TRIAL GROUND Is OUR COMPASS.

It is the guide which shows us what is right, and what is wrong, and enables us to carry out the time-honored Henderson policy of ‘‘ Purity of Type’ and

““ Quality of Stocks.”

The founder of our house PETER HENDERSON—began his business life as a market gardener and upon that foundation built the great seed business that bears his name.

He recognized, as none but those conversant with the business of growing for the market can, the great importance of supplying “‘ true-to-type’’ seeds of the highest quality and of improved strains, to the Market Gardener and Florist.

This policy is regarded as the keystone of the business by his successors—Charles Henderson, his son, the present head of the house, and his grandsons, Peter Henderson and Howard M. Henderson.

In order to carry out this work efficiently we annually conduct at our Trial Grounds probably the most extensive tests ever undertaken by a seed house in America. These Trial Grounds—partial views of which we illustrate on this page—are situated on the Hudson Boulevard, Jersey City, and at Hackensack, N. J., and are about 60 acres in extent. Ourcareful and painstaking methods

during a long series of years have caused the name ‘“‘ Henderson” to become indissolubly linked with all that is best in seeds; because our constant purpose has always been, and will continue to be, to supply to our customers, choice seeds of the best, selected strains for market purposes. The result of this policy has been, that each and every one of our customers has become, in his own locality, a standing advertisement and reference, as to the quality of our seeds,and gained for us an ever-widening circle of patrons and friends. Our stocks are now complete, and with the greatest confidence we solicit

your continued patronage. Sincerly yours,

“ | President.

PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK

EXPERIENCED GROWERS PRAISE Bm ENDEROONG LIMA BEANS.

“For some years I have made a spec- talty of growing Pole Lima Beans, and have bought everything offered by the different seedsmen of the country, I have never found anything to compare with Henderson's Lima for size, yield and quality. At the rate my last year's crop yielded, I believe I can easily produce three hundred dollars worth on one acre of land.—F.S.WHITE, St. Louts,Mo.

“T am more enthusiastic now about Henderson's Leviathan Bean than ontts introduction. It has provena bonanza to northern planters, where the Lima season is short, as its earls- ness and productiveness assure @ safe and sure crop,'’—W. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y.

HENDERSON'S BEST BEETS For Market Gardeners

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN BEET.

One of the best for the first open ground crop. The tops are medium in size, the root round and slightly flattened. The flesh is strongly marked in two shades of red. It bunches w ell, and is of good quality. This variety produces a proportion of pale- fleshed roots. These have lighter-colored tops and may be taken out when thinning. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 0z., 30c. ¢ lb., $1.00 Ib.

HENDERSON'S EXTRA EARLY ELECTRIC BEET.

With the utmost confidence we urge the use of Electric for earliest crops, it is not only early, but superior in every respect. The short, slender tops grow so erect, that it takes less room than any other sort. It is supplanting other sorts as a greenhouse crop. Large areas are sown in frames very early in spring, and the frames removed to mature the crop. The roots are round, smooth, clean and of fine color. It makes-a perfect bunch and the quality is excellent. Price, 15c. oz., 40c. ¢ 1b., $1.25 lb.

ECEIRSESBEET-

One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young it may be bunched, but is also used as a basket beet, and is known and sells freely on every market. It is medium in size, tops small for size of root, outer color dark, the flesh strongly ringed in two shades of red. Price, 10c. 0z., 30c. + 1b., $1.00 Ib.

FOR OUR COMPLETE LIST OF TABLE BEETS, SEE PAGE 21.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 3

TABLE BEE TS—Continued.

DETROIT DARK RED BEET.

A very fine variety for main crop, late, and winter use. The tops are small and erect. The root is of medium size, uniform in shape and smooth. The quality is ex- cellent, and the color both inside and out dark red. It is not much used for bunching; but as a basket crop, or for winter storage, it is unexcelled. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 0z., 30c. } lb., $1.00 lb.

EARLY MODEL BEER.

A splendid variety of English origin, perfect for table use. Itis medium early and the roots are of good size, perfectin shape, round, with small dark crimson-colored leaves, and a slimtap-root. In quality and color it is peerless, very fined grained, tender and sweet, never woody or stringy. Color of both skin and flesh deep rich blood-crimson, equalling that of the best long beets. Its attractive appearance should make it very salable and its superb quality will hold customers. Price, 15c. 0z., 40c. ales, $1.25 |b.

HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL.

Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage.

ee GROWN a 1847--STILL THE BEST IN ae INTRODUCED BY PETER HENDERSON.

For 67 years this famous variety has been a winner: wherever grown. ‘There is no need to describe it, for it is well known 1n every market throughout the land. We need only assure those who have not used our own original stock that it is better, earlier, and more popular today than ever, and a sure money maker. (See cut.)

New Early Market Cabbage.

The Best Early Round-Headed Cabbage.

