REGARDING PARCEL POST AND EXPRESS

Seeds, Plants, Bulbs and Roots are now admitted to the Parcel Post at Zone rates. As there are eight Zones in the United States, with varying rates, the difficulty of naming in advance a delivered price by mail on heavy Seeds such as Peas, Beans and Corn is apparent, also on Plants, Roots and heavy Bulbs.

The express companies adopted a new set of rates giving a reduction on Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, Roots and Fertilizers so that it is desirable to use the ex- press when possible. For the guidance of our customers we append a table of a few of the leading cities showing the Zones, Parcel Post rates, uninsured, for 20 Ibs., the limit of weight beyond the 2d Zone, and the express rate for the same weight. Asa receipt is obtained for each shipment by express it is prac- tical insurance without extra cost, the insurance by Parcel Post being 5e. per package extra. On shipments weighing more than 20 Ibs. the difference in cost is greater in favor of express. The charge is the same ~ollect or prepaid.

The express companies collect carrying charges without extra cost. The collection of postage by Parcel Post entails additional cost, so we recommend the use of the express wherever possible.

OUR

HE PICTURE on our front cover is the fourth in our

series of gardens of famous Americans. It is a picture of

the home and garden of JOHN HOWARD PAYNE 2nd the source of inspiration of that world-renowned and heari-<tirring American melody "HOME, SWEET HOME.”

We have selected this picture for reproduction, as being peculiarly appropriate at this time, when a great portion of the world is unhappily engaged in fratricidal strife. x

“Columbia, happy land!” exempt from the evils of old-world systems of land tenure, is now, as always, the land of opportu- nity, and has probably more home-owners within its wide domain than the entire continent of Europe.

The love and affection felt for the old homestead and the home, is an éver-recurring theme in American song and story, but it is certain that no other composition so truly expresses that fervent love of home and its surroundings—which char- acterises all Americans—as “HOME, SWEET HOME.”

CATALOGUE COVER

The garden is an integral part of a home, they are insepar- able; one is not complete without the other, and the familiar paths, flower beds. shrubs and trees ot the old home garden, leave impressions on the memory which are never forgotten.

HOME, SWEET HOME, as the house is now called, is situated in East Hampton, Long Island, N. Y., and we reproduce the pictures by permission of Mr. G. H. Buik, its present owner, through whose loving care and intelligent restorative work, this historical land-mark has been preserved to posterity.

On this page we also show some additional views of the house and garden which will prove of interest to our friends, one being an interior showing a portrait of John Howard Payne over the mantel, and the other side a view of the cottage.

On the back cover we present a reproduction in color of a photograph of a hedge of Roses, sent by one of our appreciative friends. The variety is the now well-known Rose, Dr. W. Van Fleet, introduced by us in 1908.

HOME, SWEET HOME—By John Howard Payne Feats

Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may roam,

Be il ever so humble, there’s no place like home;

A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there

Which, seek through the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere.

Home! Hume, sweet, sweet home!

There’s no place like home! There’s no place like home!

Serre

An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain!

Oh! give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again,

The birds singing gaily, that came at my call,

Give me them with the peace of mind dearer than all.

Home! Home, sweet, sweet home!

Henderson’s Sunny South LAWN GRASS SEED

It 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 summer months, turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, and with some care and attention to watering, an all-the-year- round lawn can be maintained in {Southern States where Grasses do not usually thrive.

Henderson’s Shady Nook

LAWN GRASS SEED

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 be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has heen densely shaded by trees is frequently “sour,” and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse Grasse In such cases an application of slaked ‘me, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand sq ere “eet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an excellé corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first r=moved by the use of a sharp rake.

“It affords me pleasure to state that I have been using Shady Nook Lawn Grass for years under magnolia and maple trees, which make a dense shade, with great success. I put on a fresh supply of seed vach year, then fertilize.”

Mrs. J. H. McFERRIN, Collierville, Tenn.

“On July 15th we seeded many bare spots under the large trees with your Shady Nook Grass seed. Now in thirty-five days of midsummer, the spots are closely covered with beautiful green grass, greaily admired by all.

D. E. HOWATT, Forest Hill, Cleveland, Ohio.

Henderson’s Terrace Sod LAWN GRASS SEED

A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on ter- races, embankments and hillsides; Grasses that produce long, strong, spreading roots, thus preventing heavy.rains from wash- ing them out; that will withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety-green turf throughout the season. There need be no

fear of introducing coarse Grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixture, for, though strong-rooted, the Grasses are equally as fine-leavyed as those used in the ““Henderson Lawn Grass”’ mixture.

Price, delivered free in the U. S., 35 cts. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bu. of 20 lbs.

When Golf first became a popular game in this country and courses were laid out, it was soon found that many Grasses used with good results on European j% courses would not thrive in the climate of § the United States.

We then made exhaustive experiments with every known variety of Grass in our trial grounds at Jersey City, N. J.,and we also sent samples to various sections of the country for trial and report. As a result of these experiences we made up our now well-known mixtures—HEND- ERSON’S GOLF COURSE GRASS SEED MIXTURES both for Putting Greens and Fair Greens. They are un- doubtedly the best for the AMERICAN CLIMATE and AMERICAN CONDI- TIONS, being composed principally of native Grasses, mingled with a tew im- ported varieties. Many of the finest courses in America today were laid down with these mixtures, and with proper care the finest Putting Greens and Fair Greens in the world can be successfully rivaled. Henderson’s Golf Course mix- tures are made up to suit the grounds and soil to be seeded, low and wet, high and dry, sandy or clayey, as the case may be, and a description of the soil and notes on climate and the Jay of the land should be sent when ordering.

Henderson’s ‘Tough Turf’’ Grass Seed is a blend of Grasses especially suited for the making of Grass Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, etc. The turf required for outdoor sports must be closely inter- woven, firm, elastic, smooth, and durable to stand the wear and tear. These requirements are met in Henderson’s “Tough Turf’ Mixture, which is composed of fibrous, deep-rooting Grasses that spread and intermingle. The seeds are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough, matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varie- ties of Grasses, being low-growing and fine-leaved, require to be sown liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be used for 300 square feet, or five bushels per acre, although fifty per cent. more may be used with advantage; half that quantity will do for renovating.

Price, delivered free in the U. S., 30 cts. qt., $1.00 for 4. qts., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bu. of 20 Ibs.

“T have a lawn of your beautiful Tough Turf Grass Seed Mizture that attracts the attention of every passerby. It is indeed a beauty.”’ L. A RICHARDSON, Marine, Ill.

WARNING—The best of seed is necessary for use on all grounds devoted to sport. Years of experience have shown us that the best results are obtained in the AMERICAN CLIMATE, and under AMERICAN CONDITIONS by sowing chiefly AMERICAN-GROWN SEEDS.

We deal only in the highest grades and before offering this seed lo our cus- tomers for sale, it is thoroughly recleaned by the most modern seed-cleaning

machinery in America. These are not ordinary fanning mills, but machines with an even and strong air suction—equal at all points—which is quile a different thing from a blast. By this process we are enabled to eliminate the rubbish, and light, imperfect seeds, leaving only sound, perfect seeds.

The Most Beautiful Lawns in America

ARE MADE WITH THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED

IIS celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested by country-wide use for more than half a century. |

IT IS THE FRUIT OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND CLOSE STUDY OF AMERICAN CONDITIONS AND IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST FOR THE AMERICAN CLIMATE. By its use a deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps. can be produced in from four to six weeks’ time.

The “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently arranged combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses, which are at their best during different months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly covered with enduring green. It is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowing seeds of a single variety, which will only grow vigorously for a portion ‘of the year. Kentucky : Blue Grass for instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns. grows but sparsely during midsummer, is slow to form a /# close ee requiring two years to do that, and loses color in hot weather. ’

ESIDES its country-wide use on the home grounds of. the people, the ‘ Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed has invariably been chosen to produce lawns at many of the most famous in- stitutions in the country. We illustrate on this page the Parade Grounds at the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., where the ‘‘Hender- son” Lawn Grass Seed has been used for a number of years. The refreshing green and the close turf which attract the attention of the hundreds of thousands who annually visit the baseball grounds in this country, par- ticularly the Polo Grounds in New York and Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, :were produced with the ‘Henderson’?

The Best Early and Late Sweet Corns

METROPOLITAN and COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

To get the first crop of really good Corn, one must grow Metropolitan To be sure of the best quality at the last Country Gentleman is indispensable

HENDERSON’S

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN

Plump, Pearly-White, Milky Kernels. Retaining its Delicate Tenderness even when a little old. Very Productive, the ear is nearly all Corn. °

When we first placed this Corn before the public in 1891, it created a great furore among Corn lovers—and who is there in America who does not enjoy ‘green Corn on the cob’’? These first impressions have been fully justified by later experiences, and the Country Gentleman Corn has become justly famous all over the United States and in some foreign ae : ne countries as well. It is at once the delight of the epicure and a luxury within the reach of every- | body. As will be noticed in the cut, the kernels are perfectly round at the end, but of extra- _{ ordinary depth, the cob being extremely small; | nothing in fact but a core. } It is of nectar-like sweetness, luscious, tender ' and milky, and remains “‘in the milk”’ longer than ; | other Sweet Corn. The ears measure 8 to 9 } inches in length, and the plant is very prolific, | often producing three ears to a stalk. It is a | slow-maturing variety and arrives at full perfec- tion just in time to succeed the earlier varieties. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.

The Most Delicious Sweet Corn Grown

4 Mr. Thomas M. Whyte, buyer of the stores for the Hotel Knickerbocker, one of New York's palatial! hotels, says, ‘I have found no green Corn so satisfactory as the Country Gentleman. It is sweet and juicy, free from worms or blemish. It will not be in market before early August and then New York will begin.feast- ing on the most delicious of Sweet Corn, the Country Gentleman.’"— WN. Y. Evening Mail, July 24, 1913.

§ “I have planted your Country Gentleman Sweet Corn

for 20 years, and there never was a better.”

HENDERSON’S

METROPOLITAN

SWEET CORN FOR VERY EARLY

The Best, the Largest, the Sweetest and the Biggest Yielder of all Early Sweet Corns

There has never been any one variety of Corn | beside Metropolitan that combined the essential 4 | features of earliness, productiveness and good } flavor in a satisfactory degree. In these important | characteristics, Metropolitan certainly outclasses Hany other variety. It is very little later than | Cory, which has been the most popular early sort. i The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 5% feet in height. The leaves are numerous, narrow and very dark green in color. The ears are from 8 to 9 ‘inches long and all set low. They are 10 to 12-rowed, well filled to the tip with large deep grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses that ex- quisite richness so well known in the larger and later sorts. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.

TWO GOLDEN SWEET CORNS: Henderson’s GOLDEN ROD Sweet Corn

A Perfect Yellow Sweet Corn of. Liberal Size. Delicious Golden Grains of Pleasing Flavor.

It is worthy of note that the varieties of Sweet Corn possessing the finest flavor are those that differ radically either in form or color from the ordinary sorts. Thus, Black Mexican and the vellow varieties show a strongly marked divergence from type in the matter of color, and Country Gentleman an equally marked divergence in form, and these varieties excel all others in sweetness and flavor.

Twenty-five years ago we discarded from our catalogues a yellow seeded Sweet Corn on account of its small size and lack of flavor, and for many years yellow Sweet Corn was practically unknown. In fact when the existing varieties were introduced it was hard to convince the public of their value, but as every one who tasted them became enthusiastic in publishing their praise, they soon came into favor. f

Golden Rod is the result of a cross between Stowell’s Evergreen and Golden Bantam, and proves to be a happy and complete blending of each sort. The ear is none too small, nor is it large and bulky, but just large enough for ordinary consumption. The plants are 6 to 7 feet high, strong, profusely leaved, and bear on each stalk, at a con- venient height, two ears lavishly packed with delicious golden grains of appetizing flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c..pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.

“*Last year I sent a small order including Golden Rod Corn to try as a novelty. It was planted in my garden at Tyrone, N. C., and proved very fine indeed. Because of its success I believe you will receive an order from one of my neighbors.” MISS MARY G, BEACH, Terre Haute, Ind.

‘* Regarding your Golden Rod Corn, would state that it was a very hard matter to induce my man to give it a trial last year. Now he is convinced that it is far ahead of any other kind, and insists on having it, therefore, I have doubled my order.” GEORGE A. HISKEY, So. Bethlehem, Pa.

“I brought in from my garden one morning two ears of the Golden Rod Sweet Corn. Each ear was

over 10 inches in length, full to the tip, and without a blemish.” F. O. DICKINSON, St. Elmo, Tenn.

GOLDEN BANTAM SWEET CORN

A Gem for the Small Garden. A Small Ear of Remarkable Quality.

