, earliness, beauty, flavor and texture. Those who never could grow celery before can succeed with Henderson’s Periected White Plume” Gelery. Introduced by us years ago; time has proved it to be one of our most valuable contributions to horticulture. It is now more popular and more largely grown than all other varieties of celery combined. People who never grew celery before have no more trouble in growing and blanching Henderson’s White Plume Celery ready for the table than in growing ordinary garden vegetables, for no ‘‘banking up” is necessary. The peculiarity of this variety is that the stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart are white naturally, so that by simply tying the plant together, or by drawing the soil against it, pressing it with the hands and then repeating the operation to hold the soil already placed against the plant in position, the work of blanching is completed. Henderson’s White Plume Celery pre- sents a highly ornamental appearance on the dinner table, and its crisp, succulent stalks and delicious flayor are unequaled by any vegetable grown. Unfortunately the variety has always had a tendency to revert to the old green type, and it has always produced a proportion of green plants, but persevering selection for years enables us now to offer an almost absolutely pure stock, so superior that we feel justified in calling it ‘‘Hen- derson’s Perfected White Plume.’’ (See cut.)

Golden Rose is a development of the favorite Golden Self-blanching, and shows its parentage in its strong habit of growth, while its self-blanching character is strongly fixed. The plant is dwarf and heavy, the stalks are very broad and solid, and are also entirely free from those objectionable ridges which generally accompany stringiness ; indeed, there is so little string that the stalks are positively brittle. The general coloris about identical with Gold- en Self-blanching, except that the naturally golden- eolored stalks are suffused with a warm, rosy hue, which gradually fades towards the top of the stalks, where it assumes a bright.golden color when properly blanched and fit for the table. The unique combination of color makes it exquisitely beautiful in appearance, and its self- blanching habit assures its earliness, while its hardiness and solidity bespeak its ability to keep for a considerable time. (Seecut.) 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1-25 14 lb. “ T raised quite a little of your Golden Rose Celery this year and must say that it is everything you claim.”—GEORGE BRADFORD, Kalamazoo, Mich.

Being several days earlier than Kolb’s Gem, it will succeed in a latitude far north of that popular variety. It attains an enormous size; the (ole’s Early atermelon. A most Delicious and Productive Variety for the Family Garden, succeeding in Northern States, where Melons were never matured before. COLE’S EARLY is positively the finest ‘‘ all-round” Watermelon in existence, and for the private family garden it is without a peer. People, particularly in our Northern States, who have never before been able to grow this most nectareous of fruits, can now enjoy from the beginning to the closs of the season the most delicious of all Watermelons, for COLE’S EARLY is not only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it continues to bear most bountifully throughout the entire season. The flesh is of a beautiful bright red color, crisp, and extremely delicate in tex- ture—that granulated, cool, sparkling appearance that is so cap- tivating to the eye; in flavor it is lusciously sweet and refresh- ing, no pithiness or stringiness. The Melons are not large, seldom over 12 inches in length by 9 inches in diameter, but what they lack in size is more than made up in number and solidity. The heart is unusually large; there is little or no cavity, and very few seeds—all solid flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to the rind. It can be grown, and successfully, too, over a larger latitude than any other Watermelon, and it will invariably mature large crops in any of the Northern States when the season is as long as that of New York. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 30c. 14 lb., 80c. lb. ““T have been successful in growing Cole's Early Watermelon in my garden on the summit ofthe Shawangunk Mountains, at a measured elevation of 1,875 feet above sea-level. The melons matured, and were superior in flavor and sweetness to anything in the market. No melons were ever before matured in this neighborhood.”’—Mr. C. W. DuRHAM, of 110 West 27th Street, New York City. “Cole's Early Watermelon has attracted universal admira- tion. It has hitherto been considered impossible to ripen water- melons in Santa Fé, at an altitude of over 7,000 feet above sea- level, on account of the comparatively short summer here and cool nights, the thermometer never averaging over 60° at night even during July and August. From the package of seed 1 grew fifteen hills, that bore some sixty melons weighing from eight to fourteen pounds, and not a single melon failed to ripen fully, and several persons who tried them were unanimous in pronouncing them sweet, juicy and delicious, far superior to the big coarse melons we get from the South; on account of their thin rind, they contain as much flesh as the big melons shipped here which weigh (gross) nearly double the weight ot #Cole’s, I am informed that these melons were the only ones suecessfully raised in this place.’—J.