(Must be sown early in spring. Fall-sown Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 0z., $1.00 1 1b., $3.50 Ib. : plants wintered over are liable to run to seed.) Early Market Cabbage has every quality which gives value Charleston Wakefield Cabbage.

Where the market demands a Cabbage of greater size than Jersey Wakefield, we strongly urge the use of Charleston. It is a few days later, but 50% larger, and the head more blunted at the peak. This has been on the market for many years, and has given great satisfaction everywhere. The quality is very fine. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 ¢ lb., $3.50 lb.

to a Cabbage for early use. It is ready a few days after Jersey Wakefield, and well suited to succeed that variety.

The outer leaves are so small and few that the plants may

be safely set as close as 21 inches apart. The stem is short,

the head round, solid and of good quality. It trims with little waste, and is a perfect shipper. It heads up so evenly

that we believe it possible to cut a whole field at one time. Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. 0z., $2.50 + lb., $8.00 lb.

RENEESONS Early Spring Cabbage.

A ROUND FLAT-HEADED, EXTRA EARLY.

Many markets require a flat Cabbage at all seasons. Not only has Early Spring met this demand, but it produces such an enormous crop and so early in the season, that it is relied upon by hundreds of growers for their first crop. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 0z., $1.00 { lb., $3.50 Ib.

Henderson’s Early Summer Cabbage. THE BEST SECOND EARLY CABBAGE.

By continued careful selection we have made this famous old variety better than ever. Every undesirable feature has been bred out of it, and it is grown today more largely than ever. It is fit for use right after the very early sorts, and fills the gap between these and Succession perfectly. The heads are of medium size, flat, round, very solid, trims up neat, and looks well on the load, and on the stand. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20 + lb., $4.00 lb.

PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.

FIENDERSONS SUCCESSION CABBAGE

THE MOST DEPENDABLE CABBAGE GROWN.

Beyond doubt Succession is the best Cabbage of its class; it is not too much to say that it is the best all around variety in existence. Given ordinary conditions, it may be absolutely relied on to produce larger, better, and more salable heads than any other sort. The heads are enormous in size, extremely solid, remarkably uniform in shape,.and none sells better. It grows well either in spring, summer or fall, and its table quality is unsurpassed. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.25 z lb., $4.50 Ib.

IT IS POPULAR IN EVERY MARKET AND ALWAYS SELLS READILY.

The Saginaw Reality Co., Ltd., Saginaw, Mich., writes ‘‘ We have shipped many car-load lots west of the Mississippi river, as far south as Texas and New Orleans, and as far east as New York.”

UNDER ALL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IT IS SUPERIOR, AND PARTICULARLY DURING DROUGHT. _ £E. G. Kinsell, Green Spring Furnace, Md., writes ‘* Every plant made a fire head, notwithstanding prolonged drought.’ Henry Backus, South Livonia,

N. Y., says “‘ The past dry season demonstrated the superiority of Succession Cabbage." IT IS ADAPTED TO THE GREATEST EXTREMES OF LATITUDE. B. M. Laughl Henry Decie, G ton, Tex., writes “‘ Your Succession Cabbage is the best for Galveston Island. A. V. P. Day, Buena Vista, Colo., says ‘* Succession Cab- bage excels all for this altitude (7600’).”

AT ALL SEASONS IT PRODUCES THE BEST CROPS. Cyrus Williams, Minnesota Junction, Wis., says “‘ Succession Cabbage was

very early."" B. R. Fakes, Ocala, Fla., says ‘‘ The Succession that I got of you tn the fall was fine.”

ITS HEADING ABILITY IS BEYOND DOUBT SUPERIOR TO ALL M. E. Diffenbaugh, Tyrone, Pa., says ‘‘ Every plant will head.” C. C. Murphy and Sons, Brookland, D. C., says ** Every plant became a fine head.”’

2, Olympia, Wash., says ‘‘ It all heads, and all are large heads.”’

THE ENORMOUS, SYMMETRICAL HEADS PRODUCE GREAT WEIGHT PER ACRE.

S. D. Hayward, Norwich, N. Y., says, “I have raised Succession to average 15 lbs. trimmed.” Hugh McKinney, Tully, N. Y., says ‘‘ This ts a Cabbage country here, but Succession beats them all.’ Miss Josie Flemming, Laddonta, Mo., writes ** Heads weighed 23 lbs.”’

THE PROFITS ON A CROP OF SUCCESSION ARE SURE.

Earle W. Smalley, Muscatine, Iowa, says “‘ Your Succession Cabbage got highest prices in county." E. V. Thompson, Loutsville, Ky., says ““ Succession was the most profitable Cabbage I grew.”

SUCCESSION CABBAGE TO BE TRUE MUST COME FROM THE

ORIGINATORS.

John Palliser, Campbellford, Ont., says ‘‘ I cannot get true Succession Cabbage

outside of your establishment.”

HENDERSON’S AUTUMN KING CABBAGE.