ONE OF THE SWEETEST CORNS GROWN

Golden Bantam is a dwarf medium early variety of exceptionally good quality and reliability. It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular varieties in our list. While

the individual plant and ear are small, it may be planted so much closer than the larger- eared sorts, so that the net product from a

given area is about the same as of ordinary sorts. The plant is about 5 feet high, medium early, but of exceptionally good quality. In all respects it is a gem—in size of plant, ear and grain. It is particu- larly well adapted to small gardens, on account of its small size; to the more pre- tentious garden on account of its exces- sive cropping ability on a given area, and to all because of its superb quality and delicious, satisfying

HENDERSON'S Astor Sweet Corn Matures Quickly—Tender and Extremely Sweet

Briefly, this is a smaller and earlier strain of White Cob Corn. The plant is from 4 to 5 feet high; sturdy in habit and bearing two ears set 18 inches from the ground. These have from eight to twelve rows of creamy-white grains, arranged in rows so compactly set together that the objectionable space between the rows so character- istic of inferior varieties is entirely eliminated. It has also a capacious husk, which effectually covers every . portion of the ear, thus preserving its creamy color per- fectly. The whole ear is of a size admirably suited for private use—sufficient in quantity, but not too large for the daintiest table. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.

Henderson’s “CONTINUITY” Collection OF THE FIVE FOLLOW- SWEET COR SHOWN ON

ING VARIETIES OF THIS PAGE These collections are made up of 5 varieties to supply the home table continu- ously throughout the season with tender, milky and delicious Sweet Corn. They are numbered to indicate their respective seasons of maturing. The selection is made primarily for quality and may be perfectly relied on not only in this respect,

but also as regards its continuity. The entire collection should be planted at

one time, otherwise the succession will be broken. These collections are put up in three sizes—packet, pint and quart, and will be found of great convenience, especially to those unfamiliar with varieties.

PLANT FOR EXTRA EARLY SWEET CORN

HENDERSON’S POCAHONTAS — (No.1)

Pocahontas was obtained by the careful, painstaking effort of a New York truck gardener to whom earliness meant all, and his work was eminently successful. The plant is of dwarf habit and very robust. The ears are of good size and are always well filled, having no gaps between the rows—a common fault of many early sorts. The flavor is excellent for so early a variety. While we recommend it primarily asa first early sort, it has been found to have great value for the latest crops, as it may be planted in this vicinity as late as July 15th, thus prolonging the season for Sweet Corn to its utmost length. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.

PLANT FOR EARLY SWEET CORN

EARLY CHAMPION (No. 2)

An old and thoroughly tested variety. We include it in this collection because it is particularly well adapted to continue the line of succession from the earlier sorts. It is admirably adapted to private use in every respect, producing liberal sized ears at a comparatively early season, excellent in quality, and a safe and sure cropper. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.

PLANT FOR MEDIUM EARLY SWEET CORN

HENDERSON’S HIAWATHA — (No.3)

Earliness, productiveness and delicious quality are the pronounced merits of Hiawatha Sweet Corn. The ears, about 8 inches long, are compactly filled with long, plump, pearly-white kernels, lusciously tender, creamy and sweet. Another valuable feature is the length of time the ears remain ‘‘in the milk,” the thick husk giving splendid protection. The plant grows about 5 feet high, bearing, no less than two ears to a stalk, very uniform in shape and size. It is ready to use in from nine to ten weeks from planting, and can be confidently recommended as a perfect Sweet Corn for the home table. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.

HENDERSON’S

Big Boston Lettuce

A GRAND LARGE CABBAGE LETTUCE Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp, Creamy-White Heads

This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, has proved to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is now more extensively grown than any other kind of Lettuce, either for the private table or for sale, North, South, East or West; whether grown in the open ground for early summer and fall use, in frames for spring, or forced cool in.greenhouses for winter use. It invariably gives both grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily favorable conditions, splendid, large, creamy-white heads, packed with thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender and sweet, delighting both the palate and the eye. This grand variety makes a handsome plant, with but few outside leaves, and stands long before bolting to seed. Big Boston is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it succeeds at all seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly adapted for late fall culture. Large areas of it may be seen in the Vicinity of New York as late as Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt marsh hay amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when cut for market ‘are as fresh, bright and untinged as at any season. Thousands of acres of it are grown during the winter in Florida and other Southern States for shipping to Northern markets; in every state it is wonderfully popular; in fact, we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfaction under such varying conditions.

HENDERSON’S PERFECTED

Salamander Lettuce A SPLENDID SUMMER VARIETY

Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head well during hot weather. If the instructions given in our pamphlet on “ Let- tuce Culture’’ are followed, success is assured with Salamander. It will grow equally well as an earlier crop, but is excelled by others for fall use. It forms a good sized, compact head, creamy-white in color, and has all the rich flavor of the ‘“‘butter’’ Lettuce. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 80c. 14 Ib., $2.50 Ib.

“Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce and must say it was most salisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in June.”

HENDERSON’S

Grand Rapids Lettuce

THE GREAT LETTUCE OF THE GREAT WEST INDOORS OR OUT THE EASIEST OF ALL TO GROW

This is probably the best of the loose-leaved varieties. It forms no head, but produces an abundant crop of pale green leaves, slightly but closely crumpled, which, even when old, retain their characteristic sweetness and brittle character. In this respect it excels many of the best heading varieties. Moreover, the flavor even of the outside leaves is fully equal to that of the heart leaves of many head- ing varieties.

In the Middle West, and in many other sections, it is extremely popular. We strongly urge those who cannot succeed in getting Lettuce to head to grow Grand Rapids. The plant may be cut whole, or the outside leaves may be removed, leaving the younger ones to grow. The lower leaves grow clear of the ground so that it rarely suffers from rot, and is therefore more largely grown for forcing than any other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. 0z., 55c. 14 1b., $1.75 Ib.

NORTH rivals SOUTH with COLE’S EARLY

PRODUCES LUSCIOUS MELONS WHERE NONE GREW BEFORE SUREST IN CROP PRODUCTION

QUALITY EQUAL TO THE BEST

This is the easiest to grow of all the. Watermelons. If you have failed with other sorts you can succeed with Cole’s Early. It is the best variety for the family garden, primarily so on account of its extreme earliness, but mainly because it has all the qualities necessary to a perfect variety for this purpose. Its remarkably early character entirely removes the most common hindrance to its cultivation. As far north as Canada and in places where | . Watermelons never grew before, Cole’s Early is now supplying } the tables of those who grow it, just as bountifully and with just as good Melons as in the sunny regions of the South.

It is good in every respect, producing a liberal crop of Melons twelve inches long and nine inches in diameter, not large, but in abundance and of delicious quality. The deep red, fine grained flesh ripens from heart to rind, while its rich color and luscious flavor are tempting to the most exacting and critical taste. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 35c. 14 Ib., $1.00 Ib.

“T planted a package of your Cole’s Early Watermelon seed last year and I raised about 15 of them. I got some big ones and the quality of all of them was fine. Everbody in town had a small piece.”

Henderson's SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN

The white thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom ts analogous 1o the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accomplished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for. a

HENDERSON’S SELECTED VARIETIES OF

MUSK MELON or Cantaloupe

(ILLUSTRATED ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE)

——_

HENDERSON’S

SWEETMEAT MUSK MELON This Melon Has Phenomenally Thick Flesh, Remarkable Beauty of Netting, and

Delicate Lasting Flavor

The most exacting will be satisfied by the delicious quality of Sweetmeat Musk Melon, while its appeararce exhibits all the re- finement of form, color, and netting so necessary to a good Melon.

In appearance it is very similar to the rounder types of Rocky Ford. The netting is bold and well defined, which adds greatly to its appearance. ‘The general color is soft russet-green. The ribs are faintly lined with a lighter shade and slightly depressed, giving an even surface to the fruit, which greatly enhances its appearance. It is about 5 inches in diameter, weighing about 214 lbs.

The shape is round, somewhat flattened. Its remarkably deep flesh, combined with the smallest possible seed cavity, give it the maximum of luscious flesh of fine texture. This merges into a pleas- ing salmon shade at the inner edge, and it possesses all the luscious flavor of the very best varieties. (See engraving on opposite page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 25c., 50c. oz., $1.50 14 Ib.

HENDERSON’S KARLY HACKENSACK MUSK MELON

A large green-fleshed variety, round, slightly flattened from the stem to the blossom end, very deeply and broadly ribbed, with bold, strongly defined netting. The flesh is very thick, rich in appearance and beautiful in flavor. This type of Melon (once almost entirely superseded by the oval-shaped sorts) is rapidly coming into favor again.

It is a selection which we originated from the famous Hackensack many years ago, and is well worthy of more extensive cultivation. ‘The fruits are not so large as the older sort, but weigh from 5 to 6 Ibs. each. It is fit for use immediately after the very early sorts. Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 40c. 14 Ib., $1.25 Ib.

““T have been using your Early Hackensack Melon seed for the past four years

with excellent results.’” JOHN H. CALDWELL, Newburgh, N. Y.

HENDERSON'S “THOROUGHBRED” ROCKY FORD MUSK MELON

Some years ago a number of enterprising growers conceived the idea of growing Musk Melons for the Eastern markets in the region of Rocky Ford, Colo., using the variety Netted Gem. Their success was complete, for they have not only supplied the East with partic- ularly good Melons just as the local supply declined but have so improved the original that the strain has been named ‘‘ Rocky Ford.”

The newer type is more rounded, the rib less prominent, and the outer surface of the fruit densely covered with delicate lace-like netting. The quality and rich aromatic flavor have also been greatly improved. The flesh is green, with a suggestion of pink at the seed cavity, which is peculiarly attractive. It is beautiful in appearance, delightful in flavor, and a general favorite with all. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 0z., 30c. 14 Ib., $1.00 lb. (See engraving on opposite page.)

““The Rocky Ford Melons were most delicious and remarkably productive.”

E. H. PLATT, Watervliet, N. Y.

HENDERSON’S MELTING SUGAR MUSK MELON

A boon to those who esteem quality primarily in a Musk Melon.

The fruits exhibit remarkable uniformity. They are 7 to 8 inches in length, and 4 to.5 inches in diameter. The netting is intricate and evenly distributed, which, contrasting with the rich olive-green ground color of the skin, produces a pleasing harmony in color. The ribs are shallow, and at maturity develop a lighter shade of green.

It is extremely prolific, and constantly so, and may be relied on to produce a satisfactory crop under normal conditions.

The flesh, while quite firm, has the pleasing quality of losing substance when eaten, so aptly described as melting. The flesh is so deep that the seed cavity is reduced to the smallest possible space; it is of a pleasing rich green color, fading to a well defined salmon shade towards the center.

The quality is superb. It is not merely sweet, but possesses that rich aromatic flavor known only in the best sorts. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 02z., $1.00 14 Ib. (See engraving on opposite page.)

“T had one vine of Melting Sugar Musk Melon that gave me a second crop. Flavor delicious. EDWARD C. SHERMAN, Moriches, L. I.

“T wish to say that the Melting Sugar Musk Melons are the finest I have

ever eaten.”’ W.M. HUNT, La Jolla, Cal.

The ‘Henderson’? Bush Musk Melon

SHORT, VIGOROUS VINES. THE GEM OF THE SMALL GARDEN. A BUSH JENNY LIND

Radically different from any existing kind. The bush character is attained by a shortening of the stem between the joints.

There are

just as many leaves on the plant as on other kinds, but these grow so compactly that the plant can be grown on one-half the space usually required. Notwithstanding its radical departure from existing types it is by no means a freak; its freedom from variation has been

too constant over the entire time of our observance of it.

The fruit is small, but fully equal in quality to the old and justly esteemed Jenny Lind, which is probably the best flavored of all

green-fleshed sorts. They are produced in abundance, in fact we advise that each plant be allowed to ripen only about one-half of the fruit, as it is apt to bear too many.

It delights in a rich, preferably sandy, well manured soil, and responds favorably to frequent applications of water during drought. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 25c., 50c. 0z.; $1.50 14 Ib.

“* Henderson's Bush Musk Melons are very fine. The drought killed all my vine Musk Melons, but I did not lose a single one of the Bush variety. They averaged nine fruits to a hill of two and three plants. The quality cannot be beaten, there are none sweeter, and the plants are healthy and vigorous. i suggest that you emphasize their drought-resisting qualities, which are great.”’ Se

LEO ZIETEN, Weimar, Texas.

“T think your Bush Musk Melons are great. I grew them last summer, and although there was not a drop of rain for 52 days during the growing season, they «matured some fine Melons, about 5 inches across, deliciously sweet-flavored.”’

- GEORGE SIDAY, Sylvania, Ga.

“Tt may interest you to know that the Henderson Bush Musk Melon does excellently well in this part of the country. They proved superior to the Rocky Ford in my garden.” i g 3

Henderson’s Connecticut Grown Seed Notwithstanding the fact that seed of the Southport Globe Onions is largely grown in California and sold at a lower price, we do not use it, as the crops grown from that seed are uniformly inferior in color, form and size. Not only in the U.S. but throughout the world our Connecticut grown Southport Globe Onions are acknowledged superior to any. Many of the most exacting specialists in Europe send tous annually for these stocks, frankly conceding their superiority.

