PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—VEGETABLE SEEDS 1 a ae ke ce id a * zB : HENDERSON’S TesT=D VEGETABLE SEEDS : as oe saat danakenanamebagaaaumenees
Home gardeners throughout America can contribute to victory by raising, as far as may be pos- sible, supplies of vegetables foods for the use of their families. As this food will be raised right on the spot, it will lessen the strain on the means of transportation, already taxed to the utmost limit. One result of the call to arms last year was that millions of Americans were transformed into gar- deners, with the happy result that fully $350,000,000 additional were added to our national wealth. The possibilities of your vegetable garden have not been by any means exhausted when you
have raised one crop of vegetables, and on the pages following will be found a list of seeds specially selected for summer sowing. THE FACT IS, YOU CAN DOUBLE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR _GARDEN AND RAISE A HOST OF GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE FROM NOW ONWARDS UNTIL FROST ENDS GARDEN OPERATIONS. It has been noted by a keen observer who travels much in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, that some of the thriftiest vegetable gardens are planted after June Ist. Many varieties of vegetables yield larger crops from summer sown seed, than from spring sown seed, because the weather prevailing at the time the young plants attain any size is exactly suited to their requirements, and they are able to grow and complete their development without check. Keep on sowing rows of Beets until August, as they are always welcome on the table, and store well for winter.
Plant Bush Beans now and at other times up to the Ist of September, and you will reap addi- tional harvests of sweet, tender pods. You can plant beans as late as July 25th and make the first pickings on Sept. 20th. Sow Sweet Corn every two weeks until July 15th. The early part of June is the time to sow Cabbage seeds for plants to set out for winter crop.
Now is the best time in all the year to sow seeds of root crops, such as Carrot, Beet, Turnip and Ruta Baga. Sow Ruta Baga in June and Carrot and Turnip in July. The young plants attain their true leaves when the weather is favorable to them, and grow right on without a check, conse- quently they are tender and palatable.
For your healths sake; do not omit to put in more rows of Lettuce, indispensable and necessary ineveryhome. Sow upto Aug.15th. Black Seeded Simpson and the curled varieties are the best to plant as they are great heat resisters. Don’t waste any ground, but in odd corners sow radishes. White Summer Turnip Radish and Early White Tipped Scarlet Turnip Radish succeed well at this time. Besides the varieties specially mentioned there are many other seeds which may be sown during the summer with every assurance of reaping bountiful crops and they are listed in the following pages of this catalogue. The varieties marked ‘‘early’’ should be chosen for late plants ings, because they mature more quickly than the varieties designated as ‘‘late.”’

HENDERSON'S TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS.
FOR SUMMER SOWING.
Henderson’s Black Valentine.
GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN.
Possesses all the merits of our old favorite Red Valentine, and the pod is fully one-third longer. In addition it has other valuable points. The pods are extra long, round, straight and tender, and of a beautiful soft green color. It is also equally early, but has another advantage in that it is more suit- able for late plantmng. In a test of the Extra Early Refugee, Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine and Black Valentine, conducted in the fall, we found that Black Valentine was fully as useful as Extra Early Refugee, being equally as hardy in every respect as the Refugee, while the beans were pro- duced in enormous quantities. For any purpose, or at any time of the year, the bean will be found exceedingly valuable to all classesof growers. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 45c. pt., 80c. qt., $3.00 for 4 qts.
“T claim that Henderson’s Black Valentine Bean is the champion of all the dwarf green-podded snap beans, for I have tested all the good varieties. The Black Valentine is the best for both early and late planting and will stand wet, cold weather. It is of the finest quality, easy to pick, and is the most productive bean on the market today, but they must be gathered at the right time.”’
S. E. THURSTON, New Canaan, Conn.
Detroit Dark Red Beet.
Probably the best of the larger sorts. It succeeds equally well at all seasons, and is one of the best to sow in early spring, to succeed the extra early and medium crop sorts. It may be sown about August Ist (in this vicinity) for a crop to store for winter. The flesh is solid, always tender, of good flavor and excellent color. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20 14 lb., $4.00 lb.