This is one of the finest late varieties grown. The head is of great size, and differs from other large sorts in shape, which, instead of being flat, is almost round. Its keeping quality is remarkable, coming out of the pit in spring as clean and bright as when put away in the fall. Price, 35c. oz., $1.25 { lb., $4.60 Ib.

DANISH BALL-HEAD CABBAGE.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR STRAIN.

When this type of Cabbage first appeared we foresaw its popularity, and took pains to secure samples of the various types. After exhaustive trials we decided to grow from one strain only, and the success that has come to all who have grown it, proves the wisdom of our selection. The plant is strong, erect, stands well, and heads up evenly. The trimmed head is almost round, and has more weight for its size than any other sort. Price, 25c. 0z., 85c. }1b., $3.00 1b.

NOTE ___ This peerless variety is so well knowa and so much sought after, that many firms are offering A ‘‘ SUCCESSION” CABBAGE. We have tested many of these and find some entirely

untrue and others of inferior strains.

Be sure to get our highly bred and selected genuine type, which is procurable only direct from us—PETER HENDERSON & CO.

A. J. PRATT, Bow River Gardens, Calgary Canada.

HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER.

None of our Seed Crops are grown with greater care than our Snowball Cauliflower. We have been amply repaid for this, for during our entire experience we have never received a well- founded complaint against the quality of our stock, nor have we known it to fail to come up to its standard. On the contrary, we constantly receive letters testifying to its excellence, and the continuous and increasing demand from the most expert and critical growers for our stock, in preference to all others, clearly demonstrates its superiority.

(See cut.) Price, 25c. pkt., $3.00 oz., $11.00 + lb., $44.00 Ib.

Pleased Customers Tell of their Success.

MAY BE MARKETED EARLY AND LATE WITH EQUAL SUCCESS.

Mrs. Gertrude L. Goodwin, Roy, Wash., ‘‘ We had Cauliflower very late. We used our last early in Jan.’ W. L. Sparks, Cripple Creek, Colo., ‘‘ Snowball Cauliflower gave great satisfaction. No other can equal it for earliness."’

CAN BE RELIED ON TO PRODUCE HEADS OF SALEABLE SIZE.

J. E. Thrift, Bristow, Okla., ‘“‘ My patch of Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower averaged over 5 lbs. each.”’

THE CROP PER ACRE IS ABUNDANT, PROVING ITS SURE HEADING 3 QUALITY. Walter Knoph, Ramsey, N. J., says ‘‘ From 2 ozs. of seed I grew over 120 bbls. of fine Cauliflower.”

BEWARE OF INFERIOR STOCKS, ESPECIALLY AT LOW PRICES. W. E. Avery, Honesdale, Pa., writes ‘‘ I have had several strains of Henderson's Cauliflower from different seedsmen, but believe I never had the true type.”

COMMANDS THE TOPMOST PRICES IN EVERY MARKET. A. D. Key, Sanford, Fla., ‘‘ Four ounces of your Snowball Cauliflower seed produced over 400 baskets of flowers, which sold at $4.50 per basket.”’

IN COMPETITION AT FAIRS IT IS A SURE PRIZE WINNER. J. D. Russell, St. Paul, Minn., says “‘I succeeded in getting first prize with Snowball at town and county shows for three years in succession.

DVVARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER.

Henderson’s Superb Strain.

While the famous Henderson’s Early Snowball is beyond any question the finest sort for all-round work and especially frame culture, it is only fair to urge the claims of our wonderfully fine strain of Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, which is one of the very best varieties for field cultivation, for either early or late, heading with great certainty, under ordinarily favorable conditions producing extra large, deep, solid white flowers. The plant is of large, sturdy, robust growth, having a strong frame with short, broad leaves which furnish ample protection to the “flower.’’ This is of the finest quality, always clear, with even surface, without any leaf growing between, and unsurpassed in appearance.

HENDERSON'S

EASY-BLANCHING CELERY.

THE PIONEER OF A NEWCLASS. EASY TO GROW. EASY TO KEEP.

This variety cannot properly be classed with either the self-blanching, or the green sorts, as it possesses many of the best qualities of both.

There is no green Celery that blanches so quickly, and no blanching sort that has its vigor, keeping quality or flavor. It is thoroughly blanched and ready for use just about the time the green sorts are ready to pit, and is therefore ready to market long in advance of them. Its keeping quality is so good that it may. be pitted for later use, or marketed straight from the field. It is medium

in height, the stalks are thick, brittle and stringless.

in to the heart very readily, thus hastening the blanching process. There is no variety that blanches the outer stalks so thoroughly, or that wastes so little in trimming. (Seecut.) Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts., 50c., $2.00 0z., $7.00 { lb., $25.00 lb.

WINTER QUEEN CELERY.

A selection from Henderson’s Golden Dwarf. The habit of the plant is dwarf, and it has great vigor. The stalks are medium long, thick, only slightly ribbed, extremely solid, and very crisp. The flavor is delicious when thoroughly blanched. It may be marketed late when its quality will ensure good prices.

Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. + 1b., $3.00 lb.

GIANT PASCAL CELERY,

Very distinct. The plant has fewer stalks than any other, these are almost

as thick as broad, of fine texture and delicious quality.

HENDERSON'S GOLDEN DWARF CELERY.

This is grown just as widely as ever for a winter crop. markably well, where its robust character enables it to resist rust and rot. It is medium in height; the stalks are solid, fleshy and crisp. It has an abundant heart, the inner leaves blanching to a rich creamy yellow color, which shows up well in the bunch. Price, 30c. 0z., 90c. + lb., $3.00 lb.

CHANTENAY Half-Long Scarlet CARROT. The Popular Sort for Bunching. This is well-known everywhere as one of the best bunch- ing varieties, and is popular with all growers. It is used largely in frames where the small tops allow close planting. In the open ground it has long been a standard sort. It is broadest at the shoulder, and tapers

towards the base, running quickly to a point. Price, 10c. 0z., 30c. + lb., $1.00 Ib.

HENDERSONS'’ seecte) ~~ DANVERS CARROT. A Perfect, Heavy-Shouldered, Shapely Stock.

Our idea of a good Danvers Carrot is a root about eight inches long, broad at the shoulder, and maintaining a good diameter until near the base, then going quickly to a point. This type is admirably suited to the market, it gives great weight per acre, and is easily dug. We believe there is no better stock sold anywhere. (See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 40c. ¢ lb., $1.25 1b.

Golden Self-Blanching Celery.

THE STANDARD EARLY YELLOW SORT.

This variety originated in France, and the best stocks are still produced there. It is very scarce again this season, but, notwithstanding its high price, our customers will find it cheaper in the end than low priced stocks. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt., $1.40 oz., $5.25 { 1b., $20.00 1b.

TO PROVE THE SUPERIORITY AND GENERAL EXCELLENCE OF OUR STOCKS, WE QUOTE THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS.

H. M. Frazee, Manatee, Fla., ‘‘Your strain of Golden Self-Blanching Celery has proven superior to all others for the last five years’; Paul Seyfert, Bradentown, Fla., “I had 10 lbs. of your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last year and i produced better Celery than any other yaised. around here’; Aaron R. Niles, Wellsboro, Pa., ‘‘Your stock of French grown Golden Self-Blanching Celery was unusually fine’; John A, Knowles, Hartville, Ohio, ‘‘Your Golden Self-Blanching Celery can’t be beat’.

One of the worst evils in this variety is a tendency to develop hollow pithy stalks. How thoroughly we have rid our stocks of this evil may be judged from extracts from letters printed below: j

Brouwer & Son, Danville, N. J., “Your Golden Self-Blanching Celery is more solid than anyone elses”; R. J. Dallinger, Akron, Ohio, “I used your Golden Self-Blanching Celery last: ‘year and found the crop free from hollow stalks, while my neighbors who used seed from other sources lost nearly their entire crop”; Carl A. Baumeister, Sanford, Fla., “T secured a small quantity of your seed from M.S. O. Chase, and out of 355 crates of fine Celery I have cut only one hollow stalk, while some people have had one-third of their crop to throw out'’;

Read what our customers say about the purity of our stocks. None is superior in this respect:

W. H. McCarthy, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., says, ‘I must suy your Golden Self-Blanching Celery is the finest strain I ever had, I do not think there is a plant in the whole lot that is nol true to name’; F. J. Lovell, Hornellsville, N. Y., “I

had the clearest field of Golden Self-Blanching Celery

Wherever head lettuce is sold, the demand for Big Boston is imperative and insistent. This demand is satisfied only with HENDERSON’S BIG BOSTON.

R. L. Rice, Sunrise, La., ‘‘ Your Big Boston Lettuce is a grand success. I don't think there is a Lettuce to beat it.'" H. Huebsch, Austin, Texas, ‘‘ The Lettuce I have raised from your Big Boston seed created quite a sensation among truck gardeners.’ Chas. Riess, St. Bernard, Ohio, ‘‘ Your Big Boston Lettuce is fine, sold more this year than ever.’’ Arthur J. de May, Sodus, N. Y., ‘‘ The best Big Boston Lettuce grown in this town last year was grown from seed bought from you." E. Nadler, Chester, N. Y., ‘‘I have bought Lettuce seed from you for five years. It has always been good, but this year's is the best I ever bought.”

The combined acreage devoted to all varieties of head Lettuce is about one-half of that required to supply the markets of the U.S. with Henderson’s Big Boston Lettuce.

Whipple Bros., Beaufort, S. C.,“‘ We grew the past season from your Big Boston Lettuce seed 7200 baskets from six acres of as fine Lettuce as was ever grown.” Manton Hall, Fulton, N. Y., ‘‘I send a picture of my Lettuce field grown from your Big Boston Lettuce seed. This field paid us better than one-thousand dollars an acre.’ Willey’s Farm, East Patchogue, L. I. ‘‘ From 10 rows Henderson Big Boston Lettuce 600 feet long, we cut over 6000 heads of the best Lettuce we ever grew.”’