Henderson’s Southport Red Globe Onion

A most attractive variety of medium size, growing under ordinary conditions to a diameter of three inches. The outer skin is A rich purplish-red, and the flesh is faintly tinged with the same color. It is a little stronger than the white and yellow, and preferred by many for this reason. (See engraving.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 75c. 14 1b., $2.50 Ib.

Henderson’s Southport Yellow Globe Onion

The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color of which is generally esteemed. This color does not extend to the flesh, as in the red. It is mild in flavor and may be grown by any one where Onions will grow, and is probably the best of all for general use. (See engraving.) (Connecticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 0z., $1.10 14 Ib., $4.00 Ib.

“Your Southport Yellow Globe Onions were the largest and best ever seen in this section. Commission men thought they were Prizetakers in size.”

WM. F. McCLOUD, Pueblo, Colo.

Southport Globe Onions

PERFECT KEEPERS. DELICIOUS IN FLAVOR Perfect Globe-Shape. Large, Heavy and Solid

There are.no Onions to compare with the famous Connecticut product, long known as the Southport Globe Onions. They have been grown by the same families over a long period of years. One of our growers has supplied us with the same identical strains for over forty years.

In every respect they are excellent. The young plants provide delicious salad in spring. They may be used boiled or raw before maturity, or cured and kept through the winter and until the new crop is ready, thus supplying the table the year round. with a whole- some, health-giving food.

The most severe test of an Onion is that which affects its keeping quality. In this respect the Southport Globe Onions are supreme. Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had to pass the critical eye of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect on these, and they are today, beyond doubt, the best of all Onions.

The difference in the respective sorts is mainly one of color. They have the same shape, which is almost oval, excepting that they are somewhat larger towards the base, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, when dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetrical bulb, shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid of neck, the presence of which not only mars the appearance, but is a serious menace to the keeping quality.

Henderson’s Southport White Globe Onion

Viewed from every standpoint this is perhaps the best Onion of all for family use, for, while it is similar in some respects to the other Southport Globes, it is more attractive in appearance. The flesh when cooked is of a rich milky color, tender and of delicious flavor, and when eaten raw is the mildest of the three. (See engraving.) (Con- necticut grown seed.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.30 14 Ib., $5.00 Ib.

Ailsa Craig Onion

This is one of the largest of the British sorts, and is used very extensively in private gardens both for ordinary use and for exhibition — purposes. European Onions do not, as a rule, grow well in America until thoroughly acclimated. This variety has proved to be an excep- tion, and has done well since its first appearance here. Grown from seed raised under our supervision, it has become one of the largest and most useful Onions. Gardeners frequently bring us very large speci- mens, grown for exhibition, five inches in diameter, and weighing two pounds apiece. 5

The skin is dark straw color, the flesh pure white, very mild in flavor, and always quite tender.

We do not advise its use for keeping. Our Globe varieties and | Prizetaker are better. Price, 25c. pkt., 60c. 0z., $2.00 14 Ib.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR

Yellow Globe Danvers

Onion

Attractive, Uniform Shape Mild, But Full Flavored Quick to Mature Remarkably Good Keeper

This is one of the oldest American varieties, which takes its name from the town near which it was first grown, and has always been a general favorite. Its keeping quality is supreme- ly good. With this exception it cannot be said to excel greatly in any one particular, but it is so constantly good in all re- spects, that it is fully equal to any, and is esteemed by many as the one best all around Onion, so that the majority of those who grow only one sort choose Yellow Globe Danvers. There is a considerable variation in the shape of this variety as offered by various houses—shapes that vary from flat to deep oval. We have consistently adhered to the original type, which, but for a slight depression from top to bottom, is a perfect sphere. The matter of tops has had close attention, and are so bred that at maturity they disappear entirely, leaving the bulbs quite without neck, clean, solid and good throughout. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. 14 Ib., $3.00 Ib.

White Beehive or Silver Skin Onion

This is beyond doubt the very best Onion for general use during the spring, summer and autumn. We do not esteem it so highly for winter use, as it is excelled by other scrts for keeping purposes. But it is so excellent in every other respect that we urge every gardener to make a liberal sowing of White Portugal for continuous use, leaving the crops in- tended for keeping purposes intact. There are none that yield more delicious ‘‘scallions,’”’ or young plants for salad purposes, none which are more suited to boiling during the growing season, and none so generally esteemed for their mild, delightful flavor. Should there be any small bulbs left in the row at the end of the season they may be used for pickles. Always, under all conditions, it is appetizing and wholesome. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 0z., 85c. 14 Ib., $3.00 Ib.

Henderson’s Superior Onion Sets

In private gardens, the cultivation of the family supply of Onions from sets has much to recommend it. The amount of labor involved is less, the danger of loss from maggots and other insects is considerably reduced, the crop is surer to grow, and is ready for use weeks in advance of that grown from seed. Ona small scale where the cost of sets is not a serious item, we urge customers to use them. In fact the ideal way is to use both sets and seed—the sets for use in the spring and summer, and seed to grow bulbs for winter keeping. We offer sets of the three standard varieties mentioned below, the descriptions of which will be found on page 39 of this catalogue.

THE FAMOUS

Prizetaker Onion

Magnificent in Size Delightfully Mild in Flavor A Matchless Keeper

Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all American Onions, and isrenowned everywhere. Itis grown with great success in all sections of the country, and is one of the few vegetables that attain great size, and still retain perfect quality.

It grows as easily as any other sort, and can be used for all purposes—the young plants as salad; the half grown bulbs in early summer; and the perfect, mature Onion practically at all times, for it keeps so well that it may be used almost the year round.

It is esteemed not only in America, but in Europe. Soon after its introduction, it was exhibited in London, and in the keenest competition with the products of the most -skilful growers, earned an “Award of Merit’’ from the Royal Horti- cultural Society of England.

Not only does it grow to a large size, but uniformly so. The shape is true globe, broad at the base, tapering sharply at the top. 2

It is so well bred that the tops dry down entirely when it ripens, leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color, and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the flesh pure white throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, very much esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling, in fact, in whatever way it is prepared, it is unsurpassed. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 75c. 14 Ib., $2.50 Ib.

““Last year I raised eight bushels of fine Prizetaker Onions on twelve rows of twenty-five feet. They were a pretty sight in the row." F. H. YORKE, M.D., Foosland, Ill.

““The Prizetaker and Yellow Globe Danvers Onions I grew from your seed took first prize at Conner County Fair.” Mrs. THOMAS JUDGE, Clarke Fork. Idaho.

““T had some Prizetaker Onions from the seed I bought from you last year at a contest on the 16th of March which took first prize." S. J. MORGAN, Alger, Ohio.

HENDERSON’S

FIRST OF ALL PEA

Beyond All Question the Earliest Pea Grown

The extreme earliness of First of All em- phatically distinguishes it from all others. For forty years it has produced the earliest crop of this delicious vegetable, and is still doing so.

While it lacks the ‘‘marrow’’ flavor of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness peculiar to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by many. Anyway, First of All may be eaten and the crop removed while other sorts are matur- ing, for it has been so closely bred to produce its crop on time, that quite often the entire crop may be removed at one picking. The slim, 3-foot vines permit close planting; its hardi- ness enables it to be planted as soon as frost leaves the ground. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.

“T picked my first Peas from Henderson’s First of All the last day of May and had them plowed up and late cabbage put in before anyone around had a Pea. It was the heaviest yield I ever saw.”’

B. F. CROSTIE, Harvard, Til.

July 30th, 1915. >», “Last year I tried your First

of All Pea alongside two other early varieties, and yours was just eight

days ahead.”’ A.I. B. COUTTS, Care of Arthur F. White, Whitins- ville, Mass. Jan. 18th, 1915.

NOT TS EXCELSIOR PEA

Early, Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality

A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous constitu- tion; enormously productive, and generally excellent. The pods are of good size, produced liberally, and are extremely well filled with excellent Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 inches in height, and is easily grown. It still i is, and long will be, extremely popular. Many people who have only small gardens use this sort exclusively, making repeated sowings for successive crops. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.30 for 4 qts., $2.50 peck.

THOMAS LAXTON PEA

An extra early wrinkled ‘‘marrow”’ of excellent quality, and a valuable addition to the very early varieties. It is 3 feet high, and somewhat more-vigorous in habit than Prosperity. The pods are medium to large, blunt ended and filled’to the tip with large Peas of true, rich, ‘‘marrow”’ flavor. Its strong vine and heavy cropping character make it very suitable for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used to great advantage as an immediate successor to Prosperity. If sown together, Thomas Laxton will be in full production just as the crop of Prosperity is diminish- ing. PS | 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 55c. qt., $2.00 for 4 qts., $3.50 peck.

JUNO PEA

; Ideal for Main Crop, Resists Heat Perfectly

For strong, healthy vines, uniformity to type and reliability in cropping, Juno stands alone among the main crop sorts. The foliage is very dark green, a sure indication of vigor. The plant is-2'% feet high, heavily branched; so robust that it needs but little support, and so resistant to heat, that it stands our summers better than any other. It is a sure and heavy cropper. The pods are medium in size, but remarkably well filled with large Peas of perfect flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., ae. 00 peck. |

os CHELSEA PEA

Bears an Enormous Crop of Pods Full of Delicious Peas A very distinct dwarf variety, producing an enormous number of small, but well-filled pods. The plant is 15 inches high, and produces its crop very early in the season. The pods are slim, but long, slightly curved, and literally filled with Peas, surprisingly large for ’so slim a ped: It is of excellent quality, and justly a favorite with all’ who grow it. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $1.60 for 4 qts., $3.00 peck.

ADVANCER PEA.

; Wonderfully Prolific, Exceptionally Good. Flavor

Many claim that Advancer is equal in flavor to Champion of England; indeed it is sometimes named Dwarf Champion. The plant is 2% feet high, extremely vigorous and is noted particularly for the enormous number of pods produced on each vine—no variety excels it in this respect. The pods are small, but the Peas so densely packed therein tbat the yield per plant exceeds that of many of the larger podded sorts. It is one of the few English varieties that has become perfectly adapted to American conditions. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 peck.

This really remarkable little Pepper is particularly well suited to the private garden, having several qualities which are ideal for that purpose. | The plants are remarkably small and compact, so that they may be planted | as close as one foot apart in the rows. It is extremely early, in fact, the earliest of all the sweet Peppers, yet the fruits are of good size, amply large | enough for general use. They are borne in great profusion close to the | center of the plant.’ The fruits are most: attractive in appearance, the color | is a brilliant, vivid, waxy scarlet, and the flavor is remarkably pleasing, | delightfully piquant, and quite free from pungency.

| ‘It bears a large crop, and so continuously, that if the ean, fruits are | plucked and used when green, the plants will continue to yield bounti- i]

fully, and produce a heavy crop of ripe fruits later in the season. It is also’a little more rugged than ~ many sorts, so that it will succeed in a

_ HENDERSON’S -- Hollow Crown Parsnip

|. Qur selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the best for the private garden. We have discarded all the types with slim, long roots that invariably break in digging, and offer only a shapely heavy-shouldered strain with its greatest girth at the crown and gradually tapering to a small root. This is easily dug, and is suited to a greater variety of soils than any. To secure best results deep digging is essential, and the soil should be free from stone and well cultivated.

For winter use lay the roots horizontally in small boxes packed with ordinary garden soil, and store them in some convenient | place outdoors away from snow or rain. Bring in a box as needed, thawing them out slowly in a moderate temperature. Frost improves their quality. (See engraving. ye Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 0z., 30c. 14 Ib., $1.00 Ib.

Bovee, perhaps more than any other sort, delights in a rich soil, responding most generously to good treatment; given the proper soil conditions, frequent and thorough cultivation and fairly good climatic conditions, it will yield an abundance of medium sized Potatoes of perfect shape and remarkably good quality.

Improved GREEN MOUNTAIN Potato

A reliable medium late Potato which is rapidly increasing in popularity—in fact, in some sections it has superseded all other main crop varieties.

The Handsomest Potato Grown UNCLE SAM POTATO

Prodigious Cropper

QUALITY PERFECT—WHITE, DRY AND FLOURY

Uncle Sam is a particularly fine potato with phenomenal cropping qualities. We believe it to be the heaviest yielding variety grown. Ona loam or sandy soil it is a wonder in yield and quality. The crop averages remarkably regular in size and shape. Its appearance and superb quality when served satisfy the most fastidious, its flaky snow-white appear- ance gaining instant favor.

The tubers are oval shaped, with light russet skin, very even in outline and with shallow eyes. Its-handsome appearance and perfect form always ensure a fancy price on the market. (See engraving.) Price, 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel, $5.00 barrel of 165 pounds net. By express or freight at purchaser’s expense.

