perience to accurately determine when they are right. Our own practical experience of thirty years as market gardeners forcibly

impresses upon us the fact that the best is none too good for those whose living depends upon profitable crops, and we assure

Henderson's PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.

Rt 8 Larger, Earlier, More Uniform in Size and More Prolific
HENDERSON’S than any Other Asparagus Grown. Disease-Resisting.

PALMETTO ASPARAGUS.

in an exhaustive test covering eight years conducted by
the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, was
proven superior to all other varieties tried, eight in all,
viz.: Palmetto, Barr’s Mammoth, Donald’s Elmira, Colum-
bia Mammoth White, Conover’s Colossal, Giant Brunswick,
Moore’s Crossbred and Giant Argenteuil. Full details are
printed in their Bulletin No. 173, extracts from which are
as follows:

“The question of varieties for setting new plantations is a
very important one. Palmetto is by far the most productive
sort; ats productiveness, coupled with its power of resisting dis-
eases, makes it one of the most, if not the most, desirable variety
of Asparagus. Donald’s Elmira is second in order of yield, but

other varieties, being much earlier, also a better yielder and more even and

regular in growth, average bunches containing 15 shoots, measure 13} inches
in circumference and weigh about two pounds. The Palmetto is equally adapted’
to all sections North and South. Its hardiness renders it less susceptible to
the Asparagus disease than any other variety, and it has continued to yield profit-
able crops in sections where plantations of other varieties have been entirely
devastated. Its quality is unequalled and its fine appearance when bunched:
for market render it very salable.

Price of Seed: 10c. oz., 20c. 4 lb., 50c. Ib.

le Palmetto is superior to any other Asparagus, and is rapidly supplanting

at 1s exceeded by Palmetto by 24% in early yield and 32% in
total average yield (covering six years of cutting) and by nearly
36% im total yield of 1903. It is thus evident that the cash
return in Asparagus growing depends much upon the variety. In
the six annual crops taken from the field, Palmetto gives an
average cash return of $111.00 per acre more than the Elmira.
The yield and value the last year reported on, 1903, was even
more pronounced in favor of Palmetto, the yield being 7,123

Henderson's Palmetto Asparagus Roots.

A Saving of one to two years is effected by planting roots.
The best time for planting in the North is in the Spring.

Prices (buyer paying transit): Two-year-old roots, per 100, $1.00; per 1,000, $6.00.
Add to above prices for free delivery 1 U. S..30c. per 100. iy

lbs. per acre; the returns for which were $839.87 per acre, an
excess over Elmira that year of $221.88 and over Barr’s Mam-=
moth, $333.12.”

A prolific and continuous cropper.
—the last in fall. Absolutely string-
less—very tender and of delicious flavor.

Te superior variety, introduced into cultivation by us,

The first in spring
Flat, green pod.

is a distinct improvement in green bush beans, and has

become exceedingly popular wherever known. Our cus-
tomers who have grown it are enthusiastic in its praise; many
of them say, we do not praise it half enough.

The plant is of remarkably handsome and thrifty growth,
being practically rust and mildew proof. It is very hardy
extremely early, very prolific and bears continuously for sev-
eral weeks; it is the first to give pods fit to pick in the spring,
and the last to yield edible pods in the fall; in fact, frost usually
finds midsummer-sown plants still in pod and blossom.

The rich green pods are of immense size, thick, broad, extra
long, very uniform in shape, solid, meaty, and of high quality,
tender and of excellent flavor; the pods are absolutely string-
less and entirely free from any tough, membraneous lining,
not only when young, but this tender quality is retained even
after maturity.

This variety is coming into great demand among truckers,
who find that its handsome appearance and luscious quality
hold their customers. (See cut.)

HENDERSON’S BOUNTIFUL BEAN.

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

HENDERSON'S

Earliest Red Valentine Bean.

AMERICA’S STANDARD GREEN-
PODDED DWARF SNAP BEAN.

Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. Yields
prodigiously. Full, round, meaty pods of un-
surpassed tenderness and quality.

THis grand variety is a great improvement over the

original Red Valentine, which it has now entirely
supplanted, being fully ten days earlier; often ready to
pick in forty-five days from sowing. The healthy, vig-
orous plants are unusually hardy, withstanding frost
that kill other varieties; it may therefore be planted
very early. This, with its quick development, makes
it the earliest large-podded variety, and on this account
it is extensively grown by truckers, over wide sections of
the country.

It produces a large crop of handsome, long, round fleshy
pods, rich green in color and of unsurpassed tenderness
and quality when gathered young, when it is practically
stringless. It is the Standard Snap Bean, not only for
the earliest but for successive plantings, bearing up to
frost. (See cut.) Price, 25c. qt., $1.10 pk., $3.75 bush.

“I marketed at the rate of 10 bushels of your Valentine Beans for

each quart of seed planted.” JOHN B. BLACKIE,
Altoona, Pa.
“Your Earliest Red Valentine Snap Beans were a marvel of uni-
form maturity and earliness.” A. O'HALLORAN,

Lynchburg, Va.

“* Your Earliest Red Valentine Beans are such nice stock that I want
another bushel and a half of them.” C. M. BERRY,
- Orlando, Fla.

Henderson's Extra Early Refugee Bean.

This is one of the very best green podded varieties for the market
gardener. It is ready at the same time as the Earliest Red Valentine,
and two weeks earlier than the Late Refugee, or 1000 to 1. The plant
has the true Refugee habit, bearing a mass of small leaves, which shelter
the pods from hot suns. The pods are round, almost straight, fleshy
and solid, and of remarkable uniformity in size. It is a prodigious
cropper, and an excellent shipper, and is popular on all markets and
of excellent quality in every respect. Price, 20c. qt., $1.20 peck, $4.00
bushel.

Refugee, or “1000 to 1.”

The most prolific dwarf,
green-podded Snap Bean.

A VERY popular market gardeners’ vari-

ety on account of its exceeding produc-
tiveness. It is extensively grown both in the
north and south for a fall crop. The plants
are of healthy, robust growth, about 15 inches
high, of true branching bush growth. The
pods are of attractive appearance, round,
long and slim, of light green color, fleshy,
solid and brittle, with but slight string and
of tender and mild flavor. This type of
bean is the most popular in the markets of
the large cities and it is also extensively used
for pickling. Our strain of Refugee is very
fine. (See cut.) Price, 20c. qt., $1.10 pk.,
$3.75 bush.

“Save me 2 bushels of the same strain of Refugee
Beans that you supplied me last season. You would be
surprised to learn what the two acres of them netted me.
They were the finest I ever saw.”

EARLY CHOLET.

NEW, DWARF, FRENCH, GREEN-PODDED
BEAN.

Long Slender Pods of High Quality, maturing so
uniformly that the Whole Crop can be gathered
at one picking.