Very many of the most successful greenhouse gardeners use it for an indoor crop, where, slowly, and gently forced in a moderate temperature, it makes perfect heads. For spring

and early summer crops in the open ground, it always brings a

good crop, and in the fall it is used to the practical exclusion of all other sorts,.mainly because it is unharmed by the early light frosts of autumn.

In the vicinity of the large eastern cities, hundreds of acres of this variety may be seen quite late in November growing freely and vigorously under a covering of salt marsh hay. From this protection the plants emerge fresher, brighter, and more salable than at any season.

Jos. Rockefeller, Shreveport, La., ‘‘ Your Big Boston Lettuce will do without further improvement."”

It is probably the heaviest Lettuce of its size. The heart leaves are numerous, closely packed round a short stem, and of tender and delicate quality. The outer leaves are large, and being of great substance, perfectly protect the heart when ship- ping. (See cut.)

Keeping Qualities Unsurpassed.

Southport Globe Onions have been grown by the same families in Connecticut for a long period of years. The constancy of the type may teadily be understood when we state that one of our growers has supplied us with ~ the same identical strains for forty years.

These stocks produce crops so superior to those raised from western seed that they are beyond comparison. This dis- tinction has been maintained so constantly, and over so long a period, that we have entirely discarded the use of western seed.

NO HIGHER PRAISE CAN BE BESTOWED THAN IS CONTAINED IN | THE EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS WHICH WE PRINT BELOW.

Mr. Albert H. Marsh, Bradstreet, Mass., says ‘‘I saw a field of Onions that Mr. D. H. Wright grew, they were the best I ever looked on. He used 30 lbs. of your seed. His yellows yielded 1000 bushels to the acre, and his Reds 1150 bushels.” S. N. Bullis, Linesville, Pa., ‘*I used your Southport Onion seed last year; they were the best Globe, and best yielders I ever saw.’’ John A. Knowles, Hartville, Ohio, ““ Last year I raised over 900 bushels of Southport Yellow Globes from 4 lbs. of seed bought from you.’ Benj. Archer, Danbury, Conn., ‘‘ I raised the finest Globe Onions from seed I got of you, averaging 121 inches in circumference.’ Edward Eschrich, N.

HENDERSON'S PROSPERITY PEA.

FJENESONS PROSPERITY of GRADUS:

THE EARLIEST LARGE WRINKLED OR MARROW PEA

This grand, extra early, large-podded wrinkled Marrow Pea— introduced into America by us in 1897—has, each year, increased in popular favor, not only steadily but with whirlwind rapidity. This variety is now indispensable for an early crop. It is quite distinct; no other large-podded sort ripens so early; and at any season, early or late, its quality and appearance insure ready sales. Our stock is a little larger-podded than those ordinarily sold, of great vigor, and free from small pods. When one considers that peas of this superior size and quality are ready for picking only a day or two later than the little round- seeded hard-shell ‘‘Extra Earlies,”’ one realizes what a valuable acquisition our Prosperity Pea really is. 3 feet. (See cut). Price, 40c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.50 bush. :

““ Please send me at once—of your Prosperity Peas for my second planting. My first was the finest I ever grew and there was no limit to the demand.” GEO. W. MILES, Madison, Wis.

““ My Prosperity Peas are ahead of all in this community.” L.W.THOMAS, Yulaha, Fla.

HENDERSON'S FIRST OF ALL PEA.

Its first important feature is its extreme earliness, ensuring to the trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much earlier than those who do not grow it. It is also exceedingly productive. The vines are vigorous and dwarf, about 23 feet in height. Another important feature: the entire crop can be gathered at one picking, and every trucker will realize at once the economy in labor in growing sucha pea. Moreover, the stock which we are sending out to-day is superior, constant selection has enabled us to eliminate every undesirable feature, such as small double pods, irregularity in height, and weak spindling habit, which forms so large a part of the crop of many so-called “First Earlies.”’ (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush.

This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready for table in 40 to 45 days from planting. It grows about 14 inches high. It is of vigorous constitution, and wonderfully productive. The even, regular habit of the plant is also a great advantage, particularly to market growers. Nott’s Excelsior has not only come to stay, but will eventually supersede many sorts of like character. (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 pk., $8.00 bush.

“The Nott’s Excelsior Peas I bought from you last spring did very well indeed. The crop was a bountiful one, and the vines bore pods from early in July until frost, I am much pleased with the variety.’

JAMES F. BURKE, Canton St., North Easton, Mass.

SEO NO OEE RIOR DEEDS TOR MARKET GARDENERS: 15 THE AMEER, “Mammoth Alaska’” Pea.