HENDERSON’S | Early Blood Turnip Beet.
This is a great im- provement upon the old standard variety, Early. - Blood Turnip Beet. It isa great favorite with many gardeners and is very attractive in ap- pearance, the roots being smooth and _ uniform, and the color deep blood red. The flesh is tender and sweet, and it is an excellent variety for canning.
This variety should be sown for a late crop on account of its quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is unexcelled. (See engraving).

FARM SEEDS
FOR SUMMER SOWING
Prices of Farm Seeds are subject to change without notice. Purchaser pays transportation on Farm Seeds. If wanted by Parcel Post add postage according to Zone rates on page 2 of cover.
MANGEL WURZEL and SUGAR BEETS.
The best soil for Mangels is friable loam deeply plowed
and in such soil the yield is from 20 to 30 tons per acre. The ground should be well enriched and the seed sown in drills 24 inches apart in light soil, and 30 inches apart in strong rich land. Thin out the plants to 9inches apart in the former and 12 inches apart in the latter. Sow 6 to 8 pounds of seed per acre if sown with a drill, or double that quantity if sown by hand.
Colossal Long Red (Henderson's). A valuable improved and distinct variety. Extra large, long roots; very nu- tritious. Price, 1% lb., 75c.;1b., $2.00; 10 lbs., at $1.90 lb.
Champion Yellow Globe (Henderson’s). Smooth large, round roots; yellow flesh. Price, 34 lb., 75c.;1b., $2.00; 10 lbs., at $1.90 lb.
Giant Intermediate (Henderson’s). Big yielder; hand- some, large ovoid roots. Price, % lb., 75c.; lb. $2.00; 10 lbs., at $1.90 lb.
Golden Tankard Flesh yellow, thus differing from other varieties; sheep prefer it; heavy yielder. Price, 34 l1b., 75c.; lb., '$2. 00; 10 lbs. at $1.90 Ib.

Long Yellow. Differs from the Long Red only in color. Price, 14 lb., 75c.; 1b., $2.00; 101bs., at $1.90 lb.
Yellow Globe. Large globular roots; good keeper.
4% 1b., 75c.; 1b., $2.00; 10 lbs. at $1.90 lb.
NEW HALF SUGAR MANGEL.
As seed of the different varieties of sugar beet is almost un- procurable this season, we would recommend planting for stock feeding the improved breed of New Sugar Mangel offered below.
This is distinctly a new variety of Mangel, and is the result of careful interbreeding between White Sugar Beet and Colossal Long Red Mangel. It certainly approaches nearer to a Sugar Beet than any other known variety of Mangel, and by analysis it has been shown that it is very rich in saccharine matter. Its growth is very rapid, so that it matures much more quickly than other varietes, and on that account it may be sown at a later date. The bulb is very uniform, of good shape, and has a single taproot. When sing- ling it may be left much more closer in the rows, than larger growing Mangels, and it will yield remarkably heavy crops.
Half Sugar Red, per %1b., 75c.;1b., $2.00; 10 lbs., $1.90 lb.
Half Sugar White, per %ZIb., 75c., 1b., $2. 00; 10 lbs., $1.90 1b.
RUTA BAGA, RUSSIAN OR SWEDISH TURNIPS
The Ruta Baga is important for stock feeding purposes and can be sown quite late. It grows very rapidly and yields from 25 to 35 tons per acre, in good rich deep soil, with proper cultivation. The Ruta Baga proper should be sown in this latitude from May 25 to June 25. If sown then, it should be in rows, 30 inches apart, and the plants thinned with a hoe to 12 or 14 inches apart, but if sown a month later, the distances between the rows and between the plants may be 8 inches. Sow 2 or 3 lbs. per acre.
Long Island Improved Purple-Top. It is perfectly hardy, and produces almost twice the weight per acre of any other variety. $3.00 per Ib.
Improved American (Purple-Top.) Very hardy and pro- ductive; flesh yellow, solid, sweet and fine-flavored; equally good for stock or table use. $2.50 perlb.
Large White French. Flesh firm, white and solid; size, and has a very rich flavor. $2. 50 per Ib.
MILLET FOR SUMMER SOWING.
Millets are valuable as ‘‘catch”’ or ‘‘stolen’’ crops, especially in seasons when the hay crop is short. They are annuals and grow rapidly, usually being ready for cutting in six weeks from seed sowing. They withstand sev ere droughts, when other crops are parched up. If cut when in blossom, millets cure into excellent hay; if allowed to ripen they become too woody. Sow from May Ist to August Ist.
Hungarian Millet. Is the quickest of catch crops for hay, and may be sown any time up to middle of August; it is invaluable for overcoming a shortage of the regular hay crop. Many farmers now occupy their land with other crops, and for their hay depend entirely on Hungarian Grass, which they can sow after other crops have been harvested. Sow 1 bushel per acre. Price $6.00 bushel of 48 lbs.; 10 bushels and upwards. $5.90.
Golden Millet. This variety is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a much heavier crop, but is later and not so quick growing, consequently cannot be sown after thefourthof July in this latitude. Ourseed is specially selected. Sow one bushel peracre. $6.00 bushel of 50 lbs.; 10-bushels and upwards, $5.90 bush. (See engraving.)
Japanese Millet. Entirely distinctfromany other Millet, grows 6 to 8 feet high and ay tongs an enormous crop, y ield- ing 10 to 12 tons green dder per acre. When cured it
Price,