Three years’ experience with this variety leads
us to predict that it will prove as popular as the
Black Valentine which we introduced several
years ago. It is somewhat similar to that variety,
but has longer pods, slender but extremely hand-
some and attractive in appearance. They are
quite straight, thick, flat, just midway between
round and flat. It is very early and matures its
crop so evenly that it may be cleaned off in one
picking, a most important feature where the
labor problem is involved. It is of French origin,
and the fact that it is popular in the Paris mar-
kets in sufficient guarantee of its quality.

Price, 30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush.

Refugee VVax Bush Bean.

Possesses the valuable character of the old
Refugee or 1000 to 1, but is wax podded and an
enormous cropper. The pods are handsome,
round and transparent yellow. A great drought
and rust resister and remains in good condition
long after maturity. (Sce cut.)

Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush.

HENDERSON'S

Market. VWWax Bush Bean.

A MAMMOTH FLAT WAX-PODDED SORT.

This grand acquisition we think will entirely displace
other flat-podded wax beans. The plants are unusually
robust, with luxuriant, healthy foliage, resisting disease and
unfavorable weather and, whether sown early, midseason or
late, invariably produces in greatest abundance large and
handsome, waxy, golden-yellow pods. They are of im-
mense size, nearly six inches in length, and of great breadth,
entirely free from green tips. The quality, unlike some
varieties of similar type, is fully equal to that of the smaller
podded dwarf wax beans, and the pods, though flat, are
thick, meaty, very tender, entirely stringless even when ap-
proaching maturity, and of mild, fine flavor. It is very
early for so large a sort, rendering it of especial value as a
market bean. This new bean is not only desirable as an
edible wax-podded snap bean, but is also valuable as a shell
bean. (See cut.)

Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush.

Curries Rust Proof Wax.
BUSH BEAN.

This is the earliest, hardiest and one of the most prolific
of the flat wax pod sorts. The plants are robust with an
abundance of leaves, which afford ample protection to the
pods, so that they are always of a clear wax color. They
are long, straight and quite uniform in size, and always most
attractive in appearance.

Price, 25c. qt., $1.40 pk., $4.75 bush.

___ = IMPROVED————_—
GOLDEN WAX BUSH BEAN. |

The Standard Flat, Wax-Podded Variety.

The Golden Wax has long been in popular favor, but this im-
proved variety by far surpasses the old favorite in. several

desirable points. The plants are of vigorous, bushy growth,
not susceptible to rust, moderately early and very prolific. The
pods are exceedingly handsome, large, uniformly broad, thick,
and almost all solid flesh, of good quality, tender and brittle,
absolutely without string or coarse fibre at all stages until
maturity, while the color is of a rich golden-yellow. Although
not the earliest dwarf wax bean, its reliability in producing a
heavy crop of large handsome pods, whether sown in spring,
summer or early fall, renders it highly valuable for market
planting. Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.25 bush.

HENDERSON'S IMPROVED
BLACK VVAX BUSH BEAN.

An Extra Early Cylinder-Podded Variety.

This is a highly improved stock of the popular Black Wax.
The plants are of robust though compact, bushy habit, with
ample foliage, which completely shelters the pods from the ef-
fects of the sun, so that they are always of a uniform, waxy,
yellow color. The pods are of good size, quite round, slightly
curved, very solid, meaty and free from string; of excellent, ten-
der quality. It is very prolific and one of the earliest wax-
podded dwarf beans grown. It has a special value as a market
variety, in the fact that it ‘‘ stands up’”’ admirably and may
always be relied on to present a good appearance in the crate.
Price, 25c. qt., $1.60 pk., $5.50 bush.

THE HODSON
LONG POD. WAX
BUSH BEAN.

This distinct new type of bean is remarkable for its great size
of plant and pod and wonderful productiveness. It will out-
yield any other bush bean two to one on a given area. The
strong, sturdy plants often attain dimensions 2} feet in height
by 2 feet through, and bear great quantities of long, nearly
straight, meaty pods, measuring 7 to 8 inches in length and of
a waxy cream-yellow color. The ample foliage sheltering the
pods from the hot sun renders them exceptionally tender, brittle
and if picked before too old they are stringless, free from fibre
and of fine table quality.

This variety is absolutely immune from bean diseases. Not
a trace of rust, blight or mildew has ever appeared on a plant
or pod in our trial grounds or fields during the three years we
have been growing it—and the past season was especially favor-
able for developing rust and blight on beans. The Hodson Long
Pod Wax is not early; it comes in about 2 weeks after the
earliest dwarf varieties, but for main crop it is destined to be-
come important for both the private table and for market
growers on account of its phenomenal vigor and productiveness.
The plants should be grown further apart than other dwarf bush
beans. Thin out to at least 6 inches apart in the rows on ac-
count of the great size of the plants. (See cut.) Price, 30c.
qt., $1.75 pk., $6.00 bush.

ties which have already made the Hodson Wax famous. Price,

POLE LIMA BEAN.

ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN ANY!
TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN MOST!

Immense Size.

Of Superior Quality. Wonderfully Productive.

This delicious vegetable is denied many on account of the length of season
required to mature it, the early frosts coming on as the crop is ready to pick.
Leviathan is one week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks
earlier than most, consequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. We
cannot praise too highly the splendid quality and enormous productiveness of
this peerless variety. The pods grow in large clusters—we have frequently
seen from 5 to 10 in a cluster—and they are always well filled with the most de-
licious beans of beautiful green color. (See cut) Price, 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 pk.,
$8.00 bush.

“ Your Leviathan Pole Lima Beans are par excellence in earliness, size, flavor.and productiveness,
far ahead of any Limas I have ever seen. Their qualities are all good.’ ai
C. H. JONES, Galveston, Texas.
““T thought you might like to know of my continued endorsement of your Leviathan: Pole Lima. It
is simply grand. I always plant other varieties with it to compare and have seen none that compares to
Leviathan.” DWARD HOLLISTER, Avondale Av., St: Louis, Mo.

“Henderson ’’ still holds its own. It is a
true bush variety, 18 to 20 inches high, re-
quiring no support; enormously productive and
extremely early, coming in weeks ahead of
any other Bush or Climbing Lima and bearing
continuously until frost, succeeding even in
Northern States; the beans have the true Lima
flavor, buttery, rich and tender. The surest,
and most prolific cropper of all. (See cut.) Price,
30c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bush.

IMPROVED “HENDERSON ”? BUSH LIMA.

About five days later than the Henderson, but
the beans-and pods are larger; it is not so-pro-

lific but equally good in other respects. Price,
35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush. .

BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA. "

A bush form of the Large White Lima, grow-
41ng about 20 inches high; the pods and beans are
large. While not as early as the ‘‘ Henderson,”
its large size commends it to many. Price, 30c.
qt., $2.00 pk., $7.50 bush.

FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. ;

Of true Bush habit, the plants growing stiffly
erect 2: to 24 feet in height by about 2 feet
across the top. The pods, borne in clusters, are
4 to 5 inches in length and contain three to five
—averaging four—splendid plump “ potato
lima’ shaped beans, as large again as those of
Dreer’s or the Kumerle Bush Lima. It is also
several days earlier than the latter and a much
heavier cropper. Price, 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $3.25
pk., $12.00 bush.

DREER’S BUSH LIMA.

This is the most satisfactory variety for gen-
eral crop for the market gardener. Though not
quite so compact as some other varieties the
habit of the plant is well fixed. It bears an
enormous crop of very attractive beans of th
same shape as the Dreer’s Improved Pole Lima;
just the bean the market demands. The beans
are produced near the centre of the plant in enor-
mous quantities and the plants bear clear up
till frost. Few. crops are more profitable. Price,

Coming in with the Large Wakefield and Yielding
One-third More than any other Extra Early.

This is the first early flat Cabbage, and is the
most popular for early market wherever grown,
the flat shape giving it an advantage over the
conical shaped sorts. It is of the Early Summer
type, but about one-fifth smaller; it has a short
stem and’ only four to five outside leaves, and
these so small that it may be planted twenty-
one inches apart; 13,500 to the acre. It is ready
fully a week earlier than any sort like it, and
being flat, its value can be readily appreciated.
It is a sure, solid header, always producing a
crop of large, uniform heads which seldom burst.
It is extensively grown in all sections of the
country, and is everywhere successful. Every
trucker will do well to plant it extensively. It
is well bred, the veining of the leaves heing par-
ticularly fine. There is no Cabbage we know
having a more solid head; it has also the peculiar-
ity of heading firmly at an early stage in its
growth, so that the finest Cabbage, though small,
can be obtained long before it has attained its
mature size. Its shape and large yield per acre
make it particularly valuable for truckers. (See

Original Early Jersey Wakefield.

THE BEST FIRST EARLY CABBAGE.

This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late
Peter Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best
extra early variety in cultivation, and is more largely grown
than all other First Early Cabbages combined. It is the good,
old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earli-
hess and crop. It has a good sized head for so early a variety
and the small outside leaves allow it to be closely planted;
the heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded
peak. We have the original stock, well selected, and it has
mo equal. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 85c. + lb., $3.00
Ib. (25 Ib. lots $2.76 1b.)

““ Henderson's Jersey Wakefield Cabbage is the best, and I have tried seeds from

a number of good seedsmen. Henderson's Wakefield is a reliable header, making
95 to 100 per cent. of solid heads.” W. J. SHANE, Lexington, Va.

HENDERSON'S
Early Summer Cabbage.

THE BEST SECOND EARLY CABBAGE.

Large, Round, Flat Heads, 8 to 10 Pounds Each.

This peerless variety was named and introduced by us years
ago; it is widely known and largely grown. As an ideal second
eatly Cabbage it still holds the palm. It forms large, flat,
round, solid heads, weighing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each, though
with rich cultivation it often gives 10 to 12-lb. heads. The
quality is excellent, tender and crisp.
It comes in about ten days later than
Early Jersey Wakefield, but is
much larger in size. We _ exercise
the greatest care every year in breed-
ing and selecting this variety for seed
purposes, so that Henderson’s Early
Summer of to-day will be found a far
better sort than when we originally
offered it. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt.,

“T have used your Cabbage Seed for years, and

Charleston or Large Wakefield.

THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE.

Several years ago, our customers requested us to procure
for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character-
istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size. With
this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks
of Wakefield,a larger type, which is so fixed in its character
that it is now largely grown by those desiring a Cabbage of
this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent.
larger in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a
few days later. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 85c. 4 lb.,

** Charleston Wakefield cannot be beat for solid heading. Last spring I sold
a lot to a grocer and he said they were the best Cabbages he handled.”
JAMES M. MURRAY, Monte Vista, Colo.

‘“ Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage 1s a wonder, many heads weighing 8,
10 and 12 Ibs., as solid as a rock. Out of 800 only 20 failed to head; tt seems to
be a cabbage of great vitality, and the worms and lice damage zt but little.’

HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE.

The Grandest Cabbage in Existence !

SEVEN ACRES OF

Henderson’s Succession Cabbage
PRODUCED

3,507 Barrel Crates,

Grown by John Brannen, Charleston, S. C.

Absolutely Perfect in Every Respect!

(Heads hard and uniform, averaging 10 to 12 pounds in weight and 36 inches in circumference.)

It Is Grown Largely by the Most Critical Truckers From Canada to Mexico and Receives Nothing But Praise.

The Most Reliable Cabbage Ever Raised.

ENDERSON’S SUCCESSION CABBAGE we consider
one of our most valuable contributions to horticulture.
It may be classed as a second early variety, coming in a few
days later than early Summer, but it is immeasurably superior
to that variety; it is nearly double the size and is absolutely
true to its type under all conditions. In addition to this, it
has no tendency whatever to run to seed. We can say without
exaggeration that it 1s the finest cabbage in cultivation to-day;
whether for medium early, main crop or late use, it has no
equal. It is so finely bred and so true to type that in a field of
twenty acres every head appears alike.
We can recommend it either for the market gardener, trucker
or private planter, as it is a perfect cabbage in every respect,

For Either Summer or Winter Use.

not only being of the largest size, but of handsome color and
of the finest quality. It is probably the safest variety to plant
as it does well at all seasons, and one is almost sure of getting
a crop, no matter when it is planted. Our stocks of cabbage
of all varieties have for years been the acknowledged standard
of excellence in this country, and when we state that we con-
sider Succession to be the most valuable variety that we have
ever introduced our opinion of its great merit will be apparent
to all. We could fill many pages of our catalogue with un-
solicited flattering testimonials that we have received from all
sections of the country in regard to its great excellence. (See cut.)

Danish Ball-Head Cabbage. Henderson’s Superior Strain.

This type of winter Cabbage has be-
come very popular of late years on ac-
count of its unequalled winter keeping
qualities, as well as for the great solidity
and weight of the heads; it is of strong,
vigorous habit, producing large, round,
compact heads, extremely hard and
solid, weighing, when trimmed, fully
one-fourth more than any other Cab-
bage of equal size; in consequence, it
keeps in choice condition away into the
spring. For boiling, slaw, sauerkraut,
etc., it is unsurpassed, being crisp and
tender. It seems to grow luxuriantly on
all soils and under most conditions,
withstanding hot, dry weather, and does
not rot from the effects of wet seasons,
and the heads do not burst. Our strain
is especially selected for round heads,
uniformity of size, and is abundantly
supplied with outer leaves, enveloping
the head sufficiently to be a great pro-
tection while in storage. That our
strain of Danish Ball Head Cabbage
yields more solid Cabbage to the square
rod than any other is the testimony of
large growers of winter Cabbage. (See cut and back of cover.) Price, 25c. 0z., 70c. 4 Ib., $2.25 Ib.