Dry, Sweet and Rich. Wonderfully Prolific. The exterior of this beautiful Squash is orange-yellow, splashed and striped with dark green. The flesh is rich and dry; the quality is particularly fine. For private use we can recommend it as surpassing in richness of flavor any of the large, old-fashioned sorts. The Delicata is the earliest of any vine Squash that we have ever tested, and is so prolific that last season, from twelve hills of two plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were gathered; it is of small size, but this is a desirable feature as it is not too large for an ordinary family. This variety is wonderfully solid and heavy, the seed cavities being very small; it is also extremely early, maturing about the same time as the Summer Squashes, and for early use will doubtless supplant this class on account of its superior dryness and flavor, while its extreme solidity renders it fully as good a keeper as any of the winter varieties.

Country Gentleman says: ‘‘ Below the taller grasses was a thick mat of finer kinds, and the close, rich turf hid every particle of soil.”’ American Agriculturist says: ‘‘Such mixtures are far superior to Timothy, or ‘Timothy and Clover,’ or any one grass, costing but a little more, lasting much longer, and giving frequently more than double the yield.” Farm and Home says: ‘The enormous yield of nearly four and one-half tons of good hay per acre should convince any one that more hay and better pasture can be grown with mixtures than with Timothy and Clover alone, as under the very same conditions the latter yielded less than a ton and a half per acre.”’ How the Farm Pays says: ‘Far in advance not only of Timothy but of any other Grass we have thus far in cultivation.”’ At our Farm one of these Mixtures yielded (first cutting, 5,888 /bs.; second cutting, 4,320 /bs. per acre) a total of 10,208 LBS. CURED HAY PER ACRE, while Timothy growing alongside under same conditions yielded only one cutting of 2,400 /bs. per acre. At first sight, $7.50 to $10.00 per acre appears to bea high price for the seeding of a pasture, but bear in mind that it is a permanent pasture that we have in view, and nowhere can a per- manent pasture be laid down properly for a less original outlay than that we name.

When pure seed is expensive, as it is this year, Red Clover is frequently purposely adulterated with Yellow Tre- foil (a small yellow-flowered annual clover of little or no value and apt to become a weed), sold to the unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who do not have the expert knowledge to detect it, and upon whom it is foisted by unscrupulous dealers.

PEAS FOR FODDER #7 GREEN MIANURING. “Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year than is now purchased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.”’—( Yearbook ofthe U.S. Department of Agriculture.) For the Northern States there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas and none is more neglected, which can only be attributed to a lack of knowl- edge as to its merits. Whether for fodder, in mixture with oats, sown at the rate of two bushels each per acre, or the Peas sown alone at the rate of three bushels per acre for plowing under, there is,no crop that we can so strongly recommend for more extended culture. Like all leguminous crops, Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen from the air, and the soil from which a crop of Peas has been harvested is richer in nitrogen than before the Peas were sown upon it, and there is no kind of live stock on the farm to which Peas and Oats in mixture cannot be fed with positive advantage. The Canada varieties, the Mummy and Marrowfat, should be sown early in spring, but Cow Peas are more tender and should not be sown until corn planting time. Cow Peas, being of very rapid growth during the warm weather, can be sown as late as the middle of July with reasonable assurance of a profitable crop, either for harvesting or e py Ce Le Bree ay ; = NY A LZE EG EVES y W se ny V ) Di plowing under.

The ordinary Soja Bean of the South is too late to be of value in the Northern States. This variety ripens even in Massachusetts, where it grew nearly four feet in height, was heavily podded and yielded over ten tons per acre. It is a very valuable fodder variety either for curing, feeding green or for the silo in mixture with Corn. It is a rich, nitrogenous feed, is unsurpassed as aflesh former, and, like the Clovers, is a soilim- prover. (See cut.) 15c.lb., $1.25 peck, $4.00 bushel of 60 lbs.

DWAREF ESSEX RAPE. Under favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. When on the Rape theyshould at all times have access to salt; but water is not necessary. In the Northern States it should be sown from May to the end of August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the Southern States until Sep- tember or October for winter pasture. In the latitude of New York, July or August is the best time to sow. Its fattening properties are probably twice as good as those of Clover, and for sheep the feeding value of Rape excels all other plants we know of. Sow 4 Ibs. per acre broad- east, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. (See cut.) 10c. lb., $3.75 bushel of 50 Ibs., 100 lbs. $7.50. If by mail, add 8c. lb. MILLET.