makes excellent hay, and is much relished by all kinds of stock, whether green or Snes! Cure as you would a heav ry crop of clover. This Millet does not endure drought well, but north of Washington we confidently recommend its gen- eral cultivation.
Sow from the middle of May to the 1st of July, broadcast at the rate of 15 lbs. per acre, but itis better to sow it in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, and hoed between the rows to keep down all weeds, until the plant attains a height of 12 to 18 inches, when tts rapid growth will smother all weeds. Price, 15c.1b., 10 1bs. $1.20, 100 lbs. $10.00.
SAND OR WINTER VETCH. Vicia Villosa. rfectl hardy, remaining green all winter. It should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rye, which serv res asa support for the plants, or in Spring with Oats or Barley.
It grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet and is the earliest crop for cutting, being a month earl ier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for pl lanting Spring crops. It is exceedingly nutritious, and may be fed with safety to ali kinds of stock.
Sow one bushel per acre with one-half eee of Rye or Wheat. Price, 40c. lb., $21.75 bushel of 60 Ibs. 100 lbs. $35.00.
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT.
Introduced into cultivation by us in 1887. Jones has superseded all others and is now almost universall grown in preference to the common black and Silver Hu il varieties. Flour made from it is greater in quantity and equal in quality, if not superior to that of any other Buck- wheat. It ripens a week earlier than Silver Hull and yields two or three times as much. Price, $1.25 a peck, "$4.00 per bushel of 48 lbs., 10 bushel lots, $3.90 per bushel.
HENDERSON’S RECLEANED CRIMSON
OR SCARLET CLOVER FOR SUMMER SOWING
All lands from which crops have been harvested during the Summer and Fall should be sown with Scarlet Clover, plowing under the following Spring. Authorities who have made a careful estimate, state that plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre.
It may be sown among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at time of last hoeing, or after potatoes, melons, cucumbers have been harvested, or on grain stubble and harrowed in.
When sown in July and early in August, it has proved hard} as far North as Michigan and Canada. New York, time of sowing may extend from July 15t tember Ist, and further South even later. Sow ss Ibs. per Price, choice recleaned highest quality,