Henderson’s 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. Sownin 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. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 14 Ib., 50c. Ib.

“Please fill the enclosed order for Hender- son's Long Season Spinach. It is the best Spinach I ever had.”

MA YBELLE E. COLBY, Clover Ridge Farm, West Springfield, N. H. August 4th, 1915.

Sane bead SA LS I FY 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 4] various forms of indigestion. Most of its 3} medicinal value is contained in the milk which

og! 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. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 75c. yy Ib. $2.50 Ib.

ROUND-LEAVED OR DUTCH SPINACH One of the oldest and best-known sorts for the early spring crop. It .4 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.

Delicata Squash

For both summer and winter use Dry, sweet and rich—Wonderfully prolific

Delicata produces an enormous number of fruits of such convenient size that the entire Squash can be used at one time.

It is ready almost as soon as the early sum- mer sorts, is better flavored, and remains in perfect condition as longas any keeping variety.

Its flavor when cooked has*been compared to the Sweet Potato, others liken it to roasted chestnuts, but all agree that itis delicious. The fruits are about 9 inches long, and when ripe, are deep yellow, irregularly striped and marb- led with dark olive green.

The flesh is thick, of fine texture, and pale yellow in color. It is unexcelled for baking— the shape and size make it perfect for this pur- “A neighbor of pose and none is better for pies. When boiled mine who tasted Delicata Squash

Large Warted Hubbard Squash

Grow Warted Hubbard and Keep the Best Till Last

Every one knows that Hubbard Squash is a good keeper. Warted Hubbard keeps even better, and is larger. It is named on account of its greater size, and the excessive rough ‘‘warty”’ surface of the fruits. This is of no value in itself, but heavy warts indicate a hard shell, and the harder the shell, so much the better will the Squash keep. The plant is vigorous, PS. and bears a heavy crop.

Henderson’s Tenderloin Tomato

This variety is greatly esteemed by our customers on account | of its remarkable solidity of flesh, its delicious flavor, and phe- | nomenal cropping ability. | The vine is very robust, and of strong branching character, enabling it to produce and sustain a prodigious quantity of fruit | which is borne in clusters all over the vine. The individual | fruits are quite large, almost round, very smooth and even in | shape, and without any depression at the stem end, a common | fault with many large-fruited sorts. The outer color is brilliant purplish-red, which extends clear to the stem. It is more solid, | and heavier than any sort of equal size. No variety excels it in | color of flesh, its rich blood-crimson permeates the heart of every fruit. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 0z., $1.75 14 Ib.

“T was very much pleased with the Tenderloin Tomato on account- | of the extra good quality of the fruit.’ Mrs. BARBARA SONAFRANK, | March 4, 1914. Bristow, Iowa. “In the writer’s experience of ten years which covers every Tomato | listed by every seedsman of any prominence, I find that Henderson's Tenderloin Tomato is for slicing and ho:ne use the best of all. There is nothing that compares with it in my opinion. If I had to choose | but one Tomato to plant it would be the Tenderloin.”

Barnwell, S. C. _ Henderson’s Crimson Cushion Tomato

| Crimson Cushion is a scarlet ‘‘sport’’ from Ponderosa, and | resembles the original stock in nearly all respects, but the color is brilliant crimson-searlet. It bears a prodigious crop of per- fectly shaped fruits of enormous size that ripen clear to the | stem, while its rich color is sustained throughout the entire fruit. It ripens a few fruits immediately after the very early sorts, |and from then right up to frost it yields a constant supply of massive, luscious fruits. These are always extremely solid, and remain so after cooking. Served in slices its solid, tempting appearance compels instant admiration, and in the final and decisive test of flavor it is appetizing and delicious. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 0z., $1.75 14 Ib.

““T am pleased to report that I am greatly pleased with Henderson's Crimson Cushion Tomatoes. They are very smooth, large and ripen early. I pulled a bunch of seven in a cluster on one stem, many of them being 13 inches in circum- ference.” W. N. SHIVE, |} July 26, 1915. Union City, Tenn.

Golden Ball

Or “Orange Jelly” Turnip

A very distinct variety, and the finest yellow fleshed sort for family use. It grows a very shapely bulb, medium in size, almost round, very smooth, and quite free from side roots. The skin is pale yellow, the flesh deep yellow throughout, and so fine in texture as to earn the name “Orange Jelly.’’ Sown in July it gives a very satisfactory crop in early fall, and may be used to great advantage during winter if properly stored. Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 14 lb., 70c. Ib.

Purple Top White Globe Turnip

A very large globe-shaped variety. The upper surface of the bulb is reddish purple, the lower part is white. It grows smooth, has a small root and medium sized tops. The flesh is pure white, crisp, very fine, and is one of the best sorts to store for = 3 winter. Recommended for fall - ————— SS crop. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. 0z., 25c. 14 Ib., 70c. Ib

Henderson’s Golden Heart Ruta Baga

Excellent for the family garden. It grows as clean and smooth asa Turnip. Both tops and roots are smaller than those of any other sort; it may therefore stand closer in the row, and may also be sown later in the season. The flesh is remarkably fine grained and of good flavor. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 35c. 14 Ib., $1.00 Ib.

Our New Pamphlet “GARDEN CULTURE OF ROOT CROPS”

TABLE TURNIPS

Turnips are easy to grow, but rarely do well in summer. The spring crop must be sown in this section before April 15th, so that it will mature before May 25th. Early turnips shoula be used when quite young in order to be tender. If they remain in the ground too long, they are liable to be both woody and strong flavored. Turnips grow best in the fall from seed sown from July 15th to July 25th. The varieties grown at this season remain in good condition all winter.

Early Snowball Turnip

One of the best white-fleshed sorts grown. It isan excellent sort} to sow very early for a spring crop, when, if used before fully grown, VE it will be of particularly good quality and very tender. It may also ( be used to good advantage to grow a quick crop for immediate use in the fall, if sown during August, or even as late as September 10th. We do not urge its use for winter keeping, as many other sorts are preferable. It is one of the most evenly shaped of all Turnips. The bulbs when trimmed are almost a perfect sphere, snow white in color, and quite free from sideroots. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. 14 Ib., $1.00 Ib.

Early White Milan Turnip

An extra early variety of rapid growth with very small leaves. if It is admirably adapted for spring and early summer planting, and if sown during the early spring will furnish a supply of the most jj tender and delicately flavored '}p Turnips. The root is of small size, smooth and ivory white both inside and out. The flesh is {}4 fine grained, tender, mild and \iig sweet in flavor, and when grown ||

quickly never becomes pithy or woody. It is greatly esteemed by all, and, in addition to the heavy crop assured by its adapt- ,|F ability for close planting, it is ‘}s fit for use at least a week earlier jj}! than any other white variety in || cultivation. Price, 10c. pkt., } 20c. 0z., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 Ib.

Early Red Top Strap | Leaved Turnip

This is perhaps the most popu- | lar of all the quick growing sorts, { and may be used to good ad- vantage for the early spring {| } crop. It grows very rapidly } under proper conditions, and in 4) six weeks from sowing will pro- || . duce a good crop of tender ‘ roots of mild and pleas- | | ing flavor. The leaves ~ are short, the roots ‘ » quite flat, the up-

\ per half reddish purple, the lower half { white. The | flesh is pure white, crisp | and fine grained. Price, Sc. pkt., 10c. oz. | 25c. 14 Ib., 70c. Ib.

HENDERSON’S IMPORTED

Clydesdale Oats

THE MOST POPULAR HIGH-GRADE WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES

Early: and Productive—Free from Disease—Does not Shell Out in Handling—And Weighs 50 Pounds to the Measured Bushel

Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly gained in popularity, until to-day it is the most popular High-Grade White Oat in the United States. The climate of America is. unsuited to the production and main- tenance of the highest grade of Oats, and unless a heavy im- ported (British) Oat be used for seed purposes, at least every second or third year, they become light, ‘‘chaffy,’’ inferior in quality and unprofitable. The ultimate financial benefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual distribution of several thousand bushels of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats cannot be over-estimated. These Oats weigh naturally 50 lbs. per measured bushel, and they deteriorate in weight

. only. from 3 to 4 lbs. each year they are grown here, so that the produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market value of ordinary Oats. No other Oat can show such a record—75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double the usual quantity of straw. Another most important advantage of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats to the farmer is the fact that they have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery, and are absolutely free from weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. (See engraving.)

“T vaised 1,183 bushels of Clydesdale Oats this year on 18 acres. They are a very fine quality, plump oat. I purchased 3 bushels of Imported Clydesdale Oats from you three years ago and this is the result. It has been highly satisfactory. The straw on this crop of oats would average more than four feet high and did not lodge to amount to anything, although we had many heavy storms in this section and many other oats lodged badly."’

Sept. 14, 1915. M. W. HICKS, Granville, N. Y.

“T purchased from you last spring. 15 bushels Clydesdale Oats

which I put on 4 4-5 acres and got 430 bushels of beautiful oats."” CYRUS REIMER, 701 Swetland Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio. March 27, 1914. i

“The Oats I bought of you made a wonderful showing. I planted 20 acres with your seed and 20 acres with the best seed I could buy in Richmond. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. The field from your Oats is the prettiest sight on the farm. They have grown higher and faster than anything we have been used to."

Long’s White Tartar Oats

THE IDEAL SIDE OAT FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER

The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side Oat in cultivation. It is suitable for all soils; of robust and vigorous constitution, is remarkably early and an immense cropper; the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does not readily lodge or twist. The heads measure from 8 to 101% inches, and the kernels are of immense size, thick, plump and heavy, it is undoubtedly the heaviest cropping domestic white Oat ever offered. Its extreme earliness, great length and strength of straw, thick, plump

LONG’S CHAMPION Yellow Dent Corn

For the last 15 years on a section of 90 acres this Corn has yielded an average of 133 bushels of Shelled Corn per acre and has yielded as high as 160 bushels.

This King of Corns is without doubt the finest, the largest and the most productive Yellow Dent Corn ever produced, and will be found to be of great value to the farmer, especially in the Middle and Eastern States, where from 120 to 130 days of good Corn growing weather can be relied upon; on account of its immense yield, at least 25 per cent. and often 50 per cent. more than can be obtained from the average old-type Corns generally planted.

Long’s Champion is the climax of 25 years of Corn breeding and selection by Mr. I. S. Long, one of the most successful and progressive farmers in the Pennsylvania Corn Belt.

The ears are of immense size, 12 to 14 inches in length, 8 to 11 inches in circumference, carrying 20 to 24 uniform rows of long, large kernels well developed over tip and butt. It is a luxuriant grower, about 12 to 15 feet high, and in Lebanon County, Pa., where it originated, has never failed to mature by September 20th, when planted during the first half of May. There is but a limited quantity of seed for sale, which can only be had through us. (See engraving.) Price, $1.00 peck, $3.25 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $3.15 per bushel.

Raised Over 120 Bushels of Shelled Corn Per Acre

“T am sending you a clipping about my son who is under 15 years old. He entered the Warren County Corn Growers’ contest with one acre of ground, did all the work himself, after the ground was plowed, and raised 244 bushels of ear corn or 120.88 bushels of shelled corn. He raised it from the seed he bought from you last spring—Long’s Champion Yellow Dent.”

W. M. VOLLENTINE, Irvine, Pa.

It Was a Bumper Crop

“The enclosed photograph shows a picture of myself standing amongst my bumper crop of Long’s Champion Corn. As you will notice it is at least 14 feet high. The ears are immense, fully 14 inches long, well developed at the tip, and growing close to the butt.

“The crop ripened inside of 110 days, and certainly yielded one-third more to the acre than any Corn I ever grew before on my farm.”

JOHN LYONS, Attorney-at-Law, Rockville Centre, L. I.

A Great Corn for the Silo

“T send you a photo showing a crop of Long’s Champion Corn from your seed. From less than two acres I filled a silo 10x26 feet. The Corn averaged 14 feet high and was well eared.”

L. A. TERWILLIGER, Chenango Forks, Broome Co., N. Y.

HENDERSON’S EUREK

Yellow Dent Corn

One of the finest and most productive field Corns grown; it is a tremendo yielder—150 bushels of shelled Corn per_acre is not unusual. The pla grow 12 to 15 feet high, a large proportion of them bearing two immen ears to the stalk; the ears are very handsome, averaging 12 to 15 inch long, with small red cob covered full, and over both butt and tip end with 18 to 22 even rows of large, deep grain of a rich orange-yellow cold It is fairly early for so large a Dent Corn, but, of course, does not matu as quickly as the small early Dent and Flint varieties, but where 100 | 110 days of ‘‘Corn weather’’ are assured, it is the Corn to grow. It giv} unqualified satisfaction from New Jersey to Ohio and south, but north that latitude we do not advise planting it unless in favored localities. Pri 80c. peck, $2.75 bushel, 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel.