“EXTRA EARLY

Dwarf 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 fa-
vorable 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 un-
surpassed in appearance.

THE REST For Family or Market Garden
For Forcing or Cold F; ;
sched As old’ Frames variety atall, as its name has now become

a household word wherever this delicious

vegetableisgrown. Henderson’s Snow-
ball Cauliflower is the standard everywhere
for quality with the market gardener and the
amateur. While originally recommended and |
used as an early variety, it has not only sup-
planted all other sorts for early spring plant- |
ing, but it has largely driven out the large late
sorts for fall use, being much finer in quality,
and the one Cauliflower that is absolutely
certain to head when conditions are ordinarily
favorable, invariably forming a perfect snow- |
white head, averaging not less than 9 inches
and often attaining a size of 10 to 12 inches in
diameter, and the ‘‘flower’’ is so compact, so
deep and solid that the heads will outweigh
those of any other strain.

Henderson’s Snowball Cauliflower is su-
perior to all others. It is the earliest of all
Cauliflowers. Itsclose-growing, compacthabit
enables one-third more to be planted on the
same space of ground than can be done with
othervarieties. For forcing under glass during
winter and spring Henderson’s Snowball
is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf
growth and short outer leaves, and for this
purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely
grown. (See cut.)

vinced that HENDERSON'S Snowball is a wonder.”

GEO. A. MERRITT, Highland Mills, N. Y.

I mail you a photograph of a case, 18 x 26 inches, just holding 4 trimmed caulz-
flowers grown from Henderson's Snowball Seed, which I sent to the St. Louis Exposition,
and for which I was awarded a silver medal. For reliability of heading, fine texture and
whiteness of curd, I have never seen any cauliflower that equals your Snowball.”’

R. E. HISTED, South Haven, Mich.

“1 wish to say that your Early Snowball Cauliflower gave great satisfaction, and I
will not use any other seed. Have often had some heads weighing from 5 to 8 pounds.
No other cauliflower can equal it, and I think all gardeners would have better success by
using it.” W. L. SPARKS, Cripple, Creek, Colo.

““ Vour Snowball is the best cauliflower I can find. I have tried lots of other seed
houses that claim their Snowball 21s as good as yours, but I do not find them so. I think
your strain ts the best that can be bought for love or money.”

i PHIL ANDRE, Station D, Memphis, Tenn.

‘“ The Snowball Cauliflower seed I got from you 4 or 5 years ago was the best I ever

grew, that is the reason I am sending this distance for more.”

HENDERSON’S
CORELESS CARROT.

Although but recently distributed this highly
bred early carrot has already become very popular;
its combination of many good qualities certainly
justifying the preference given it.

Henderson’s Coreless excels all half long carrots
in earliness, productiveness, handsome appearance
and fine quality. The roots are of medium size—
6 to 7 inches long—the ideal for table use. In form
they are almost perfectly cylindrical with blunt
base, small tap root, small fine tops and a very.
smooth skin. They run very uniform and even in
size and shape, pull easily and bunch well on account
of the small shoulder, but the crowning merit of
this variety is its superb quality. The flesh of
rich orange-red is very fine grained, tender through-
out, entirely free from the woody, yellow heart or
core so usual in most red fleshed carrots. The
flavor is also mild, sweet and delicious.

Both for the home garden and for market, Hen-
derson’s Coreless Carrot is perfection

Price, 15c. 0z., 40c. 4 lb., $1.25 Ib.

HENDERSON’s SELECTED DANVERS CARROT.

A handsome, half-long, stump-rooted Carrot of good size and of a rich, dark or-
ange color; it grows to a large size, is smooth, and the flesh very close in texture
with very little core and a small tap-root. It is a first-class Carrot for all soils;
under good cultivation it has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre with the smallest length:
of root of any now grown, and is more easily harvested than long Carrots. Our
selected stock is specially grown for market gardeners, to whom it gives the best
satisfaction. (See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 35c. { Ib., $1.00 Ib.

For our cheaper strain of Danvers see page 36.

shape, fine color, fine quality and fine yield.” A. L. PAYNE, Cold Spring, N. VY.

CHANTENAY HALF-LONG SCARLET CARROT.

A short, thick, stump-rooted sort of handsome shape, very productive and
of fine quality. It is very largely grown for bunching and as an early basket sort.
It is remarkably even in shape and size; no sort equals it in this respect. For me-
dium early and main crop it is unexcelled. It is not recommended for winter storing.

“Your Half-Long Scarlet Carrot is an early and very productive kind.”
L. W. TAYLOR, Napavine, Wash.

HENDERSON'S NEW YORK MARKET CARROT.

This Carrot, introduced by us, has become a standard variety. Its quick growth
makes it valuable for early bunching. It is handsome and symmetrical, of bright
orange color; flesh crisp, tender and sweet, almost coreless, unexcelled for bunching,
and as a basket sort it commands top prices, its attractive color and fine shape al-
Ways giving it prominence. Price, 10c. 0z., 25c. + lb., 7Oc. lb.

HENDERSON'S INTERMEDIATE CARROT.

The best main crop and late Carrot. It is most uniform in shape, long-tapering,
heavy shouldered, and where the soil is favorable it will always grow clean and free
from side roots. The core is small and very tender, and there is no woody char-
acter at any stage of its growth. It is also entirely free from any coarse, rank flavor
and .its yielding capacity is enormous, which, with its handsome color and fine ap-
pearance, makes it invaluable to truckers. The color is maintained right along
throughout the winter and they come out of the pits as bright and fresh as when
first dug. This makes it the best sort for winter storing. Price, 10c. 0z., 25c. } Ib.,

IHHENDERSON’S SILVER SELF-BLANCHING CELERY.

Combines the grand qualities of the
two most popular celeries grown.

The sturdy, solid habit of
Golden Self-Blanching.

The exquisite color and earliness of
White Plume.

This grand Celery is easily described
to Celery experts when we say that it is
a Golden Self-Blanching plant with
White Plume coloring; it possesses the
robust, sturdy, compact habit of Golden
Self-Blanching, the stalks being even
thicker, more solid and heavy, with
immense solid hearts and all brittle,
crisp and tender, free from string or
pithiness, and of delightfully rich flavor.

To these ideal qualities are added
the beautiful silvery-white coloring and
self-blanching characteristics of White
Plume, that is, the foliage is tipped and
variegated with white, while the heart,
inner stalks and leaves are naturally
white, and the plants may be easily and

HENDERSON’S PERFECTED VVHITE PLUME CELERY.