(Vicia Villosa. ) Though it succeeds and produces good crops on poor, sandy soils, itis much more vigorous on good land and grows to a height of 4 to 5feet. It is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, and should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rye, which serves as a support for the plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley. It is the earliest crop for cutting, being neurly a month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and afullcrop can be taken off the land in time for planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, this is the for- age plant to sow in the Northern States where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, though it is equally valuable in the South. Every dairy- man and stock-breeder in the United States should have a field of it, andif you try it once you will never be a season without it. It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover, is eaten with relish, and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. It will also prove valuable for a Hay crop in the South and dry Western regions, as it may be sown in the fall and will make a luxuriant growth during the fall and spring months, and will yield a heavy crop, which may be cut and stored before the droughts setin. Owing to garcity of forage in the section where Sand Vetch is grown, most of the crop was cut for feed, and seed is, in conse- quence, very scarce and high in price this year. Sow one bushel per acre, with one-half bushel of Rye or Wheat. (See cut.) 15c. lb., $7.25 bushelof 60 Ilbs., 100 lbs, $12.00. If by mail, add 8c. per lb. SORGHUM.

LL lovers of Carnations have reason to be grateful for the introduction of this wonderfully improved strain. The flowers often measure 3 inches across, and are usually as double as double can be. The variety of coloris also much greater in this strain. There are white, blush, deep pink, salmon, carmine, scarlet, dark crimson, maroon, and many beautifully variegated flowers. There are picotee-edged, spotted, striped, tinted, etc., etc. Most of them have beauti- fully fringed petals, and are delightfully fragrant. they commence to flower in about twelve weeks’ time from seed. Seeds sown in the spring will produce luxuriant plants that will be continually full of, bloom from August until killed by severe frosts. If desired, the plants can be potted in the autumn, and they will continue to bloom profusely in the house through the winter, or seeds may be sown during the summer for the best winter-flowering plants. Too much cannot be said in praise of these magnificent Carnations. They were originally pro- duced by crossing the large-flowering annual garden Pinks with the Carnation proper, retaining the characteristic flowers, clove fragrance and foliage of the latter with the desirable merits of blooming quickly and profusely from seed and the bushy, luxuriant growth of the former.

The flowers are extraordinarily large and are borne on strong stems well above the foliage; they are nearly all five blotched on the *‘odier”’ pattern, and contain rich combinations of coloring, including some new tints and blendings not met with in other pansies.

These are great improvements over the charming time-honored inhabitant of old-fash- ioned gardens. The flowers of this new type are much larger, are borne more profusely on shorter, stiff stems; this erect habit and the dense mat of ‘‘grass”’ or foliage shields the flowers from mud-splashing, which so disfigured the long-stemmed nodding flowers of the old pinks in wet weather. In these new pinks we havealarge variety of colorsand markings; the color of course refers to the centre of the flower, the remainder being white or blush, with a band ofcolor near the margin; the colors include blood-red, rose, maroon, purple, pink, blush, spotted, laced, variegated, etc. They are excellent perennial garden plants, about one foot high when in bloom; they are vigorous, very hardy, and flower profusely during spring and early summer; the flowers are very large, very double, beautifully fringed, and emit a grateful clove-like per- fume; for bouquets they area boon.

I have never seen anything so fine in my ex- perience of twenty years. I would not take $60.00 for the 60 double plants.” —H. H. Hunrress, Manchester, N. H. “Last year I got seeds of your Giant Pe- tunias. Someofthe flowers measured 6 inches across, and were the admiration and wonder of our little city.”’ —D. Fixson, Steubenville, Ohio. ‘“‘My Giant Petunias from you were marvel- ously beautiful, they were such a wonder and delight to all my friends.” —Mrs. M. Leauy, Cohocton, N. Y. “By far the most remarkable Petunias that have blossomed in this region must be those raised by Mr. E..J. Thrall ofthis city. Except for their greater delicacy and beauty, and greater variety ofcolors,they might be mistak- en for hollyhocks.

HENDERSON’S surekor OWEET PEAS. + F— VERY lover of Sweet Peas has no doubt heard of the world’s Sweet Pea Conven- tion and Show, held in the magnificent Crystal Palace, London, the past sum- mer. Theobject wasnot only to celebrate the bicentenary of the Sweet Pea, but to select the best varieties, whether old or new, from the hundreds now offered to the gardening world, discard inferior sorts of similar color and renamed duplicates. One of our firm went to London especially to participate in this convention, which, as a celebration and show, was an unqualified success, every known variety of Sweet Pea being displayedin best form. We there made a very careful study of the merits of all, which, combined with our experience of their actions when grown under American skies, enables us herewith to offer, we think, the best selection of Sweet Peas ever gotten together, comprising all colors and shades, latest introduc- tions and older varieties of merit, without duplicating any sorts closely similar. If the primitive varieties were such favorites in the old-fashioned garden, is it to be wondered at, with the wonderfully improved sorts of the present time, with in- creased size, better shape, greater quantity of bloom, with three or four flowers borne on a stem, and with lovely new colors, that Sweet Peas are now enjoying unprecedented popularity ?