Makes the Finest Succulent Silage

“T grow a large quantity of Corn for fodder and ensilage, and find yo Eureka the best corn for this purpose I ever grew. -It is a rank grower, wi® plenty of leaf and ear, making the finest kind of succulent silage.”

_J.L. PRESTON, Conneaut, Pa.

Loaded with Ears 12 to 13 in. Long | :

“My crop of Henderson's Eureka was considered the finest crop of corn the New Brunswick, N. J., district, and I was complimented many tim The stalks stood 10 to 11 feet high, and were loaded down with golden ears fro 12 to 13 inches long and very thick. I believe my success will induce n neighbors 1o plant ‘Eureka’ also next spring.’”

Nov. 1, 1915 W.F.QUADE, Lilac Terrace, New Brunswick, N. J.

JAPANESE MILLET

Is particularly valuable in the Northern States as a quick-growing foras and ensilage crop, attaining a height in good soil of 6 to 8 feet and yieldir from 10 to 18 tons of green fodder per acre. For feeding green, it may } cut from day to day as needed until the seed begins to ripen. During t period it is much relished by stock. For dried fodder it should be cut in t blossom stage, and is preferred by horses and cattle to Timothy and Clov hay. For ensilage, two parts of the Millet in combination with one pa: Soja Bean forage, form a com- : plete balanced ration that may be fed without grain. Sow from May to July, 15 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcasted, or if in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Price, 15c. Ib.; 10 Ibs., $1.20; 100 lbs., $10.00. (For other varieties of Millet see page 73.)

: | Pp For Fodder and Uanada E 1e d CaS. Green-Manuring ‘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 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.) 2 For the Northern States there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas. Whether for fodder, in mixture with Oats, sown at the rate of 2 bushels of Peas and 1 bushel of Oats per acre, or the Peas sown alone at the rate of 3 bushels per acre for plowing under, there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend. Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen from the air, the soil from which a crop of Peas has been harvested is richer in nitrogen than before, 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 Marrowfat and Canada Field Peas, especially the white variety, are valuable for early spring sowing; being exceptionally hardy, the crop is not easily injured by late frosts. Sown alone for fodder or in combination with Oats for hay, or as a crop to plow under fof green manure, they are unsurpassed. Peas can be followed by Millet or Crimson Clover. (See engraving.) Prices of Field Peas for Fodder and Green-Manuring. Peas, Canada White. $1.00 per peck; $3.75 per bushel of 60 Ibs.; 10 bushel lots, $3.65 per bushel. Peas, Large Marrowfat. $1.50 per peck; $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $4.90 per bushel.

Cow Peas

Cow Peas are more tender than Canada or Field Peas 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 profit- able crop, either for harvesting or plowing under.

The early varieties of Cow Peas are quite extensively and successfully grown for forage and soiling as far north as Massa- chusetts, but so far north the crop may not ripen seeds. As a soil renovator and enricher Cow Peas are very valuable. A crop of Cow Peas collects nitrogen from the air in large quantities and fixes it in the soil, thus adding this expensive element of fertilizer to.the land without cost, and leaving it richer and in splendid condition for the future crop. All crops do well after Cow Peas. Cow Peas grow on all soils from the stiffest clays to porous sands, barren uplands and alluvial bottoms. The feeding value of Cow Peas is high, whether as green forage, cured hay or silage, being especially rich in blood, bone and muscle-forming material. For green-manuring clay land, the crop should be turned under green. On sandy soil, already too light, the vines should decay on the surface and then be turned under. Sow 2 bushels per acre. Black Eye Cow Peas. A popular and productive early sort.

Price, $3.75 per bush. of 601bs.; 10-bush. lots, $3.65 per bush. New Era Cow Peas. A new, extra-early variety, earlier than the

Black Eye, the quickest growing of any of the Cow Peas,

maturing in about 60 days, specially adapted for planting

north. Yields well. Price, $3.50 per bushel of 60 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, $3.40 per bushel.

\Henperson’s Japanese Buckwheat

Chis grand variety, introduced by us several years ago, has proven a bonanza to Buck- eat raisers in this country. It is of strong, branching growth, stands up well and pro- ies from two to four times as much grain as any other variety under same conditions. s also fully a week earlier.

Che Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station reports that “‘It is larger and stronger, stands better during storms, and the grains are larger; but what places it far ahead of other ieties is that of setting full crops of Buckwheat in dry, hot weather. It can also be sown ch earlier than other varieties, thus avoiding loss by early frost.”’

tTenderson’s Japanese Buckwheat seed is grown from the largest Japanese type imported us for stock seed and is therefore immensely superior to that grown here for several sea- |s whereby it has deteriorated. Sow 1 bushel per acre. (See engraving.) Price, 60c. k; $2.00 per bushel of 48 Ibs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.90 per bushel.

Dwarf Essex Rape

{nder favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks ja time of sowing, and on an average one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks ‘wo months. When on the Rape they should at all times have access to salt; but water ot necessary. In the Northern States it’should be sown from May to the end of August | fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the South- States until September or October for winter pasture. In the latitude of New York, y or August is the best time to sow. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre jirills. Price, 15c.1b.; $6.50 bushel of 50 Ibs.; 100 lbs., $12.00.

Henderson’s

SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR Hay and Permanent Pasture

It Produces Wonderful Hay Crops and Luxuriant Pasture Maintaining Its Cropping Qualities Twenty Years or More

This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in vari- ous parts of the United States, with most gratifying results. It is a well-balanced combination of a number of native and accli- mated foreign Grasses and Clovers, blended and improved upon during exhaustive trials under widely varied conditions, soils and localities for several years, until practically perfect, our aim be- ing to produce, under the extremes of the American climate of heat, drought and cold, a PERMANENT, dense and deep-rooting turf that would yield year after year the maximum quantity of forage. These Grasses are of superior quality, inviting, sweet and nourishing, whether used as kay or pasture. That we have been successful is attested by the numerous letters of praise for these special Grass mixtures that we have received from the users, and the tributes to their merits published in many of the agricultural journals. See Henderson's Farmers’ Manual for testimonials. It is sent post free on request.

In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown, and to realize the object in view. Therefore a description of the soil and climate, and the purpose for which sown, and if with or with- out a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag.

Price (purchaser paying carriage), $2.75 per bu. of 14 lbs.; 50-bu. lots, $2.65 per bu.; 100-bu. lots, $2.60 per bu.

Regarding Clovers

Do not omit tc sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they to the yield of hay and pasture, and by their ability to coljn atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist »b growth of the Grasses and are of considerable benefit to sj? sequent crops.

Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weig;, should be sown separately, but at the same time as the Grasjq

Henderson's Butterfly Pansies—in mixture—have been famous many years for their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity} colorings, superb markings as well as for robust plant growth—deep rooting frost and heat resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. This ‘“‘Butterff race originated with Mr. Peter Henderson—who was particularly fond of pansies and could be seen almost any morning during ‘‘pansy season’ walk around the beds—and through his pansy trials from the best American, English, Scotch, French and German pansy specialists. A boy with tro) and ‘‘flat’’ followed and lifted any plant indicated by Mr. Henderson—which meant that it fulfilled all of his expert and critical requirements and } to be transferred to the ‘‘Butterfly’’ bed and associate with the ‘‘quality’’ pansies—the best from all over the world. This process of selection and eliminat} has been persisted in by us ever since and from the legion of ‘‘most beautiful’’ pansies amongst Henderson’s Butterflies we have chosen for this offering thf, shown in colors on the opposite plate—though it does not do them justice—no brush can. We offer seeds of the twelve separately or collectively as bell,

WORLD RECORD—or Hardy Early-Flowering—PANSIES

This new race of pansies promises to be an important introduction on account of the extreme hardiness of the plants and in consequence their ef

ness in flowering.

With slight protection, such as salt meadow hay, leaves or similar material, full grown plants winter over in the Open ground—«¢

in very cold latitudes—and commence flowering in early spring with the Snowdrop and Crocus, or from four to six weeks earlier than other panf-

In fact, we gathered flowers several times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay.

Even Spring sown plants will commence flowe}

much sooner than other pansies—and the deep fibrous-rooted plants being less susceptible:to hot weather—continue to bloom in increasing profu}”

well in to late Summer with but little if any diminution in size of flowers.

HENDERSON’S

INVINCIBLE ASTERS

SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE

“They are Royally Grand”’ The Largest and Most Beautiful of all Asters

Henderson’s Invincible are the latest and highest achievements in China Asters, a superior race in every way. The plants are of very healthy, robust, branching growth, about 2 feet high—though under best culture often 3 feet—producing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect form and graceful outline, and are exceedingly double to the very center. The flowers are the most beautifully formed of all large Asters. The petals are of thick, durable substance, and, in consequence, the flowers last long in perfection. These Asters are wonderfully prolific and continuous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in masses in garden borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative effect is unapproach- ably gay and enlivening. When well grown the flowers of Henderson’s Invincible Asters average 3!4 inches across; 4-inch flowers are quite com- mon, and if grown especially for cut flowers, the side branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 or 10 flowers, one flower to a stem, their size will then be enormous, measuring 414 and 5 inches across. These magnificent blossoms being gracefully poised on strong, well-leaved stems 15 to 18 inches long, resemble large-sized Chrysanthemums, and are un- surpassed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration.

We have received many enthusiastic letters 0 praise from our patrons regarding these Asters—some of whom have been fortunate enough to capture prizes with them at local exhibitions, flower shows, etc.

PATRONS PRAISE Henderson’s Invincible Asters

“Tam glad, indeed, to add my praise to your wonderful Invincible Asters. From seeds I bought of you last spring, I produced garden grown Asters that no professional florists could surpass. The flowers were immense and the colors charming in the extreme. We had great quantities of the flowers in our home all season and gave our friends dozens and dozens at a time, and all praised them most enthusiastically.” Mr. LEE CANTRELL, Nashville, Tenn.

“The largest and most beautiful Asters I ever saw were your Invincibles grown in my flower garden.’ Mrs. J. K. SHADMAN, Duke Center, Pa.

“Vour Invincible Asters are grand. I entered them in the Mille Lacs Co. Fair last September and they took first prize."’ H.E. COOK, Princeton, Minn.

“My Invincible Asters are pronounced the glory of the neighborhood. There are more than 800 blossoms standing between three and four feet high with foliage from tip to root; the flowers so large and perfect as to deceive many into believing they are Chrysanthemums. They are a vision of color and beauty. The blossoms measure 4% inches in diameter and many 5-inch ones. The measurements were taken by florists who came from the extreme limits of North and South Chicago with tape lines and cameras. Do you wonder that I am proud of my Invincible Asters?” Mrs. FRANCIS E. FOSS,

9828 Winston Av., Chicago, Ills.

“My Asters grown from your Invincible strain were the best at our flower show. Five blooms of the lavender were the finest Asters I ever saw and I have grown Asters for sixty years." CHAS.JAS. FOX, South London, C’da.

“Mrs. Schmell won the first prize at the Interstate Fair at Spokane this fall for large long stemmed Asters; they were grown from your Invincible Seed.”

C. E. SCHMELL, Spokane, Wash.

“T have had wonderful success with your Invincible Asters this year while others in this section fell completely down.”

C. D. TINNEMEYER, Evansville, Ind.

“T had the pleasure last fall of taking first premium at our County Fair with my Invincible Asters over several other competitors.”

Mrs. CHAS. I. SALE, Medford, Wis.

“T grew your Invincible Asters last-year and never saw any to equal them in size, fullness and color.” HAROLD BIGGS, Berkeley, Calif.

“We have had many people come from long distances to see our wonderful

Invincible Asters. They have grown to a height of 4% feet with about 25 immense flowers to each plant.” CROSS & BEARDSLEY.

ENDER Eoweunc ANTIRRHINUMS

These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the plebeian “Snapdragon”’ rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change in the general estimation is the direct result of the evolutionary improvement for the past few years, that has made the Giant Flowering Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory for gardens, bedding, borders, pot culture, for house decoration, forcing for winter cut flowers, etc. The plants are of healthy robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and continuous-blooming, producing long, graceful spikes of immense and durable pure colored flowers, either rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, as may be selected. Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture and independence of heat and drought, and pure, bright colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. Although perennials in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; spring- sown seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An effective bed may be formed by planting the center with the tall varieties and the outer rows with the semi-dwarf; planted in a combination of separate colors the effect is very beautiful—although even a ‘‘Mixed’’ bed is a feast for the eyes; the plants should be placed 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops—although it delays the beginning of owering—forces the plants to branch low and ultimately gives better results.

CYPRESS VINE AND CARDINAL CLIMBER

These beautiful twining annual climbers are not as much grown as they deserve. Seed started in pots early in the house or hot bed, and the seedlings set out in the garden after danger from frost, will make plants 20 feet high and be completely covered for 3 months or more with beautiful star-shaped tubular flowers borne in clusters that contrast effectively against the feathery Fern-like, bright green foliage. Sown in the open ground they will of course commence flowering later. In the latter event the hard shelied seeds should be soaked in hot water.