This new variety—often called the “Mammoth Alaska” is rapidly growing in favor among Market Gardeners being planted on an extensive scale on many of the largest truck farms. It resembles Alaska, the vine being more vigorous, a little taller or about 3 feet in height and the pods and peas are fully one-third larger. It is a heavy producer of handsome dark green pods con- taining from 5 to 7 large blue-green round peas of excellent quality. The crop ripens uniformly about three days later than Alaska.

Price, 30c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.50 bush.

ALDERMAN PEA.

One of the very best early main crop peas of the Telephone type. The vigorous, healthy vines grow about 5 feet in height and are very productive of large, long, dark green pods—often over five inches in length—and packed with deep green wrinkled peas of the largest size and of unsurpassed quality. Therich, dark green color and handsome appearance of pods and peas are retained for several days, rendering this vatiety especially desirable for Market Garden- ers who ship their products. Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 peck, $8.00 bush.

THOMAS LAXTON PEA.

An extra early, wrinkled Marrow Pea of great merit. It grows about 3 feet high, resembling Prosperity, though a little darker in color and of vigorous, hardy constitution, enabling it to be sown with first earlies, coming in but three or four days later than those round, hard-shell sorts. It produces a heavy crop of long, straight, square-ended, dark green pods, which are well filled with 7 to 8 large, rich-flavored, wrinkled marrow peas, which are also of a deep green color; a good reliable pea, uniformly constant type and about as early as Prosperity. We are sure that this pea will become one of the best and most popular varieties for market gardeners on account of its earliness, productiveness, handsome appearance and quality. Price, 40c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.50 bush.

“Henderson’s Telephoné Peas have the largest pods and every pod is full of large peas. Such peas have never been raised in this country. Everybody that has had them wants them

again.”’ J. F. HINDS, Cloar, Ark.

“Vour Telephone is the finest pea we ever planted. They grew over 6 feet high and had 22-to 26 pods toa vine. Our call for these peas is so much that we cannol supply all of our

customers. GEORGE SELAKE,

EELEPLIONE PEA =

One of the oldest varieties grown. It has been on the market for nearly forty years, and is better today than ever. The plant is about five feet high, and bears a heavy crop of large, even sized pods, well filled with peas of delicious quality; rich, tender, and most attractive in appearance. Our stock is remarkably free from small podded plants, and is far superior to that ordinarily sold under this name. (See cut.) Price, 30c. qt., $2.20 peck, $8.00 bush.

Henderson’s Dwarf Early Pea, M E LT | N G : MA R ROVWV iE

Henderson’s Melting Marrow Pea is early, following immediate- ly after the extra early sorts, thus filling in the gap between these and the midsummer varieties, though by successive sowings Mel- ting Marrow Peas may be long enjoyed.

The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 inches high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically self- supporting, so that brush is not essential. The massive pods are produced in prodigal abundance from ground to summit and are packed with from six to eight immense, wrinkled Marrow Peas of a rich green color, which hue is maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive when served, while the delicious quality and superb rich flavor is unequalled by any pea of Amer- ican origin. (See cut). Price, 40c. qt., $2.75 pk., $10.00 bush.

“*T am pleased to tell you that Melting Marrow proved the best dwarf pea I have ever grown, and I have tried a great many during my gardening ex perience of 59 years. The flavor was good and the yield enormous. CHAS. J. FOX, Souih London, Ont., Can.

pods, the flowering diminishes.

THE ‘HENDERSON” CHILLED PLOW

A Grand Plow, Lightest Draft, Runs Steady. Correct Shape, Harder than Steel.

"THE HENDERSON.

—- =

THE “HENDERSON ” CHILLED PLOW. DOES GRAND WORK IN ALL SOILS, SOD OR STUBBLE.

The outlines and shapes are exactly right to do perfect work with the least draft, and with the greatest ease to the plowman.

THE CHILLED MOULDBOARD is harder than steel and rustproof. _ Will scour in any soil, leaving the surface like glass.

THE CUTTING EDGE, OR ‘‘ SHIN PIECE,” is separate from the mould- board (on all sizes larger than Medium One Horse), and can be taken off and ground sharp.

THE LANDSIDE inclines at the bottom away from unplowed ground, re- ducing friction and draft, besides cutting a furrow that falls by its own weight. THE STANDARD is placed inside of the cutting line and does not choke.

THE HEEL OF THE BEAM can be regulated so the plow will make a lapped, flat, small or large furrow, and perfect center draft always be maintained. It {s also a desirable feature in one-horse plows, as it allows the horse to walk in the furrow when desired.

THE WHEEL can be swiveled to run in a direct line with the plow; this makes the plow draw always perfectly true.

THE JOINTER OR SKIM turns under all weeds, manure, stubble and surface soil. making a miniature furrow over which the main furrow is thrown.

HENDERSON’S GOLD MEDAL SUBSOIL PLOW.