HENDERSON’S SPECIAL
GRASS SEED MIXTURE
FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE
The fall season is especially favorable tothe growth of young grass, for at that season the seeds have the benefit of thorouzhly warmed ground and a copious rainfall, which hastens germination and enables the grass to become firmly established before winter
Sets in. prevents weeds from obtaining a foothold.
Then, on the opening of spring, the zrass immediately recommences its growth and taking full possession of the ground,
FOR HAY AND
Henderson's S ecial Grass Seed Mixture PERMANENT PASTURE. | p
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 various parts of the United States, with most gratifying results. It is a well-balanced combination of a number of native and acclimated 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 being 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 nourish- ing, whether used as hay 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 Farmer’s 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 without a grain crop, should accompany each order. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Full directions for sowing enclosed in every bag. (See engraving.)

REGARDING CLOVERS.
Do not omit to sow Clovers with the Grasses, as they add to the yield of hay and pasture, and by their ability to collect atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the root nodules, assist the growth of the Grasses and are of considerable benefit to subsequent crops. :

THE HENDERSON “sxiizanino LAVVN MOWER.
THE KING OF LAWN MOWERS.
LIGHT RUNNING, NOISELESS — DURABLE.
SELF ADJUSTING, DRAW CUT. ALWAYS SHARP. DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS. Leaves the Lawn Smooth and Free from Corrugation.
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER is made without regard to cost—to be the durable, and the easiest-working Mower on the market, and while the prices are necessarily a little
best, most higher than those
of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repdirs
experienced with cheap Mowers.
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, large,
open non-clogging cylinder.
The spiray
of the knives is COSTECEY proportioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shav red entirely free
al
Henderson’s Border and Terrace Mower.
Especially designed to cut the grass on borders—the nar- row strips of sod sometimes only a few inches wide—between flower beds and walks where a side-wheel mower would have one wheel down in the gutter, and in consequence the mower
would cut into the sod. In our Border Mower a large light
cylinder extends the full width of the mower and keeps the machine level with the surface and does perfect work. This machine is also useful for regular lawn work. It is very light running, and will give thorough satisfaction.

The Philadelphia “All-Steel’” Lawn Mower.
This all-steel, Style A, Philadelphia mower is about the last word in lawn mower construction, The frame, being made of steel in place of cast iron, is much lighter, stronger and notliableto break any place. The drive wheels, 10 in. in diameter, gives great traction power and spin the 4-bladed 6%-in. revolving cutter with great speed, thus leaving a smoothly cut surface. The train of three gears keeps the cutters down to their work and prevents ‘‘bobbing up”’ 1n high grass.

An old reliable lawn mower for those preferring a roller mower which, of course has some advantages over side-wheel mowers, aS in mowing new lawns where the ground is still soft and impressionable, cutting marrow borders, where a side-wheel machine will run off the edge, rolling down worm casts, ant hills, etc.; but to offset these merits, roller mowers do push a little harder. Excelsior Roller Mowers are dur- ably made with best crucible steel knives and the adjust- ments are simple and with the 4-bladed revolving cutter is adapted for all lawn cutting. The 6-bladed cutter is for extra fine work and for golf courses, tennis courts, etc., but runs harder.