DAHLIAS FROM SEED

It is not generally realized that most beautiful Dahlias may be grown and flowered in late summer and autumn from spring-sown seed. Many of them, differing from any of the named varieties on the market, and some from seed are equally beautiful, the production of novel forms and combinations of colorings being most interesting. One of our customers, Mr. A. P. Updike, Reno, Nev., writes us thus: ‘‘By planting a packet of your choice Dahlia seed this spring, I was successful in raising such beauties, that I secured the First Premium—a gold medal—at the Nevada State Fair, for the best display and greatest variety of Dahlias.”’

HARDY DOUBLE

HOLLY HOCK

Grand summer and autumn flowering plants, bearing long spikes of double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They are old inhabitants of our gardens, but are now so im- proved in doubleness and enlarged in size, under our special culture and hybridization, as to be revelations of gorgeous beauty to those who have not seen these improved sorts. Hardy biennials 5 to 8 feet high. The seed’ we offer has been saved from an unrivaled collection.

HENDERSON’S EVER-BLOOMING

ANNUAL HOLLYHOCK

Every Garden may now be Glorified with Queenly Hollyhocks Grown as Easily and Flowering as Quickly from Seed as any Garden Annual

The old favorite Hollyhock can seldom be flowered from seed before the second year, and as the young plants frequently winter-kill, it has limited the cultivation of Hollyhocks to those willing to give the young plants special winter care. All of this bother is obviated in growing our annual Hollyhocks, for they flower the first season from seed.

The plants from early-sown seed set out in May commence blooming in July, the May-sown in August, and in either event they flower profusely until frost.

The flower buds, borne in clusters, vary in maturity from the

developing bud to the expanding flower; this characteristic ac- Double Blush ee mice Pkt. 10c counts for the remarkably long flowering period, and, besides, ‘ Canary-yellow....... Cc. the plants continuously push out side branches as well as new ie Crimsony vice ere 10c. spikes from the base, all of which also develop their quota of i Deep Rose.......... 10c. flowers almost ad infinitum. “ Lavender............ 10c.

The diversity of forms and colors among the flowers affords ‘Light Apr.cot......... 10c. many delightful surprises. Some plants produce densely double Fs Bla chriie iiav) eyalecensyose 10c. flowers without guards, others with guard petals; there are semi- re Maroon sete eee 10c doubles with Anemone-flowered centers, some with smooth- eG Rinks res ee). ee os 10c edged petals, others flounced, fringed, etc., and all flowers are os aes Bye Rae ger eee ecia tie teks ee

usually very large, some measuring five inches across. In colors there is also great variety, some richly brilliant, others dainty and exquisite, then there are colors and tints in charming com- binations. There are maroon, black, pink, chamois-rose. apricot with garnet throat, crimson, canary-yellow, pink with claret thraot and veins, blush with carmine lacings, cerise, white, scarlet, blush with white throat, magenta apricot with buff margin wine-red w'th white edge, etc., etc.

The plants are of vigorous and healthy growth and naturally branching in habit. The center spike, if not pinched, attains a height of from 8 to 10 feet, after which, if permitted, the side shoots from the base commence to lengthen, growing candelabra- like, 3 to 5 feet long. The plants are amenable to training; that is, the main stem may be kept at any desired height by pinching out the tip, or it may be kept low and induce earlier develop- ment in the side branches, thus forming a bush.

From those who have grown Henderson’s Annual Ever-Blooming Hollyhocks “T was much pleased with the Ever-blooming Hollyhocks I had from you last year. They commenced blooming in August and continued in bloom until cut off by frost.” GEO, A. PITT, Portland, Maine. “T have never known such fine Hollyhocks as came from your Ever-blooming kind, the seeds of which were planted in the open ground last April. They began to flower the last of July and I had six, eight or ten spikes on nearly every plant. One CANNOT praise them enough."’ HELEN J. RIPLEY, Brookline, Mass.

These are grand improvements over the older well-known sorts. The flowers are fully double the size, and the plants and foliage are correspondingly larger and more robust, attaining a height of 6 to 10 feet; the vines quickly hide trellis from view and are thickly studded with flowers nearly as large as Gloxinias. The plants from seed sown in spring will begin flowering by July and continue until frost.

Giaactionerne CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS

A new section distinguished by flowers of a large size and a richness and variety of coloring not to be found in Nasturtiums heretofore grown. There have already been produced twenty-two different colors or combinations of colors in these new hybrids, including shades of rose, salmon, bright red, pale yellow, etc., either self-colored or spotted, mottled, striped, and margined.

For covering trellises, fences, arbors, piazzas, trailing over rockwork, etc., nothing can equal

the gorgeous effect produced by their marvelous quantities of bloom, borne in uninterrupted splendor from early summer until cut down by frost. Their ease of culture and luxuriant growth, 12 to 15 feet high, render these Nasturtiums worthy of great popularity.

Henderson’s Mammoth Butterfly Pansies

Competed with the best from all over the world at the Columbian Exposition and were AWARDED THE MEDAL AND ARE NOW BETTER THAN EVER

These Pansies we are very proud of. We have sold them for a number of years and receive hundreds of letters praising their superior beauty, size and other merits; they were awarded a medal at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, where they competed with the best from all over the world. When our unequalled collections of all types of Pansies are in bloom we go over them daily and any plant producing flowers of superlative merit is removed to our ‘Mammoth Butterfly” plot of Pansies, where nothing but the largest, handsomest and most perfect are allowed to remain. Consequently the seed is saved from the greatest varieties of types, including only the best of Giant Cassiers, Bugnots, Trimardeau, 5-blotched Odier, Giant English, French and German Hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest variety of coloring, marking, blotching, veining, etc., for brilliant and attractive beds.

ENDERSON’S GIANT RUFFLED PANSIES

A remarkable strain of Giant Pansies, the flowers of which are so large and full that the broad petals seem to be ‘‘gathered’’ to the stem, causing them to be undulated and fluted from center to circumference, not unlike “frilled’”’ velvet. The unusual substance of the flowers, aided by these corrugations, thus enables them to present bold, open and handsome faces, even during windy or dry summer weather, when other Pansy flowers droop or wilt. The flowers are extraordinary large and are borne on strong stems we'l 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. The plants are vigorous and large, and flower abundantly. ;

Henperson’s MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES

The Patisian Pansies are distinguished by their magnificent and varied colors and strong markings. There is usually a large ‘‘blotch’”’ on each of the five: petals, with a surrounding band of some strikingly contrasting color, over all of which is thrown a cobweb-like netting of yet another hue. The combinations prevailing are composed of shades of cinnamon, violet, canary and orange-yellow, black, garnet, light blue, indigo, cream, etc. These Pansies have been brought up to a high standard of excellence, the flowers being of fine substance, perfect shape and of mammoth size, measur- ing, when properly cultivated, four inches across. A large number of these Pansies are also very fragrant.

“Your Butterfly Pansies planted beside the finest mixed pansies of two other leading seedsmen, were pronounced by all the finest, though one of the other packets cost me 50c. Your *‘ Butterflies’ bore the largest variely of rich and rare colors and markings I have ever had in my 20 years’ experience in pansy culture. I most heartily recommend Henderson's Butterfly to pansy lovers.” Rev. ENOCH PICKERING, Dodgeville, W1s.

‘Words are inadequate to give.a filting description of the wonderful brilliancy and beauty of your Butterfly Pansies. We have never seen such a rich diversity of colors—such perfect form and large size. Many of the blooms were 3 inches across, some more than that, on stems over 6 inches long.”

NOT E.—Double-flowering Petunia plants do not produce seed. The pollen from the doubles is transferred to the chosen singles which produce the seed; in consequence only about one-third of the progeny will be double- flowering plants, and these in the seedling stage are always the weaklings of the batch and are the ones to be coddled. Even the best double-flowering plants of these may only bear a single or semi-double flower at first.

DOUBLE SELF-SEEDING PETUNIAS

This new strain is unique from the fact that the double flowers pro- duce seed insuring a larger percentage of double-flowering plants (about 60 per cent.) than can be raised from singles artificially pollenized from double flowers which is necessary in producing all other Double Petunzas from seed. The flowers of these Double Self-seeding Petunias are larze-— double—and include a variety of different colors............ Pkt. 2c.

Grand acquisitions, forming sturdy little bushes only eight inches high, producing masses of bloom from ground to summit. The flowers, borne in immense trusses, are unusually large and of superior sub- stance. For bedding this is a most brilliantly effective annual type. Separate colors, planted in separate beds, or the scarlet or pink surrounded by the white, or planted in designs, will form a floral picture of incomparable richness of coloring. They are of easy culture—amply repaying generous treatment— succeeding in all sunny positions, beginning to bloom in early summer from spring-sown seed and con- tinuing until close of autumn.

Henderson’s Giant Double Poppies

“BRILLIANT BLEND” x These Annual Poppies are sturdy, luxuriant growers about 214 feet high, bearing immense double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as large as Peonies. Some of the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals, and are of imposing effect; others have laciniated and fringed edges which add a charming grace; but the climaxing merit of all is the wonderful variety of coloring, ranging from the most gorgeous down through innumerable shades to purest white; many are also striped, blended and edged with other colors. When grown in masses the floral panorama is of almost unimagined beauty. They are of the easiest possible culture; the seed only needs to be sown thinly in May where the plants are to remain.

“Tt may interest you to know that Henderson's Giant Double Poppies were planted alongside poppies from two other noted seed houses and yours far surpassed, both in sizeand beauty. The colors are the prettiest imagi- nable; many people see them and say they never saw such beautiful poppies.” EDGAR VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N.Y.

; HENDERSON’S Giant Shirley or Majestic Poppies

A great advance in single annual Poppies. The flowers are im- mense, often 4 inches across, the petals are fluted and crinkled and in the sunlight appear like rumpled satin. The plants are well branched, about 12 inches high, and bloom in continuous succession for weeks. There are white, white-splashed crimson, rose banded with white, salmon, carmine, blush, scarlet, and many splashed, striped, dotted, edged, etc. If cut in the bud state and the stems put in water, the flowers will open as well as on the plant, and the effect of a vase of Shirley Poppies is immensely graceful and beautiful.

Corossal, > )6“Ten-Week Stocks

This magnificent strain is without a rival for open-ground planting, attaining a height of 2!4 feet. The spikes of bloom are very long, and the individual flowers are enormous in size and very double.

These popular flowers are easily grown, and are so highly fragrant and of such great beauty, and have so many good qualities, that they deserve a place in every garden. They should be given good rich soil to grow in, and will amply reward good treatment with remarkably large pyramids of bloom; the flowers represent a great diversity of brilliant color.

The plants are of fine symmetrical habit, bushy, and in flower stand about 11% to 2 feet in height. The numerous side branches each carry a tall strong spike well furnished with unusually large and very double deliciously clove-scented flowers. Decorative whether grown in flower beds, garden borders or as potted specimens. They do not flower as quickly from seed sowing as Ten-week Stocks, the ‘‘Beauties’’ requiring from 12 to 15 weeks, but after they commence blooming their long continued profusion is phenom- enal. Seeds started early in the spring and the seedlings transplanted in the garden in May will begin flowering in July and continue to bloom until frozen. Late sown plants if carefully lifted and potted in the fall will continue to flower beautifully in window garden or con- servatory during the winter, though when grown especially for winter flowering—for which “Beauty’’ Stocks are peculiarly adaptable—it is better to sow the seeds in July or August. As cut flowers ‘“‘Beauty’’ Stocks are unsurpassable, their splendid trusses of bloom lend them- selves to table and other floral decorations and the fragrant flowers are of lasting substance.

HENDERSON’S NEW RED SUNFLOWERS

SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE

These gorgeous floral creations were bred by crossing various types of annual garden sunflowers with the only red sunflower in the world, so far as known, a small flowering hardy variety discovered by a botanist growing wild in Colorado. Among the artificial hybrids thus produced, remarkable new types of wonderful beauty and variety have developed. In horticultural parlance ‘‘the blood has been broken”’ so that wonderful new things in the Sun- flower family are anticipated in the near future. The first ‘‘break’’ Henderson’s Red and Gold Sunflower we introduced in 1914. The Wine and Prim- rose and the Red Lilliput forms were introduced by us in 1915, and this year we are enabled to add the Pink and White type to the list. In addition to these four, we hope soon to have ‘‘trued up” the DOUBLE RED SUNFLOWER. the SEMI-DOUBLE RED AND GOLD SUNFLOWER, the WHITE SUNFLOWER and perhaps the most unique and beautiful of all, the COLLARETTE SUNFLOWER. The small petaloid petals surrounding the central disc suggest a golden ruff, overlaying the large deep red petals of the flower. These and other unique forms having already appeared among plants grown from our Red Sunflower seeds, some with our customers and others among our plants grown for seed. When a horticultural break of this kind occurs among plants that can only be propagated by seeds, it sometimes takes several years to ‘‘true up’’ to any selected type by the only recourse, selection. Therefore variations may be expected even among the forms we now catalogue, while some of these ‘‘off types’’ may come ‘‘too much” yellow. Yet all will be showy and desirable—with the possibility of some unique and beautiful freak appearing, thus adding to the pleasurable interest in watching Hen- derson’s Red Sunflower grow. HENDERSON’S RED SUNFLOWERS are splendid garden annuals, quick and robust in growth, very showy in the garden border or in groups or as hedges—and the long-stemmed flowers when cut and vased are most effective and last long in water.