By following the plow with a sub-soil plow the earth can be broken to a depth of from 15 to 20 inches, giving roots a wider range for food, and the plants are hardly affected by excessive drought or a wet season, as the deep soil absorbs all the rain like a sponge and gradu- ally gives off moisture during dry, hot weather. The ‘Gold Medal” in- volves new principles and accom- plishes the work without throwing any sub-soil on top. Its merits are ease of penetration, light draft, superior pulverization of hard pan, perfection of the ‘‘ mole track’’ effect. The one-horse plow will reach to a depth equal to the height of its standard—15 to 16 inches—and the two-horse plow will reach to a depth of 20 inches.

We call attention to the fact that the purchaser actually gets four plows for the price_of one, viz.: One complete plow, No. 23 mouldboard and share, making a large one-horse plow. A No. 13 mouldboard and share, making a medium-size one-horse plow, A cabbage mouldboard and share, making a complete cabbage plow, and by using the plow without mouldboard, with the small share bolted to standard, makes a superior plow for working among cabbage, strawberries, etc. Price. $5.25, or with a splendid double mouldboard for furrowing, hilling, etc., $6.75.

HENDERSON’S IMPROVED WINGED SHOVEL PLOW.

For furrowing out, hilling and cultivating all kinds of crops that are planted in rows. Cuts up all grass and weeds. _ Wings and points of steel. The wings can be opened or closed to throw off more or less earth, and to adapt them to rows of different widths. For weeding, and when it is not desired to throw soil against the plants, the wings should be reversed, “| the soil passing over ¥ the plow, The depth is regulated by the wheel and draft hook.

THE MEEKER DISC-SMOOTHING HARROW.

It is a splendid substitute’ for a take for garden purposes, or for seeding down. It pulverizes and grades, leaving the ground in as fine a condition as could possibly be done by hand. No market gardener or farmer can afford to be without it.

The frame is fitted with four sets of rollers, having iron discs. The discs on each set of rollers work between each other.

The board in the centre is set at an angle; is adjusted up and down, and acts as a leveler.

The discs grind all lumps so fine that seed must come up, and mashes small stones below the surface better than any field roller; it levels the ground at the same time, which a field roller does not do.

FOR HAND POWER.

The New “Planet, Jr.” Hill and Drill Seeders.

A good Seeder is one of the most important of garden and farm implements; with it the seeding may be done in one-fourth of the time required by hand and be done far better, producing a more even crop and with a great saving of seed; with the ‘hill droppers ’’ there is also a great additional saving of labor in hoeing and thinning. The new “ Planet Jr.’’ Hill and Drill Seeders are the very best hand- power seed planters in the world. Improvement afcer improvement has been adopted as sug- gested during an experience of 40 years in their manufacture until they are now far in advance of any other Seeders and without a rival. These seeders, at the will of the operators, either sow seeds in a continuous drill, thick or thin, shale low or deep, or they may be instantly set to plant any desired quantity of seeds at any of the following regular dis- tances apart; 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches they open the furrow, drop the seed, cover and roll it and mark the next row at one operation and as fast asa mancan walk. The flow of seed may be instantly shut off, thus preventing waste when turning the end of the row. These Seeders are light in operation, strong, simple and do not get out of order.

EP RES Pe TENT CEEERY BEANCHING PAPER PLACER.

AS ILLUSTRATED ABOVE.

This labor saver is the outcome of a long-felt need by an experienced celery grower who had difficulty in procuring sufficient help at celery blanching time, causing himtoinvent this machine. Withit two mencan placein position celery blanching paper at the rate of an acre a day. One man draws the machine, the other follows and thrustsin the wire arches every 3 or 4 feet to hold the paper in position. The machine rides on four wheels and straddles the row, carrying a roll of paper on each side of the row which unreels as fast as the man can walk. The paper runs between the celery and two hinged runners with vertical rollers

which are held by tension springs against the celery, thus pressing it up and

together with the paper against it so that the usual preliminary operation of

“Rand D> PATENT

This celery blancher is a paper made specially for the purpose from a patented compound, it is odorless, tough and strong, not affected by wet nor by extremes of heat and cold and if cared for can be used over and over again for years. It is easily and quickly placed in position, costing less than half the price of boards it greatly reduces the expense of blanching a crop of celery by either boards or banking. Where it is to be used the rows may be just far enough apart to permit of horse cultivation, say 30 inches, which would allow about 25% more plants to be grown on the same area than if the celery was to be banked. As this blanching paper conforms to the foliage excluding all light, the celery blanches quickly, is clean and bright, and not so susceptibie to rust and heart rot even if blanched in warm weather.

The ‘‘R. and D.” Celery Blancher comes in rolls of convenient length and weight to be easily handled. It is usually placed on both sides of the row at the same time and fastened up, three men being required, one on each side to unwind the paper from the upright unwinding pipes; the third man following to thrust in the wire arches every 3 or 4 feet. These straddle the row and hold the paper in position, the ends being held together with clothes- pins.

Il

“handling ’’ is unnecessary. The tension may be loosened or tightened so the runners will adapt themselves to large or small celery. The wheels can be raised or lowered so the paper will unreel at just the right height.