The Earliest Variety—can be Blanched in September.

White Plume Celery was introduced by us
years ago, and is now more popular than ever.
There is no trouble in blanching White Plume
for banking up is not necessary when wanted
early. The peculiarity of this variety is that
the stalk, portions of inner leaves and heart are
white naturally, so that it can be blanched
in a-few days by simply leaning boards
against it. Though one of the
most popular early sorts if grown
similar to late varieties it will be
found:a very good keeper, which
is not generally known. Unfor-
tunately, the variety has always
had a tendency to revert to the
old green type, but persevering
selection for years enables us
now to offer an almost absolutely
pure stock. At the same time
we have been selecting for size

Henderson’s Superior Stock.

THs grand variety of French origin is becoming
more popular every year and is now one of
the most extensively grown sorts, both for private
use and for market. It is as early as White Plume,
and possesses the same self-blanching characteris-
tics and is of heavier and more compact growth,
the stalks being thick, crisp and brittle while the
hearts are large and solid, all blanching a beautiful
waxen-yellow; the quality is superb, tender and free
from stringiness; flavor rich and delightful. Our
seed is grown from a very select strain and pro-
nounced by expert Celery growers as very superior.
(See cut.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 4 lb., $4.50 Ib.

“We can say with pleasure that your Golden Self-Blanching
Celery is the best Celery we ever had on our table; zts beautiful, crisp,
sweet stalks are relished by our whole family. It must be the finest
Celery grown; at least we do not want a better.”” :

Mrs. Wm. MORGAN, Springfield, 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 another source, lost nearly all their crops from hollow Celery.’’

R. J. DALLINGER, Akron, Ohio.

GIANT PASCAL CELERY.

A popular variety for winter use; of vigorous,

sturdy growth, making immensely thick and
heavy stalks and large heavy hearts, all remaining
deep green until blanched by earthing up or being
stored for winter. It blanches to a cream-yellow,
when the stalks are extremely brittle, entirely string-
less and exceedingly crisp; flavor rich and nutty.

THE FINEST OF ALL FOR WINTER AND SPRING USE. *

This variety has been bred from the standard long-keeping celery—
Henderson’s Golden Dwarf—over which it is a grand improvement. It
has the same robust, stocky growth—requiring but little labor in earthing
up for blanching—and makes heavy, broad and solid heart stalks, free
from pith and string, which blanch creamy-white and are so crisply tender
that, held by the head, a stalk will almost break of its own weight. In
quality it is not surpassed by any celery grown, the esteemed ‘‘ sweet,
nutty flavor ’’ being noticed the moment tasted. It is so hardy in constitu-
tion that neither heart nor outside stalks are liable to rot when trenched for
the winter, keeping well into late spring in prime condition. In bunching
there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts require but little trimming.
We consider this the very best type and strain of winter-keeping celery in
existence. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. 0z., $1.00 + lb., $3.25 Ib.

__ = HENDERSON'S ————
GOLDEN DWARF CELERY.

EXTRA SELECTED STOCK.

T His standard winter celery was introduced by ourselves;

it has a large heart with solid, fleshy stalks, first green,
then golden, medium tall. The broad, heavy stalks are al-
ways solid to the centre and when stored in banks, trenches
or Celery houses, the hearts blanch to a beautiful golden hue.
In bunching there is very little waste, for the enormous hearts;
require but little trimming.

This variety now constitutes the great bulk of main crop
Celery in all sections. In the great Celery-growing districts
of Kalamazoo, Mich., it is planted almost to the exclusion of
all others. Price, 25c. oz., 80c. + lb:, $2.75 lb.

“You cannot speak too highly of Henderson’s Golden Dwarf Celery. I
raised the finest Celery I ever saw from your seed of this variety; at as the Cilery

to grow for quantity; its quality, too, is of the highest order.

~ Henderson’s New Early “Sugar-Sweet’ Corn

A very early variety being ready to use in from nine to ten weeks
from sowing, or only two or three days later than the very earliest
variety grown, to which Hiawatha is far superior in size and qual-
ity. The ears are about eight inches long, compactly filled with
12 to 14 and occasionally 16 rows of medium-sized. long, plump,
white kernels. The plant grows about five feet high, bearing no
less than two ears to a stalk and frequently three ears, all very
uniform in shape and size. Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk.. ~

Pocahontas Sweet

Corn is positively 3 days
earlier than any other
sweet corn grown, re-
gardless of the claims
for earliness made for
some other varieties, for
we have proven it so in
our trial grounds for two
years alongside all other
early varieties offered by
other houses.
Pocahontas is the re-
sult of a selection for
several years from the
White Cob Cory. In ad-
dition to earliness and
uniformity of plant it is
remarkably productive.
The ears are stout, evenly and compactly filled with tender white kernels of very fine

quality for so early a variety. (See cut.) Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush.

WHITE .COB CORY

Extra Early Sweet Corn.

An extremely early variety, usually fit to use in from fifty to sixty days from seed
sowing. It retains all the good qualities of its parent, but has a white cob and the grains
are free from the objectionable reddish tinge that occurs in the red cob variety. The
plants are dwarf and stocky, enabling them to be closely planted. It is not only the best
first early sweet corn but it is valuable to plant late in summer for autumn use. Price,
25c. qt., $1.30 pk., $4.50 bush.

HENDERSON'S METROPOLITAN SWEET CORN—Extra Early.

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

It is safe to say that there has never been on the market any one variety of Corn that
combined the essential features of earliness and good flavor in a satisfactory degree. In
these important characteristics, Metropolitan certainly outclasses any other variety. It
is only two days later than Cory, which has been the most popular early sort. |

The plant is distinct, being very strong in stalk, growing 5} feet in height. Theleaves _
are numerous, narrow and very dark green in color. The ears, two to three to the plant,
are all set low. They are uniformly 9 inches long, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled to the tip
with large, deep grains, which are very tender. It is not merely sweet, but possesses that
exquisite richness so well known in the larger and later sorts. An ample husk insures
its remaining in the “ milk ’”’ longer than is usual with early varieties. (See cut.)

Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush.

HENDERSON'S COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SWEET CORN.

The Best, Most Productive and Salable of Main Crop Varieties.

Is the finest of all Sweet Corns. It retains its tenderness and flavor even when a
little old, as the ears are enclosed in a heavy husk, which tends to keep the ear “‘in the
milk ’’ for several days longer than other corns. The ears average eight to nine inches in
length, cob small; plump white kernels of great depth fill the ear from end to end. It is
a very safe and reliable cropper. Price, 25c. qt., $1.50 pk., $5.00 bush.