HENDERSON'S RED SUNFLOWERS are as easily grown from seed as any other annual Sunflower—they thrive in almost any soil in a sunny position. The seed may be sown in the open ground when warm enough—or it may be started in the house or hot bed. The plants commence flowering in about 8 weeks from seed sowing, and should stand not nearer than 3 feet apart for best development.

HENDERSON’S PARAGON COLLECTION OF

Giant Spencer Sweet Peas

EIGHTEEN OF THE BEST NEW VARIETIES SHOWN IN COLORS ON OPPOSITE PAGE AND DESCRIBED BELOW

Sweet Peas, gay and fragrant, are the most universally popular annual flowers cultivated. Inexpensive, easily and quickly grown from seed, thriving in town or country gardens, supplying an abundance of continuous bloom for months—an adornment to garden, house or corsage. Is it any wonder that they are ‘‘everybody’s flowers,’ and have been for generations? A few years ago, a paragon type appeared in the famous gardens of Earl Spencer, North- amptonshire, England. This newcomer, extremely beautiful. the fairest-formed and largest Sweet Pea ever grown, was named ‘‘Countess Spencer’ and from this has sprung the glorified modern race of Giant Waved ‘‘Spencer” or ‘‘Orchid-flowered” Sweet Peas.

The characteristics of the Spencer Sweet Peas, grown under congenial conditions are: robust growth, the plants attaining a height of from 6 to 10 feet, requiring for full development to be not less than 6 inches apart; a foot apart is better. The flowers are giants among Sweet Peas, measuring 2 to 214 inches across. They are beautifully formed and daintily waved. Three and often four or five of these queenly blossoms are borne on long, strong stems.

NEW EARLY ORCHID FLOWERING SWEET PEA “ YARRAWA”

This newcomer from Australia has proven its adaptability to American conditions, growing as luxuriantly and producing its long stemmed, giant waved flowers as quickly and in the same continuous profusion as if growing in the warm climate of the Antipodes. In our trials, it commenced flowering freely two weeks before other large waved Sweet Peas and three to four weeks earlier than some varieties, all given the same cultural treatment, and ‘‘Yarrawa continued in flower, holding its large size and phenomenal floriferousness for weeks after all other Sweet Peas had passed their best. The flowers are large of

round waved Spencer form and colored bright rose-pink with lighter pink wings. The exquisite coloring is most effective either by daylight or arti- Our tria! book says ‘‘It has a honey locust-like perfume."' For winter flowering under glass

it promises to rank with the best of the new ‘‘Winter Spencers.’’ Yarrawa is unfortunately a very shy seeder. Pkt. of 12 to 15 seeds, 15c.; two pkts., 25c.

STANDARD VARIETIES AND NOVELTIES

The world-wide popularity of the new race of Giant Waved Spencer Sweet Peas, their sportive tendency and the ease with which they are hybridized or cross-bred, has resulted in the production of a legion of varieties by enthu- siasts and growers both in Europe and America. In consequence numbers of varieties under different names have proven to be identical and many others are closely similar. Therefore in our effort to simplify this con- fusion of names we made a thorough study and comparison of hundreds of varieties grown at our trial grounds the past summer and after the name of such variety we offer is bracketed in italics the synonyms and those “‘too near alike.’

To aid in selecting certain colors, we submit the following key:

Should the name of some old favorite be missing, by referring-to its color class a similar and better variety may be selected.

Henderson’s cae Named Gladiolus

The modern Giadiolus are triumphs of the hybridizer’s art, new types and a legion of new varieties having been evolved that far surpass the favorites so prized a few years ago, in size and form of flower and varied coloring, comprising all imaginable colors, shades and variegations, from the most gorgeous and dazzling to the softest and most delicate tints. They deserve to be grown in every garden. For cutting they are invaluable, the flowers lasting in water a week. They are of easy culture, grow in any garden soil, never fail to flower the same season, and by successive plantings every two or tnree weeks, from April to June, can be had in flower from July until checked by frost.

The list of named Gladiolus offered on this and the succeeding pages comprises our choice in the fields after studying and comparing the merits of hundreds of varieties, consideration being given to healthy growth, size, form, coloring and substance of flowers, properly spaced and faced on strong, straight, upright spikes, etc. We therefore believe that this selection of up-to- date named Gladiolus is unsurpassable, containing as it does the best of Childsii, Ganda- vensis, Groff’s, Lemoine’s and Hybrid Sections. All old ‘“‘runout’’ inferior and ‘‘too-near-alike’’ varieties have been eliminated. A fair sized collection of these modern Gladiolus will afford a continuous succession of delightful surprises to the grower.

NOTE.—The Section or Type to which the varieties belong is indicated by the letters (C) for Childsii, (G) for Gandavensis, (Gf) for Groff’ 'S, (H) for Hybrid, (L) for Lemoine’s. The earliness or lateness of varieties is indicated by the succeeding numbers, 10, 11, 12, etc. Those marked ‘10’ bloom in ten weeks (67 to 73 days) from bulb planting. Those marked ‘‘12’’ bloom in twelve weeks (81 to 87 days). Those marked ‘14 bloom in fourteen weeks (95 to 101 days). Those marked ‘162’ bloom in sixteen weeks (109 to 115 days), etc.

our modern Roses were certainly never dreamed

of years ago. With the introduction of many new varieties each year the popu- larity of this flower is steadily increasing and much interest is being taken in the planting of Rose beds. To further stimulate this interest we have thought it well this season to call attention

to the satisfactory results that can be obtained by planting young Roses in the spring. We offer On this page a selected list of varietiés, young plants from 3-inch pots. The Everblooming sorts in Collection A should bloom freely this summer and make strong plants for next year. The Hybrid Perpetuals and Hardy Climbers should flower the following year. Our booklet “The Garden Cul- ture of the Rose,”’ which gives full detailed instructions on planting and care, will be sent free if asked for when ordering.

International Prize Amaryllis

Probably no plant attracted more attention at the Inter- national Flower Show, held in New York in 1913, than the collection of Amaryllis, Hybrids of Vittata, which received the prize. One was at once struck with the great wealth of blooms—dazzling scarlets, flaming crimsons, deep maroons, dainty pinks, magnificent whites with red stripes and others delicately shaded and superbly veined. We have obtained a choice collection of this wonderful strain, all being excep- tionally fine. The bulbs were potted and are now in growing condition. They should produce magnificent flowers next winter and spring following. The flowers are borne in clus- ters, they are trumpet shaped, 8 to 10 inches across, of great substance and last in perfection a long time. The flower spikes are from 2 to 3 feet high, the foliage is long and grace- ful. The plants should be allowed to rest during the late summer and fall months then started into growth in the winter.

One grower by that method gathered nearly 400 quarts from 500 plants set out in thespring; The quality is superb, the size is good, but not up to the The plants must not be allowed to suffer for water in the fruiting season and a mulch will be found to be of great advantage.

NEWER STRAWBERRIES

The Strawberries following were transplanted into cold frames in the fall, and if planted out any time before May 5th, will, under proper conditions, fruit some the present year.

ll the varieties offered are perfect flowering (bisexual) except where marked P or pistillate. The latter must have a row of a perfect flowering sort every nine or twelve feet to pollenize their blossoms.

CARDINAL. (P.) (Midseason.) The berries are large and beautiful, perfectly delicious. The plant is ideal, strong and vigorous. It is a pistillate variety.

CHESAPEAKE. (P.) (Midseason to late.) A splendid grower making just enough runners for a matted row. The plants root deeply, are vigorous and healthy, with large foliage. One of the best in flavor, shape, size, color and appearance. The berries when good and ripe are rather dark, like Marshall. They ship well and because of their fine color and exquisite flavor always command a good price.

CHIPMAN. (Second early.) Round- berries, uniform, large, beautiful color and splendid quality. A vig- orous, healthy grower. Fruit firm and an excellent keeper.

COMMONWEALTH. (Very late.) The berries are of the largest; and broadly cone- shaped and quite smooth; moreover it is very late.

CORSICAN. (Midseason.) A distinct variety. The ps dark crimson, rich and delicious flavor, large size and firm.

FENDALL. (P.) (Midseason to late.) A magnificent variety, berries rich red, smooth and glossy. In size the berries are not surpassed by those of any other variety grown, while the flavor is superior to that of most large Hae sorts. Growth vigorous, very deep rooting, season of fruiting very long.

FREMONT WILLIAMS. (Late.) A valuable late variety. The plants are healthy of. medium size, compact; berries are large and uniform, conical in shape and very firm. The surface color is a dark, glossy crimson, and that of the flesh, light red. The flesh is of fine texture and the flavor all that could be desired.

GREAT RUBY. (P.)_ (Midseason to late.) The healthy, vigorous growth, remarkable productiveness, size, uniform shape, deep crimson color, and, above all, the rich luscious flavor, combined with the delightful aroma tender Henderson’s ‘“‘Great Ruby” peerless among Strawberries.

HERITAGE. (Midseason to late.) A prodigious yielder—from mid-season

- until very late—of unusually large and beautiful berries of a dark shining

crimson color and round-tapering, conical shape. The flesh is solid, of fine texture and its delicious flavor is unsurpassed.

MISSIONARY. (Early.) This fine variety originated in Delaware. It is very early and very productive. The plants are large and vigorous. The berries are broadly conical and very uniform in shape and size; of a dark rich red and as glossy as if varnished. The flesh is firm, fairly juicy and

RELIANCE. -(Midseason.) This is a perfect flowered variety, ripens with the ‘‘Marshall’”’ and has along season. It is remarkably uniform in shape for such a large berry. The quality is unsurpassed, juicy, luscious, solid to the center, the flavor being what is generally known as ‘‘mild.’’ The color is dark crimson, very glossy and attractive, remarkably even all over.

SAMPLE. (P.) (Late.) This comparatively new and splendid variety is one of the very best late fruiting pistillate strawberries in cultivation. The plant is a large healthy grower making a great mass of roots, insuring it against both drought and frost. It is a big producer of very large roundish berries holding up well in size to the end of the strawberry season. The berries are of a rich dark red color clear to the center and of un- surpassed quality. :

SUCCESS. (Early.) The berries are of large globular form, slightly conical, and of a light bright scarlet; the flavor being always fine, mild, sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shipping, but this fact empha- sizes their superiority for the home garden. The plant is a vigorous, strong grower, free from rust and abundantly productive. ;

Lawn Mower

THE KING OF LAWN MOWERS

LIGHT RUNNING NOISELESS DURABLE

DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS

“Your ‘Henderson’ Mower proves better. than you claim for it. delight to use it and it is a great favorite with my neighbors.” : CLARENCE L. LERSCH NER, 20 Lotus Road, Ridgewood. N. J.

““T want to tell you how much I think of my 21-inch Henderson Ball Bearing Lawn Mower. I used it all of last season and have commenced using it again this spring and really think more of it every time I use it. With all its great culling surface it is remarkably easy of operation. We have a large lawn—but I cover the ground with it in a hurry, often mow it before breakfast with my Hender- son.” HiwACGS EL OIR: Va,

Gatesville, Texas.

Tt is @

“We have been using one of your 21-inch Henderson Mowers for the past five years, mowing aboul an acre of lawn at least once a week, and il has cost us just 75c. for repairs—a record any machine might be proud of.’

THE HENDERSON SELF-ADJUSTING BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER Supplied with either 5 or 8 bladed cutters

Upper illustration shows grass catcher attached

SELF-ADJUSTING LEAVES THE LAWN SMOOTH AND FREE FROM CORRUGATION

DRAW CUT ALWAYS SHARP

THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER is made without regard to cost—to be the best, most durable, and the easiest-working Mower on the market, and while the prices are necessarily a little higher than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs experienced with cheap Mowers. It is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects; the axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in self-adjusting ‘ball-bearing’? journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. The Mower is also built scientifically correct in other respects. The ‘‘draw- cut” principle corrects the defect in ‘“‘push cut’’ Lawn Mowers, and com- pletely reverses the old way of cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp edge of the Stationary Knife, which is the cutting knife, and is severed most easily, causing the mower to operate much more easily. It also prevents the mower from ‘‘bobbing up” in the rear, thus ensuring an evencut. The heavier the grass, the closer the mower clings tothe turf. It makes the mower self-sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across the edge of the stationary knife keeps it always sharp and prevents gouging. Where the ‘‘push cut’’ style of mower requires “‘sharpening’’ a dozen times, the Henderson Ball-Bearing ‘‘drawcut’’ mower will not need it once. Itisa strictly high class Mower, made from the highest quality of iron and steel. The castings are lathe-turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. We have so simplified the adjustments in our new Ball-Bearing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics will have no trouble in always keeping our Mower in fine cutting order for years and the lawn in uninjured condition.

THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, large, open non-clogging cylinder. The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers. The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of the Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with improved ‘‘grips’’ which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip.

Townsend’s ‘‘Triplex’’ Horse Lawn Mower Others

For large lawns, parks, golf courses, etc., it is a boon, cutting a swath over 7 feet (86 inches) wide; doing the work of two motor mowers at an eighth of the expense. The series of three mowers adapt themselves to uneven surface, mowing over ridges and through hollows as well as level ground. Simple, durable and light running. Easily drawn by one 2 horse——alll day long—and operated by any man capable of driving. |

With the Triplex Mower one man and one horse will cut more grass in a day than three men and three horses with three ordinary lawn mowers, and will cut as much grass as any two motor mowers, cut it better—without crushing the life out of soft turf—and at a small fraction of the cost.

The Triplex consists of three lawn mowers yoked together two abreast, and one follow- ing in the center, lapping each front mower, thus cutting a clear swath eighty- -six inches wide. As the three mowers work independently of each other, and are so connected from their centers to the main frame that they can swivel, rise and fall, they therefore adapt themselves to the contour of the ground—floating over ridges and down hollows —mowing the grass as perfectly as on the level, and better than is possible with a long straight-edged bottom knife mower of any kind.

On rolling ground the Triplex Mower shows its qualities to perfection, holding to a side hill where a motor mower will slide sidewise. It is of extremely light draught, due Dartly to ball bearings and partly to the excellence of design, material and work- mansbip.

Three levers at the driver's right enable him to lift any one or all of the cutting apparatus from the ground to avoid obstructions, or in going to and from the field. A small knob in the center of each wheel operates the clutch throwing the machines in and out of gear.

The mower is provided with a spring seat, ample foot rest, shafts, iron tool box with tools and oil can. Net weight, 600 lbs.

The mowers are packed singly in crates, the frame work is shipped assembled. It is only the work of ten minutes to assemble the machines and attach the shafts. Price, $250.00 net, F. O. B. New York. TOWNSEND’S ‘‘TRIPLEX’’ HORSE

The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Roller

The advantages of a roller, the weight of which can be increased or lightened at pleasure, can scarcely be over- estimated. Often on light or sandy soil, or on newly made lawns, orin early spring when the ground is moist, or after a rainy spell, a lighter-weight roller is a neces sity; then on thick sward or on hard soil, on walks and roads, a heavy roller is needed. Witha Hen- derson Water Ballast Roller one can secure any weight desired, between minimum and maxi- mum, by simply removing a thumb-cap from each end and filling the two hollow sections with as much water or sand as may be need- ed, which is easily and quickly done with a hose or through a funnel; and the roller is as

The Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder iin iii

Merely slip a cartridge for either purpose in the container, attach to the hose and water as usual.

This Kirke System of liquefying and applying in mild solution cartridges of concentrated fertilizers, insecticides or fungicides, through the hose while watering the garden and lawn, is a simple, practical and most efficient method. The Container is a nickel-plated durable brass affair, about 6 inches long by 21% inches in diameter with strainer in the outlet end; the top unscrews for the insertion of cartridge. It is fitted to couple to any 34-inch garden hose, either at the faucet or nozzle end. The cartridges—clean and odorless—have been compounded by an expert agricultural chemist and contain in concentrated slowly soluble form the various ingredients—strictly high grade and scientifically blended for the purposes designed, so that when the hose is turned on the cartridge gradually dissolves and impregnates the outflowing water with the proper proportion of plant food, insect destroyer or fungus remedy. Any cartridge (excepting the Bordeaux) may be quickly removed and replaced from

These are made of sheet ao galvanized and finished on the outside in green enamel. They. are very durable, rust proof and positively will not leak.

The crowning merit of these boxes, however, is the self- watering feature. This is accomplished by a false bottom below which the water is contained, it being poured in through a tube in the corner that projects from the rim to the bottom. The false bottom has holes in it in which are inserted small sponges. These absorb the water and it is drawn up by the Soil or Fibre keeping it evenly moist for a week or more before the water requires re- plenishing,.thus the plants do not dry out from neglect and thrive and bloom with unusual luxuriance.

Self-Watering Iron Hanging Pots

The ordinary hanging baskets are usually an abomination when it comes to watering them on account of the drip, in conse- quence they are often allowed to “dry out’’ to the detriment of the plants. The Self-Watering Hanging Pots ‘‘never leak a drop”’ and plants thrive in them grown in either Soil or Fibre, do not need water often. To water the plants simply remove the lower reservoir—a partial turn will do it—fill it with water and replace. The Soil or Fibre will soon absorb the needed moisture through a connecting sponge.

Our prices do not include chain. We will supply a solid brass chain for this purpose at 3c. per foot. In ordering chain, measure the distance from point of suspension to where you want the top of basket and order three times that amount.

It is cheap, lasts for several years, is easily fixed, easily removed at the end of the season; and takes up little space when not in use. It comes in 300 foot lengths which will be cut to suit purchasers into lengths not less than 25 feet. Price, 7c. per run- ning foot.

THE “SUCCESS” KNAPSACK SPRAYER AND BUCKET SPRAYER COMBINED

This valuable arrangement is used for applying Bordeaux Mixture and other fluid remedies in a mist-like spray, for the treatment of grapes and other vegetation, for the pre- vention and cure of mildew, black rot, potato blight and kindred diseases; with it a man can spray five to six acres of vines in a day. The machines are made entirely of copper and brass, and the chemicals will not corrode or rust them. The air chamber keeps up a steady pressure, so a continuous discharge is given. The Pump may be worked with either the right or left hand. The drip cup is just be- low the air chamber, and is made extra wide, so that any leakage around the plunger is returned into the tank and

_not allowed to run down the operator’s back. An attach-

ment is furnished for underspraying. This sprayer may be used either as a knapsack or bucket sprayer. To be used as a bucket sprayer the handle and the lever are re- moved and the extra handle with which the outfit is pro-

With the ‘‘V”’ nozzles, two rows of potatoes are dusted at one time, then there is a hood nozzle for cabbage worm dusting, it keeps the powder from escaping be- yond the head; then there is a curved nozzle for under dusting, and telescope nozzles to blow powder into tall trees—altogether it is the most complete and satisfactory powder dusting arrange- ment ever invented.

Prices Subject to Change Without Notice

We herewith offer the best fertilizers procurable for the various crops recommended, but all commercial fertilizers for 1916 will be shy in pot- ash, the source of supply having been shut in by the European war. Agricultural experts claim that most soils will retain sufficient potash for another year’s crop. However, we advise those of our patrons doubt-

Bone Bertilizers.

Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form excellent permanent improvement, less likely than any other fertilizer to waste. With bone there is no danger of burning the plants. Excel- lent for top-dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and field crops.

Quantity required. For lawns, pasture and mow- ing lands, 14 to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2104 quarts each. For field and garden crops, 3% to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., one part to about fifty of soil.

Raw Bone Meal. This is ground very fine, de- composes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.

Price, 1-lb. package, 10c. (mail weight 2 lbs.); 5-lb. package, 30c.; 10-lb. package, 50c.;] 25-lb. bag, $1.00; 50-ib. bag, $1.75; 100-lb. bag, $3.00; 200-Ib. bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $47.00.

Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and particularly adapted for general fertilizing; the finer particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period.

Price, per 100-Ib. bag, $3.00; 200-Ib. bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000-lbs., $47.00.

Blood and Bone

Henderson’s Worm- Killing Grass Food

Feeds the Grass and Eliminates the Worms.

Henderson’s Worm-Killing Grass Food not only stimulates the grass on lawns, putting-greens, tennis courts, croquet grounds, etc., into rich green growth but it quickly eliminates the earth or angle worms that burrow in the turf in almost unbelievable quantities, causing the soil to become sticky, sour and loosening it and the roots so that hot sun and dry weather cause the grass to turn yellow and die out in spots. More lawn troubles are traceable to earth worms than most people realize and we advise all whose grass is not as good as it should be to apply Henderson’s Worm-Killing Grass Food at the rate of 144 pound to a square yard during rainy weather or else water in thoroughly with a hose. The worms will then almost immediately come to the suface and die. For putting-greens it is invaluable, keeping them free from worm casts, level and true without the trouble and expense of daily brushing and rolling. It is used by many Golf and Country Clubs and on many private grounds in the|United States, and all users are gratified with the results. Henderson’s Worm-Killing Grass Food is a non-poisonous powder not injurious to animal or bird life. Its fertilizing properties while combined into a well-balanced grass food are not so strong but that it can safely be applied on grass according to directions at any season of the year. Use one pound for each two square yards. Though late in the season when the worms are deep in the ground the quantity may be increased.

“ Kindly book us for one ton of Henderson's Worm- Killing Grass Food for spring delivery. We take pleasure in advising that the sample ton from you last year was the means of thoroughly eradicating the worms wherever applied. It ts certainly the best preparation of its kind we have ever used.

W. S. THOMAS (Chairman Greens Com., Country Club of Glen Ridge), Glen Ridge, N. J.

_ “Was more than pleased with your Worm- Killing Grass Food. It is a sure exterminator of the angle worm. Our grass was very much improved in quality and evenness of surface by the use of it. Will place another order for it with you

next spring.” D. M. BLA NFORD, Silver Springs, Md.

FLUID WEED DESTROYER

enornsons WEED DESTROYER |

Destroys Weeds, Moss, Grass, etc., in Garden Walks and Carriage Drives.

It completely destroys all weeds, wherever applied, and by its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year afterwards, thus saving an immense amount of labor in hoeing; etc. For brick walks itisa boon. Its application is easy, being in a liquid form and only requiring to be mixed with water and applied with a watering can or sprinkling cart. If the ground is very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear water, so the Weed Destroyer will not soak away too quickly. Where large weeds and docks are to be des- troyed it is best to mow or chop off the tops first. Full directions for use with each package. (Not mailable.)

Quart Can makes 4 to 6 gallons, sufficient for 100sq.ft. $0.40 Gallon Can se 16 to 20 i 400 ‘ 1.15 5-Gallon Keg ie 80 to 100 ss ie BSS PANO) oe 5.00 50-Gallon Barrels ‘ 800 to 1000 5 * ** 20000 ‘* 38.00

* Your ‘Weed Destroyer’ is a boon to us here with our numerous garden walks and carriage drives to be kept clean and free of weeds. It used to be hoe, hoe, hoe, from morning till night, all summer long, but the last two seasons by sprinkling the walks thoroughly in the spring with your ‘Weed Destroyer’ diluted with water, it has kept the weeds and moss away and the walks in apple pie order.”

CHAS. McGRATH, Jr., Newton, Mass.

‘“Climax’’? Lawn Sand

A non-poisonous, dried chemical, which evenly distributed at about 4 ounces per square yard kills weeds by adhering to their broad flat leaves, but falling to the roots of the grass is absorbed by the soil and so fertilizes the fine grasses that a permanent growth quickly covers the portions previously occupied by weeds and moss.

Grass dressed with ‘‘Climax’’ Lawn Sand is thicker in growth, finer in texture and richer in color. It is marvelous how quickly the grass responds and how lasting the improvement. Price, 3% lbs., 50c. (Mail weight 4 lbs.); 7 |bs.,.75c. (Mail weight, 8 lbs.); will dress about 25 square yards; 14 lbs., $1.25: 28 lbs., $2.00; 56 lbs., $3.50; 1 cwt., $6.00.

HE wonderful popularity of this little gardening handbook has induced us to revise the earlier editions and add new and up-to-date matter, much of which has been suggested by our patrons from their questions and our answers accruing through our exteasive correspondence, many perplexing little points being covered that some one—and prebably many others—want to know that horticultural writers too ofte o omit. As one of our customers

expresses it: “‘ The big books on gardening are good as far as they go—but something I need to know is sure to be missing.

HENDERSON'S GARDEN GUIDE, though prepared for the amateur and novice, yet will be found most useful to the more experienced gardeners for ready reference. It is a booklet in convenient pocket form, with a waterproof cover, so that it may be taken right out in the garden where it will ofte bn come in handy in giving cultural directions and answering concisely, in simple language, the hundred and one gardening questions. The information given on the various subjects, while not exhaustive, is strictly up-to-date, and may be quic ly) found by glancing at the index. Another valuable feature is the blank pages for

making notes, such as the kind of vegetable, fruit or flower, date of sowing or planting, first product, continuity, quality, etc. In fact, many little records should be kept in it to refresh one’s mind regarding another season’s gardening operations.