‘The New Improved Henderson Horse Lawn Mower.
IT IS A HORSE LAWN MOWER AND ROLLER COMBINED
We consider this to be the best horse power Lawn Mower on the market. It is simple in construction and very durable, the best steel and iron being used in its manufacture, and it is finished in the most perfect manner.
A lever beside the driver enables him to cut grass any height, high or low from the ground and to easily and quickly raise the blades over stones or other obstruction without stopping the horse or leaving his seat. A slight movement of a small lever throws the mower in or out of gear without stopping. The side draft rod is attached to the left side of the mower keeping the horse on the cut grass, and preventing the trampling down of the grass which is to be cut. The revolving knives, five in num- ber, are ‘‘high speeded,’’ making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of the lawn as smooth as velvet. The rollers, three in number, 15 inches in diameter, with triple pawls in each roll make the most powerful and instantaneous drawing mechanism ever putinalawn mower. This feature maintains the motion of the blades even when turning sharp corners, a great advantage over other double roll mowers whose knives have no motion when turning corners. The self-aligning journal boxes are a very valuable improvement and prevent cramping of the journals, a very common and dangerous fault in many horse mowers. The foot rest is spacious and prevents cramping of limbs and accidents through the feet slipping into the revolving cutters.
These mowers will weigh, including shafts and driver, 600 to 700 pounds, thereby rolling the lawn at the same time it is cutting; or the cutter may be thrown out of gear, and the machine used for rolling alone.

The latest and best machine for trimming grass close up to the fence or wall, thus reducing hand work with shears toa minimum. It willalso be found handy for trimming up around trees, under bushes, etc. It cuts 6 inches in width. This Lawn Trimmer is a high-grade machine in every
respect with self- adjusting ball bearings. Price, $6.50. Z mm : THE PENNSYLVANIA
ROTARY LAWN RAKE.
This is virtually a revolving lawn comb, having flexible steel wire teeth which go between the blades of grass and comb out all dead grass, crab grass, leaves, sticks and other rubbish. It leaves the grass standing upright. The action of the three revolving rakes raises up the creeping crab grass and other low growing weeds so the lawn mower can cut them before going to seed, thus effectually ridding the lawn of annual weeds. It has adumpable collecting box. Price, 24-in. machine, $24.00; 36 in.,$35.00.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN AMERICA ARE MADE
BY SOWING THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED,
THE ‘‘HENDERSON”’ LAWN GRASS SEED produces a perfect and enduring lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely interwoven, firm, elastic turf, and is often ‘‘ready for mowing four weeks from sowing.’’ This cele- brated Lawn Grass is composed of fine -leaved deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, that flourish under our varied conditions, so that a deep green, smooth, and velvety sward, free from clumps, is maintained from snow to snow, year after year, and without burning brown in summer.
THE QUANTITY REQUIRED for making new lawns is 5 bushels yee acre, or for renovating old lawns, 1 to2 bushels. Fora plot 15x20, or square feet, 1 quart is required for new, or 1 pint for renovating old lawns. Full instructions i in every package and bag.

The McIntosh Lawn Cultivator.
A new and splendid invention for improving and repairing lawns, putting greens, grass tennis courts, etc. It pushes as easily as a lawn mower, cutting narrow almost invisible grooves in the turf 34 of an inch apatt (of by removing every other knife 1% inches apart) and 34 to 2 inches deep as set over a 12-inch strip as fast as a man can walk. This enables seed broadcasted either before or after it to be brushed or rolled in to the loosened soil in the grooves where the grass can germinate and get a root hold and not be dried out, washed or blown away as too often is the case when grass seed is merely broadcasted over a non-scari- fied turf. There are 16 knives, 51% inches long made of the finest Sheffield steel. They are perfectly straight, easily removed for sharpening and adjustable to take up the wear until only 2 or 3 inches long when they may be quickly replaced by a new set. These knives slant backwards making a draw cut which does not disturb thin sod nor tear it up and expose the roots as often happens when a scarifying rake is used.
It is not necessary to cut into the turf deeply, just enough pres- sure should be given to cut through the grass mat. Price $25.00.
‘Please send at once one more McIntosh Lawn Cultivator. Have used the one purchased this spring with great success and think they