THE “HENDERSON SVWEET CORN

This is an ideal corn. It follows after the early varieties, and is ready for the table
about two weeks before the latest sorts. The ‘‘ Henderson ’’ Corn produces uniformly
large, thick ears, averaging twelve inches in length, being compac.ly filled from buct to
tip with long milky-white kernels of luscious tenderness. The. toothsome quality is re-
tained for a much longer time than with most corns -The plants are luxuriant, healthy
growers, are scarcely affected by drought, and are wonderfully prolific. For the home
garden it is peerless, and is one of the most valuable sorts grown for canning and market.

. ENDERSON’S “BIG BOSTON” LET TUCE

= FIENDERSONS BIG POSTON JUeT UC s, =
A GRAND LARGE CABBAGE LETTUCE.

For either Midsummer or Fall use. Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp White Heads.

HIS 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
summer and fall use, or in frames for spring, or forced cool in greenhouse for winter
use, it invariably gives both grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing dur-
ing all seasons, under ordinarily favorable conditions, splendid large buttery-yellow
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. Although Big Boston
is one of our best large-heading midsummer lettuces, it is also peculiarly adapted
for cool open-ground culture; large areas of it may be seen in the vicinity of New
York as late as Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt hay amply protects the plants
from hard frosts, and when cut for market the leaves are as fresh, bright and untinged
as ifin midsummer. Thousands of acres of it are grown during the winter in Florida
and other Southern States for shipping to Northern markets; as far north as Maine it
is a wonderfully popular summer lettuce; in fact, we know of no other variety that
gives such general satisfaction under so many varied conditions. (See cut.) Price,

Henderson’s Perfected Salamander Lettuce.

Extra Selected Market Gardeners Strain.

This is one of the standard vegetables introduced by us, and the de-
mand for it has steadily increased until it is the leading variety grown by
market gardeners for summer heading.

Lettuces naturally thrive better during the codler weather of spring
and fall than in a torrid summer, the season really when such crisp, cooling
salad is in great demand, consequently there has been bred a number of
heat-resisting or summer lettuces, among which our Perfected Salamander
is the acknowledged leader. It forms good-sized, compact and tender
heads, creamy-white inside and of that desirable rich buttery flavor, outer
color, light green; it remains
longer in head without running
to seed than any other variety,
and stands a great amount of
heat without burning. We recom-
mend it to critical market garden-
ers. (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz.,
50c. } Ib., $1.50 Ib.

‘* The Salamander Lettuce I bought from
you last season produced the best Lettuce I
have ever grown notwithstanding a very dry
season.”

GRAND RAPIDS
LETTUCE

This does not form compact
heads but a large mass of beauti-
fully curly crisp leaves, tender
and delicious; it is the best of the
loose-leaved sorts. A rapid grower
and admirable for field or indoor
culture, its upright habit pre-
vents leaf-rot when grown under
glass. Price, 15c. oz., 35c. + lb.,
$1.00 Ib.

HENDERSON'S NEW
‘Tenderheart Lettuce.

This is similar to the old Boston Market in gen-
eral appearance, but is superior to it in every way.
The plant is of thesame size, but the head proper is
much larger, and it has fewer outside leaves. Its
value to the market gardener liesin its remarkable
uniformity, every plant coming true to type, and in
its ability to stand after maturity without going to
seed. It has the bright attractive color of Sala-
mander, though the outer leaves are a shade darker.
It is without doubt the best first early market lettuce.
(See cut.)

Price, 25c. 0z., 75c. + lb., $2.50 Ib.

heads were solid, large and fine. Could have sold more if I had
them.”” JAMES T. GARRETT. Oberlin, Ohio.

MAMMOTH
Black-Seeded Butter Lettuce

An enormous heading variety of the popular old
Black-Seeded Butter, so extensively grown for early
field and frame crops.

This Mammoth variety has broad, slightly un-
dulated leaves almost smooth, of the handsome pale
green color selling so well on the Eastern Markets.
The very large head is compact, tender, sweet and
crisp; from 30 to 40 heads fill a barrel. We recom-
mend it for early spring, and it is especially fine for
late fall, but it is not a midsummer variety, as the
heat is apt to scald it. It is sometimes sold as
Mammoth Salamander. Price, 15c. 0z., 40c. } Ib.,

HENDERSON'S
Genuine Rocky Ford Musk Melon.

A Sweet, Luscious Melon that has Become World-Famous for its
Captivating Flavor.

“ ROCKY FORD ” has proven to be a most valuable Musk Melon;
its size, shape and quality exactly suit melon epicures. It somewhat
resembles the old ‘\ Netted Gem.” but is more oval in shape. The
vines are exceedingly healthy and vigorous, bearing an enormous
quantity of fruits during the entire season. It is safe to say that no
melon has ever come into the New York markets which has sold so
readily and at such high prices as the “‘ Rocky Ford,” often to the
exclusion of other varieties. The color of the skin is of a rich green-
ish gold; the netting is prominent and light in?color; appearance very
attractive. The flesh is very deep, ripening clear to the rind, and it
has an exceedingly small seed cavity. It is very sweet and luscious
in flavor, and is entirely devoid of any stringy character. Our seed
was specially grown for us by a careful grower at Rocky Ford, and
is the best type of the genuine ‘“‘ Rocky Ford’’ Musk Melon. It has
been used in many sections and is pronounced by melon growers a
very superior strain. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 0z., 25c. 4 lb., 80c. Ib.

New Early is a selection or improvement almost equal
in size to the Hackensack, and at least ten days ear-
lier. Several years’ thorough trial has proven it to be
the best as well as the earliest of all large netted mel-
ons. The melons weigh from four to six pounds each.
The skin is green and thickly netted; flesh is light
green, of delicious flavor, rich and sugary. It is also a
luxuriant, healthy grower, and exceedingly productive.
(See cut.) Price, 15c. 0z., 45c. 4+ lb., $1.50 Ib.

“T find Early Hackensack remarkably healthy and vigorous. They
are the most prolific melons I have ever raised, the ground being liter-

melon being fine-grained and possessing the same sweet delicious flavor.
They stand at the head of the varieties I have tried.”

HENDERSON'S
SUPERIOR SOUTHPORT

GLOBE ONION.

These highly-bred and critically-selected types of South-
port Globe Onions are so superior in shape, size, solidity and
yield to the onions raised from California strains that we have
discarded all western-grown seed, our customers and our-
selves having proven it economy to use Henderson’s Con-
necticut-grown Globe Onion Seed—even at the higher price.

Handsome Onions of immense size, averaging 9 to 10 inches
in circumference, solid, heavy and of perfect globe shape;
flesh close-grained, sparkling white, cooking tender and mild.
They are hardy, splendid keepers and big yielders averaging
under good culture from 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Our
strain is absolutely unsurpassed, being grown by _ ex-
perts from bulbs critically selected for largest size, solidity,
color and typical globe shape, with small necks, thus insuring
thorough and regular ripening and curing. (See cut.)