The habit of the plant is robust, producing vigorous shoots in abundance, branches straight and of good size; the bark is reddish brown, making a charming contrast for the vivid green foliage. The coloring of the flowers is very rich, the buds are conical, a marvelously rich shade of chrome yel- low with a glint of coppery rose in the centre. The expanded flower is full, large and globular, the centre petals being well incurved, forming a perfectly double bloom. The coloring in the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, Turneresque in its blend- ing of reddish gold, orange-yellow, nasturtium red and opaline pink. Words are inadequate to fittingly describe the almost riot- ous luxury of-rich, warm color contained in each bud and open flower. Pages could be filled without doing justice to this peerless. variety. A Hardy Yellow Rose, one that is really hardy in the North in this country, has been the goal for which the world’s best hybridizers have been striving for years. Thousands of seedlings have been obtained in which the blood of the Persian Yellow was present, but none was of sufficient merit to offer, when at a bound this perfect variety appears upon the stage amid the enthusiastic applause of all who have seen it.. Already six first-class prizes have been awarded to it, one at Paris last summer, and its career has hardly yet begun. Considering the great merit of this variety and its scarcity, we are able to offer it very low.

ALL FINE BEDDING VARIETIES, SUN-PROOF AND GORGEOQUS.——— The Colored Plate opposite is a Reproduction of a sketch from nature, and while a faithful representation yet fails to reach the dazzling colors of the flowers themselves. It is many years ago since we last published a colored plate with our annual catalogue showing Geraniums. During the years that have elapsed the race has been marvelously developed. The French hybridists, notably Bruant, have devoted themselves to improving varieties in color and form, with a special view to obtaining sorts that would stand the summer sun and heat without injury. How well they have succeeded the magnificent varieties herewith shown attest. And yet these are only florets. The glory is in the plant crowned with splendid trusses of these fine flowers. The collection was winnowed from over two hundred and fifty sorts which we had on trial, and we can confidently offer it as unquestionably the best for all purposes possible to get at the present time.

We have given a distinct, and, we believe, an appropriate title to them. They are dwarf in habit, very free blooming, especially suited for growing in pots, and must command attention from all flower lovers. They are not unlike Gloxinias in their markings. To still further emphasize the distinctive name for the class, we have taken the liberty to give the names of birds to the separate varieties instead of the practically meaningless French names given by the raiser.

For all purposes of ornament and decoration, this large crimson-scarlet-flowered Acalypha amply fulfills every requirement. For the plant houses, conservatories or rooms—and under all and every condition where a startling and beautiful effect is needed—nothing can equalit. Its easy culture, freedom of growth and perpetual flowering characters are indispensable recommendations. ; It can be grown on single stems, as bushes, as standards, or trained to almost any shape. For table decoration and for cutting, each jong, brilliant, searlet- erimson inflorescence will prove indispensable; their highly ornamental effect cannot be overestimated. (See cut.)

It will be of ex- ceptional value for edging subtropical beds, as the general style of the plant is such that it har- monizes splendidly with Palms, Dracenas, and especially with Crotons, for it bears full exposure to the sun with splendid results; it also grows in shade.

A new, hardy climber, from Japan, of remarkable beauty. The foliage on the ends of the flowering shoots is of a glistening silvery-white color, giving the whole vine, from a little distance, the appearance of being covered with large white flowers blooming among its bright green leaves. The effect is very marked and beautiful. The flowers, which appear in this latitude about the middle of June, lasting from two to three weeks, are creamy white in color with numerous stamens with bright yellow anthers, and remarkably sweet, resembling the Lily of the Valley in fragrance. (See cut.) Price, 1st size, extra strong vines, 75c. each; 2d size, strong 2-year vines, 60c. each; 3d size, strong 1-year vines, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. AMPELOPSIS; VEITCHIT (Sometimes called “Boston Ivy” and “ Japan Ivy.’’) Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood work with the greatest tenacity.

For covering dead trees, gate posts, bound- ary walls, etc., it has no equal. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in the fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seenata great distance. (See cut.)

The Strawberry plants we offer, being strong, layered plants which were transplanted into cold frames in the fall, if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under proper conditions, give quite a nice lot of fruit the present year, BRANDYWINE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine is al- ready world-famous ; in fact, we doubt if any Strawberry ever be- fore has received such enthusiastic praise over so wide an extent of territory. The berries are of large size, glossy scarlet, very firm, solid and shapely, of delightful aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, and wonderfully productive. (See cut.) BISMARCK. (Midseason.)