The Skinner “Lawn Mist’ I[rrigator.
This is virtually the famous ‘‘Skinner Irrigation System’’ on wheels. It is therefore portable and may be placed and moved anywhere on the lawn orin the garden where it can be connected to the garden hose. It waters a large area with but little attention and the water is distributed evenly and gently in a fine spray. The Skinner Lawn Mist Irrigatorisa length of galvanized pipe in which are fitted about every three feet apart, clusters of small spray nozzles so arranged that the distribution of water is entirely uniform the entire length of the pipe—and over a width of from 16 to 20 feet accord- ing to the volume and pressure of the water supply.. A 12 foot section ot pipe is fitted to 5 sets of nozzles, an 18 foot section to 6 sets of spraying nozzles. A 15 foot length oper- ating under a 30 1b. pressure will distribute about 5 gallons of water per minute, other lengthsin proportion. The Skinner “‘Lawn Mist”’ Irrigator works best with a water pressure of 301bs. or more though very satisfactory results are given with pressure aslow as 20 lbs. Each section is fitted to a neat 2-wheel truck at one end and a shoe runner at the opposite end. Coupled for 34 hose. Price, per 15 foot section, $13.50; 18 foot section, $15.00.

14 PETER HENDERSON & CO.; NEW YORK—LAWN SPRINKLERS
HENDERSON'S 4-ARM and 8-ARM LAWN SPRINKLERS.
This is the best lawn sprinkler made. It can be attached to hose and placed anywhere on the lawn where it serves the double purpose of a beautiful fountain and of thoroughly saturating the grass or garden. The water is distributed in fine drops over an area of 60 to 100 feet in circum- ference, according to the water pressure. Anornamentalstandard, about four feet high, is surmounted withlong perforated arms, which revolve, so the beautiful sprays are constantly changing. (See engraving.)
Prices, 4-arm sprinkler, $4.00; 8-arm, $4.50;
Ball and Basket Attachment, extra, $4.00. This fits on the top of the Henderson sprinkler and the stream of water keeps the silvered ball danc- ing on its summit upin the air. When the ball falls the basket catches it, and it rolls into the center and is again raised by the water.
The ‘Water Witch” Lawn Sprinklers.
An effective device for sprinkling lawns, gardens or flower beds. The water is divided and deflected by the two lips of the swivel piece, which causes it — to revolve rap- idly scattering the water in fine drops and even- ly over a circular area of 25 to 40 feet diameter. It works more satisfactorily with a very’ low pressure of water than any sprinkler we know of. (See engraving.)

EL FLO CONTINUOUS HEATING CAPPING STEEL.
The solution to sealing problems. To the defective sealing by improperly heated tools is attributed the greater per cent. of loss in canned goods—thus the ever- ready, evenly heated capping steel will in- sure you against chance. Five cents worth of gasoline will run the EL-FLO heater a whole day—sealing more than 1,000 cans —limited only by the speed of the operator.
A blue flame plays continuously on the steel, keeping a nice uniform heat the whole day through. It is light, neatly finished, compact, convenient and never requires any “tinning’”’ or ‘‘fluxing’’. Perfectly safe, and
is as simple and easily operated as a
lamp. No experience whatever is needed === to do perfect and rapid sealing from the =Sbeginning. Three styles and made in all sizes. The heat is applied on either side, top or interior of steel. : i EL-FLO continuous Heater, with cap- EL FLO CAPPING ping steel “‘tinned,’’ key and pump, any

SELECTED STRAINS OF PANSY SEEDS FOR FALL SOWING.
HENDERSON’S MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSIES
Have been famous many years for their superior size, perfection of form, mavelous diversity of colorings, superb markings as well as for robust plant growth—deep rooting frost and heat resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. (See engraving). Mixed Colors, 15c. per pkt., 2 pkts. for 25c. 60c. per 1000 seeds.
HENDERSON’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 “sathered’’ to the stem, causing them to be undulated and fluted from center to circumference, not unlike ‘‘frilled’’ velvet. They are nearly all five-blotched and contain rich combinations of coloring. Mixed Colors. Pki.15c. 2 pkts. for 25c. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c.
HENDERSON’S MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES.
Distinguished by 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 which is thrown a cobweb-like net- ting of yet another hue. The combinations are composed of shades of cinnamon, violet, canary, orange-yellow, black, garnet, light blue, indigo, cream, etc. Mixed Colors. P2At. 15c. 2 pkts. for 25c. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR GIANT TRIMARDEAU PANSIES.
Years of scientific culture, hybridization and selection in raising Pansies have gradually evolved a superior race of luxuriant, robust growth and deep-rooting, drought-with- standing qualities; the flowers have also correspondingly improved in size, substance, form and colors.