Henderson's Southport Globe Onion Seed.

“TI grew about 2,000 bushels of your White GLOBE ONIONS this
year. I got as high as 900 bushels to the acre, all beautiful Onions. I
will want a considerable quantity of pure WHITE GLOBE eastern-
grown seed, just like the seed you sent me last spring. It was splendid
and without any mixture whatever.”

JAMES McVITTY, Perry, Ohio.

“TI think your Southport Yellow Globe Onion Seed is entitled to
more prominence in your catalogue. It is the best strain of onions in
this country to-day. On five acres of ground I grew 5,186 bushels of
sound Onions. JI hope yen wall send me the same this year. I don’t
ask you to bid on poor seed.”

AS WEHr FRANCK, Market Gardener. Kingston, Pa.
‘““ My patch of Southport Red Globe Onion is causing lots of com=
ment among the neighbors; all agree that nothing better was ever grown
im this section.”’ J. A. DENNIS, Philadelphia, Pa.

Bie ELEOVY, (GLOBE. DANVERS:
A STANDARD VARIETY EVERYWHERE.

Shape round and uniform, not “necky.’’ Bright
attractive color, mild flavor, fine quality. Early,
but sure keeper. Heavy cropper, good seller.
More extensively grown than any other Onion.

This is probably the finest all-around onion grown.
The enormous quantities annually shipped to market
prove its popularity, and it is more largely grown than
any other variety. We take unusual precautions to
maintain the highest degree of perfection in our stock,
and can confidently claim superiority for it. The shape
is round, a little depressed at top and bottom. The
color is rich brownish-yellow, making a most attractive
bulb. It is medium in size, but remarkably solid and
heavy, producing as much weight per acre as any vari-
ety grown. It can be used to great advantage from
the earliest date to the last, as it is one of the surest
keepers. (See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. + lb., $1.40 Ib.,

Prizetaker Onion.

The Grandest Variety Grown
for the American Climate.
EXCELS IN YIELD—EXCELS IN SIZE.

Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness Are Unequalled
Even by the Bermuda Varieties.

HE PRIZETAKER ONION is recognized as one
of our best standard varieties. It succeeds
everywhere—east, west, north and south—and
whether grown for home use or for marketing it
gives universal satisfaction, yielding onions often
14 inches around and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500
bushels per acre—often much more under excep-
tionally good culture. Its immense size and mild-
ness of flavor delight everyone who raises it.
Nothing short of actual knowledge of this variety
will convey a really adequate idea of its great
value, whether considered as a variety for com-
mercial or private culture. Its immense size will
recommend it to all, particularly when it is known
that its keeping qualities are unexcelled. The
exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior
clear sparkling white. It is medium early in
maturing. (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. } Ib.,

“I cannot speak too highly of your Prizetaker Onion, which
ytelded at the rate of 1,200 bushels per acre. They were perfect in
shape and very large, many specimens reaching 16 to 18 inches
in circumference. one 1n particular being 184 inches around. 1
desire to compliment you for the true merit all your seed possesses.”

JAMES TORRANCE, Oreano, Idaho.

“I planted your Prizetaker Onion last spring, the yield was
tmmense, at least double that of yellow Globe Danvers, grown
under sante conditions.” S. GRAFF, Johnstown, N. Y.

White Portugal or Silver Skin Onion.

The leading White Flat Onion. The bulbs attain a good size,
ripening evenly; the color is a beautiful silvery-white when cured under
cover. Its shape is flat but symmetrical. It is not only early, but
is a good keeper. Tor slicing and boiling it is one of the best, the flesh
being mild and tender. It is largely grown for pickles when sown three
or four times as thick as usual and is also extensively sown for sets

Onion Seed is excellent, the best I have ever used. I can ratse double with your seed

HENDERSON'S
Hollow Crown Parsnip.

THIS is a highly improved type producing uniformly large and

handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well
rounded, gradually tapering to the base, so that they are easily dug,
and if grown in properly pulverized soil, the surface will be smooth
and unusually free from wrinkles and side roots. . The flesh is of fine
texture, free from core and stringiness. The roots may remain in
the ground all winter, being hardy, or some may be dug late in the
fall and stored in sand or soil, so that they can be gotten at easily
when the ground is frozen. This Parsnip is the heaviest cropper of
all and we recommend it to market gardeners. (See cut.) Price

used.”’ WILL H. BROWN, Muncie, Ind.

THE TRUCKER’S FAVORITE.

Henderson's First of All Pea.

The Finest First Early. The Most Uniform in Ripening.
A Heavy Cropper. A Money-Maker for the Trucker.

Few vegetables have held their place in the public esteem for so
many years as our First of all Pea. It stands to-day unrivalled,
either as a first early or main crop pea; indeed, we do not think we
are wrong in claiming that it is used to a greater extent than any
other variety in any of the seasons in which peas can be obtained.
It is the only type of pea which can safely be used at all seasons,
and there is none approaching it which can be used in such a variety
of climes and over so great a latitude; it has grown with equal success
in the coldest and warmest climates, apparently having the power
to resist extreme climatic conditions possessed by no other type.
Since we sent this out there have been many attempts at imitating it,
but the enormous increase of sales gives silent testimony to the ac-
knowledged superiority of Henderson’s First of All over all would-be
competitors, and it stands to-day a money-maker for the trucker.

Its first important feature is its extreme earliness. It comes into
bearing a few days ahead of any other variety, thus 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, never exceeding 24 feet in height. An-
other very important feature for the trucker is the fact that 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, owing to constant and
watchful selection, by which we have been able to eliminate from it
every undesirable feature, such as small double pods, irregularity in
height, and weak spindling habit, which forms so iarge a part of the
crop of many so-called First Earlies. (See cut.)

Price, 25c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush.

“My FIRST OF ALL Peas were from ten to fifteen days earlier than any other farmer's in my section who

did not plant Hend 's Peas; and they are the best peas I ever planted and I have tied many varieties.”

This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, usually ready for cels such rivalsas American Wonder. The even, regular habit of
table in 40 to 45 days from planting, only a few days later than the plant is also a great advantage, particularly to market
the early round sorts. It grows about 14 inches high, or about growers. Nott’s Excelsior has not only come to stay, but

Juno Pea.
A Dwarf Main Crop Wrinkled Marrow Pea.
Enormously Prolific. Superb Flavor.

A main crop variety, of vigorous constitution, making a
strong branching plant, 2 feet in height, therefore requiring little
or no brushing. It produces an abundance of the finest peas
possible, the vines being actually laden with pods. These are
dark green, stout and heavy, containing from 7 to 9 peas of the
finest quality, which so thoroughly fill the pod as to make it
almost cylindricalin shape. The peas, too, possess the admirable
merit of preserving their tenderness and superb flavor long after
they are young, and also retain their attractive dark green color
when served at table. Price, 25c. qt., $1.75 pk., $6.50 bush.