It is the first of the extra large varieties to ripen, and although of great size the fruit is rarely ever misshapen. The color is a rich glossy crimson that every one admires, the surface color running well into the flesh, and the quality is far above the average. These plants are superior to untransplanted ‘‘ layers.” McKINLEY. (Midseason.) Conspicuous for its size, shape, color and quality. Shape roundish, inclining to conical, but some- times flattened or cockscombed ; color crimson ; flesh moderately firm, and quality extra good. Plant is vigorous and healthy. MICHIGAN. (Late.)

This new Strawberry is the best berry for large size, good quality and large yield that has ever been offered to the American people, and in these three respects we believe it has no equal. We especially recommend it for the home garden and nearby market. In productiveness it is unsurpassed. In size the berries average extra- ordinarily large; in shape the berries are broadly heart- shaped; color, dark glossy crimson, fairly firm and of excellent quality; plant strong and healthy.

New varieties appear so rapidly and are usually such a slight improvement on the standard sorts that caution is necessary ; but after a trial of this we are so impressed by its great value that we unhesitatingly recommend it. No matter from what standpoint it is judged it will bear the most rigid inspection. The plant is very vigorous, branching naturally, producing an abundance of fruiting canes and an abundance of large, lusciousfruit. It “suckers” but slightly, the roots are strong and branching, penetrating deeply into the soil, a valuable characteristic in dry seasons and loca- tions. The fruit is very large and handsome, intense black with a very high polish and without any hard core, juicy, high-flavored ; of so superior a quality that it is ina class by itself. Those accustomed to the old varieties would scarcely recognize it for a Blackberry. For table use, for canning or for culinary purposes it is equally desirable. Itliterally melts in the mouth.

The inside bein heavily galvanized, it will last for years. . _ The Henderson Water Ballast Roller also has otherimportant merits: As a Jar r diameter lightens the draft, our roller drums, being of cold rolled sheet steel, are anor : inches in diameter (6 ft. cireumference), and are still lighter than cast-iron drums twenty inches gz in diameter; in consequence, the Water Ballast Roller pulls fully twenty per cent. easier than a cast-iron Roller of equal weight, and being in two sections, it handles easily and turns without rubbing the grass. The superiority of our Roller is especially pronounced when rollin moist pliable ground, when rolling is most effective, as the steel drums are smooth and oil not gather soil or grass, and, besides, there is no danger of a stone punching a hole through th }iace, as sometimes happens with cast Rollers. The handle is counterbalanced and atone ecort @ when notin use; the sections fit closely and are practically noiseless; it is a perfect Roller, and does perfect work on lawns, tennis courts, golf grounds, roads, walks, ete, Price, $30.00 ieee HENDERSON'S HORSE-POWER ROLLERS—cessi Number. | Track.

Is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South Bermuda grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the sum- mer months, turning brown in winter. By using this mixture, and with some care and attention, an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained in the Southern States. Price, 35c, qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush. of 20 lbs.

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this mixture there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural state are to befound growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently *‘sour,” and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake. Price, 35c. qt., $2.00-pk., $7.00 bush. of 20 Ibs.

LITTLE, Oberlin, Ohio. a LAWN GRASS. A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, railroad embankments and side hills—grasses that produce strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; that will withstand droughtand exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety green turf through- out the season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into yourlawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong- rooted, the grasses are equally as fine as those used in the ‘‘ Henderson” mixture.

THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED will form a close, thick turf in a few weeks’ time, with no tendency to stool or grow in clumps. Iv roots deeply and withstands severe droughts without turning brown, maintaining its beautiful deep green color throughout the season. We have mad» the formation of permanent lawus a study for years, and the Finest Lawns in this country to-day were obtained by using the -‘Henderson’’ Lawn Grass Seed, which is compose «1 of various grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich, deep green, velve sty lawn is constantly maintained, rivaling the famous lawns of Old England. If people only knew how comparatively easy it is to make a lawn: with the “Henderson” Seed, the diys of using sod, with all the attendant expense, would soon be over. The beautiful lawns at the World’s Fair in Chicago we produced in six weeks’ time with the -‘Henderson”’ Lawn Grass Seed. Not one of the charming features of the Exposition was so universally admired as our ‘‘setting of emerald velvet,” which, long-continued drought of the summer, retained its verdure throughout the entire season. Besides being the only lawn grass seed granted a medal, we exhibited the separate grasses used in the mixture, and received Seven Awards for superior quality and purity of samples. THE -HetNDERSON’’ LAWN GRASS SEBED is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered because, while the lawn grass mixtures o: other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this weighs from 20 to 21 lbs per measured bushel.