HENDERSON’S COLLECTION OF 12 GIANT PANSIES
This collection contains one packet each of 12 large and beautiful Pansies. Price, 75c.
WORLD RECORD PANSIES. Hardy Early-Flowering.
_ This new race of pansies promises to be an important introduction on account of the extreme hardiness of the plants and in consequence their earliness in flowering. With slight protection, such as meadow hay, straw or similar material, full grown plants winter over in the open ground— even in very cold latitudes—and commence flowering in early spring with the Snowdrop and Crocus, or from four to six weeks earlier than other pansies. In fact, we gathered flowers several times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay. They are sweetly perfumed.

New Giant riowerng Spencer Sweet Peas.
Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier than the Late Spencers, and Under Congenial Conditions Flower Continuously for 4 months.
The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vig- orous growth, profuse and bloom continuous for about four months, grown under congenial conditions. Grown in the open ground they begin flowering in about 106 days from seed sowing or fully four weeks sooner than late flowering Sweet Peas sown at the same time, and they continue to flower in profusion for fully 4 months. It is predicted by Sweet Pea authorities that this race will supplant all other early and late flowering Sweet Peas for winter flowering under glass, and also for open ground culture in_our Southern States--sown preferably in fall or winter. Condensed cul- tural instructions for both garden culture under northern and southern conditions and for winter flowering under glass are given in Henderson's leaflet ‘‘How to Grow Sweet Peas to Perfection”’ free to customers.

JAPAN IRIS. (Iris Kaempferi.
These comparatively new Iris are magnificent. They differ from the German group in possessing fibrous roots, much more slender parallel leaves, and flat expanded flowers, which are minus the crest of hair or beard seen on the German Iris.
The flowers average 8 to 10 inches across and flash like watered silk in the sunlight. The prevailing colors are white, crimson, lilac, lavender, violet and blue; each flower usually possessing several shades of its particular color, and a golden yellow blotch encircled by a halo of blue or violet at the base of the petals much intensifies the colorings. There are very few denizens of the flower garden that can compare with the Japan Iris for brilliancy, and it is worthy of a prominent place in every garden.
The Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows readily in almost < iy situation, either sunny or partially shady; but the soil should be moist and the plants well supplied with water when flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June and throughout July, coming into bloom when other Irises are faded and gone, which to most flower lovers is an additional recommendation. The Iris plant is usually propagated by division of the roots, and this should be done in the fall of the year, so that the plants may be well established before winter. After the ground freezes over a light mulch of litter or manure will prevent heaving of the ground and a consequent loss of plants. Ready September to November.

We can deliverall the bulbs and roots offered in this catalogue at the proper time for planting as they are American grown.

HENDERSON’S
. MODERN HERBACEOUS PEONIES.
A SELECTION FROM THE WORLD’S NEWEST AND BEST VARIETIES. (See illustration opposite page 32.)
OUR DEPARTURE IN OFFERING PEONIES: It is the rule among most sellers of Peonies to send out divided roots, that is older plants cut into several 3 to 5 crowned roots. These of course can be sold at a lower price, but all Peony pur- chasers should know that normal flowers of maximum size will not be produced on these divided roots for two or three years. As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more and get older undivided roots therefore we are offering roots of 1, 2, and 3 years growth from the divided stage. These according to age, will give a greater quantity of bloom the succeeding summer if planted between September lst and November Ist.
(PRICE EACH (purchaser paying expressage). For shipment September ist to November 15th.