The machine weighs about 80 pounds and measures over all 33 inches wide and 50 inches long. The height can be regulated from 27 to 3l inches. Ordin- ary Building or Roofing Paper may be used. It comes in rolls 3 feet wide and is simply sawed whilein the rollinto three one-foot widths. But the‘ R.and D” Celery Blanching Paper is recommended as the best, although its first cost is higher. Net Price of Earl’s Patent Celery Blanching Paper Placer, $50.00 f. o. b. New York.

If the ground is uneven, leaving openings beneath for light to enter, these apertures may be closed with earth thrown up with spade or with a horse hoe. After use the paper should be reeled up again by using the ‘* Re-winder."

RAPP’S HAND SEED SOWER.

For Frame and Hot Bed Sowings.

This is the invention of a practical market gardener of long experience who felt the need of such a sower to avoid kneeling, reaching and backaches. Jt is light, weighing only 23 lbs., and sows all kinds of seeds not larger than spinach seed, thin or thick as set, and five times faster than by hand, and it sows equally well going forwards or backwards; consequently it is pushed along one furrow and pulled back in the next, thus saving time and lifting. The revolving brass covered drum holds one pint of seed which drops through holes in a brass band which can be shifted to make the opening larger, smaller, or to shut off the flow of seed. The Rapp seed sower is a home- made affair: it does not open furrows nor cover the seed, there- fore is so simple that it can be used by the most inexperienced.

Price, $3.50. THE McWHORTER MAN-POWER FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTER.

For Furrow Work, Side Top Dressing or Broadcasting.

,. This improved and efficient machine we heartily recommend to all gardeners. it™is universally used in large market gardening sections. By its use crops may be stimulated into rapid growth, increased size and early maturity. Any com- mercial fertilizer can be applied with it in any desired quantity from 3 pounds to 40 pounds per 100 yards of row. It will distribute broadcast or in furrows or between rows, or both sides of one, two, three or four rows according to their

distance apart, at one operation. The fertilizer is forced through eight distrib- uting spouts, which may be contracted to cover a 4-inch strip; or they may be spread into any position not exceeding 24 feet in width. For top dressing straw- berry beds, lawns, etc., as well as for rowed crops, it is a boon. Easily worked by man or boy. Weight, 61 lbs. Price, $10.00.

The Automatic Plant Setting Machine.

Transplants all kinds of plants at any required distance, and at the same time water is deposited at the roots and the covering rollers pack dry earth around the stalk, which cannot bake and which retains moisture underneath. In front of the opening plow there is an adjustable cleaner which clears away the loose stones and lumps of dirt which otherwise might be backed around the roots or stalk, thus it will work in stony ground. The roller packers roll over obstacles which shoes would drag along and interfere with setting the plants. It does the work far better than when done by hand. The machine is drawn by two horses and the work is done by a driver and two boys, who do the operating. It plants one row at a time and can transplant from 4 to 6 acres a day. according to the distance between plants and the skill of the droppers. The rows may be 30 inches apart or as much wider as desired. One foot apart in the rows is about as close as ordinary operators can transplant but when ex- pert, they can operate fast enough for celery.

For tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet po- tatoes, strawberries, tobacco and small nursery plants, etc., or any plants that do not require to be planted closer than 1 foot the machine works to perfection, and for extensive truckers, etc., it will pay for itself several times in one season. Plants may be set deep or shallow, and the quantity of water to each regulated from 1 to 6 barrels an acre. An automatic check valve or water trip lets water through a hose extending in behind the shoe or furrower, just before setting the plants. Roots are not doubled up as in hand planting, plants start to grow quicker, mature more evenly, and the grower is independent of labor and has no iame back—no delay in planting on account of dry weather. Plants are set straight, allowing close and quicker cultivation. It is easy of draft and a thoroughly good machine in every respect and will last a lifetime.

This Transplanter has been fully tested on all kinds of soil, and can be operated and worked satisfactorily on any ground on which you wish to transplant tobacco, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, etc., and is guaranteed to do the work.

Price (net) $55.00, or with Fertilizer Attachment $70.00.

The Keystone Adjustable Weeder is the latest and best weeder on the market combining all the good featmes of others, with many advantages which none others possess. . The adjustable frame permits it to stretch 7 feet, or it may be closed to 32 inches; the butterfly-shaped frame gives greater strength, allowing it to be thoroughly braced, overcoming all racking and straining; it is easier to pull, easier to handie, and can be tilted to work the ground in hollows. The spring steel teeth are flat at the frame end, giving superior lateral flexibility and vibration without allowing them to track. The bolts fasten them in with a spring tension; they cannot come out, vet are easily removed or set at any angle. The ground ends of the teeth are narrow, penetrating the soil easily. They do not plow deeply like a cultivator tooth, merely entering the upper inch of sur- face; do not catch nor disturb the plants nor their roots, they loosen and uproot the weeds, allowing them to slide aside, thereby overcoming the clogging so objectionable in other weeders. Price, $12.00.