‘Thomas Laxton Pea.
A Fine New Early Wrinkled Marrow.

An extra early wrinkled Marrow Pea that has proven to be a
valuable addition to this class. The plant grows about 3 feet
high, resembling that of 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 uni-
formly 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, adding to their attractive-
ness when served on the table. Thomas Laxton is a good, re-
liable pea, uniformly constant to type and about as early as
Prosperity, though some report it 3 or 4 days later. Price, 30c.

common. The pods, the largest of all varie-

the sweet buttery flavor of the true English

ENDERSON'S

THE EARLIEST LARGE WRINKLED OR MARROW PEA.

This grand, extra early, large-podded wrinkled marrow Pea—in-
troduced into America by us in 1897—has each year increased in
popular favor, not only steadily but with whirlwind rapidity. ‘‘ Once
grown it is thereafter indispensable,” is the way one of our customers
puts it.

The distinctive merits of Henderson’s Prosperity Pea over any other
variety are its extreme earliness combined with its abundant produc-
tion of immense pods, each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled
marrow peas of the most delicious flavor—as large, as sweet and as
tender as the finest late wrinkled marrow pea grown. When one con-
siders 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.

The vine of Prosperity is of vigorous, robust growth, about 24 feet
high, heavy-stemmed with luxuriant healthy foliage; it bears uni-
formly large, handsome pods of large and luscious peas, and although
it commences bearing so very early it continues for a long time; the
peas also remain sweet and tender for some time after they are fit
to pick. (See cut.) Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush.

“ My Prosperity Peas are a sight to behold. I picked my first on the 7th of June (a
small extra-early one, just one day ahead). I planted them the same day. When they
become known they will displace all other early peas. As good as the best lates and as
early as the earliest.’ ROBERT BIRCH, Market Gardener, Plymouth, Mtch.

HENDERSON'S NEw POTATO EARLY hUSSsEae

This NEW SEEDLING is POTATO PERFECTION. The Earliest Grown
and the Best Early Grown. Big, Reliable Yielder, Handsome,
Healthy, of Superfine Quality, and a Good Keeper.

Henderson’s Early Russet.

Henderson’s early Russet we believe to be not only the earliest
potato grown but the best early potato grown. It is a Seedling
of 1903, bred from two famous early varieties, and grown in
Maine, the “ potato paradise,’’ which produces the best seed
potatoes in America.

In earliness Henderson’s Early Russet leads the field, usually
being large enough for cooking in eight weeks from planting,
and in 9 to 10 weeks is fully matured.

It is a very handsome potato of rounding, oval form, very
uniform, in shape and size averaging 4 to 5 inches in length—
sometimes larger, seldom smaller. The eyes are on the surface
and very shallow. The skin of creamy-buff is netted golden
russet, nature’s hall-mark, as all critics know, of potato quality
—which axiom is fully sustained in Henderson’s Early Russet,
for the flesh is fine-grained, as white as snow, cooks dry and floury,
“sheds its jacket ’’ when boiled, and its flavor is particularly mild
and delicious.

The vines, while of neat, compact, upright growth, make large,
healthy foliage which has so far proved to be blight proof. The tubers grow
bunched compactly in the hill, permitting close planting, rows 2 to 24 feet
apart and hills 9 to 10 inches apart, with only one eye to a hill. Under this
method the potatoes will grow as nearly alike as peas in a pod and yield sur-
prisingly large crops.

Not the least of the merits of Henderson’s Early Russet is its wonderful
keeping quality. Although it matures so early yet it will keep—properly
stored—in prime condition, firm and plump, until June. (See cut.)

Price, buyer pays expressage or freight, $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel, $10.00 bbl.
of 165 ibs. net weight (net cash.)

‘““ This season has been the driest I ever saw. No rain whatever while early
potatoes were growing, yet your Early Russet beat all other early kinds, such

as Irish Cobbler, Bliss, Beauty of Hebron, Queen, Dewdrop, etc., hardly any
of these being of salab’e size.’ W. E. JOHNSON, Leomunster, Mass.

Henderson's Early Bovee Potato.

HENDERSON’S BOVEE is not only an extra early potato, but it takes
a leading place among the heavy cropping varieties, an unusual thing
among first earltes. It is even earlier than Early Ohio, while in all com-
petitive trials. ‘‘ Bovee”’ has outyielded all the early Potatoes, and in many
of the tests zt has outytelded even the late varieties. The vine is dwarf
and stocky, enabling it to be planted six inches closer than nearly all
other varieties, which results in a much larger return per acre, and is a
feature of great importance where land is valuable. The tubers grow re-
markably close, all bunched together in the hill close up to the vine.
They size up to marketable tubers more evenly than any Potato we
ever saw; none too large or too small; practically the whole crop being
merchantable and the quality is perfect. We have only one warning—
it is apt to prove disappointing on poor soil or with poor cultivation, as it
sets so freely the tubers are apt to be small. But on good Potato ground,
well fertilized and cultivated, no other early Potato surpassesit. (See cut.)

Price, 65c. pk., $2.25 bush., $4.75 bbl. of 165 lbs., net weight (net cash.)

“ Your Bovee is the best early potato we have ever had. They yield well, are dry and mealy,

and thetr flavor is excellent.’
J. E. A. GIBBS, Raphine, Va.

Irish Cobbler Potato.

A very fine early variety extensively grown for market in some lo-
calities. The tubers are very handsome, almost round, averaging very
uniform in shape and size. Flesh white and of excellent quality, skin,
cream and buff with whitish netting. This is a very reliable variety
and heavy cropper.

in form and of the finest quality, the flesh being fine grained, white—
cooking dry and mealy. It is very productive and a splendid keeper.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE. This is the most popular forcing
Radish on the market to-day. It is grown very largely in the
Eastern States to supply the enormous demand in New York,
Boston and other eastern markets, where its brilliant color and
attractive shape have secured for it a prominent place. It
matures in 21 days, and has a very small top. No variety looks
better in the bunch, none holds the color longer, or remains
firmer after pulling. Our stock is not equalled by any to-day,
and is selected specially for the most critical trade, some growers
buying as much as 500 lbs. annually for forcing purposes.

RED FORCING. This is one of the best of the small, round
red forcing varieties. It is very finely bred throughout, the
tops are very small, the flesh is white, exceedingly tender, crisp
and of mild flavor. The outer color, a very vivid red, is very
attractive and presents a fine appearance when bunched. It can
be easily marketed in 21 days from sowing. Price, 10c. oz.,

THE BEST VARIETIES FOR
MARKET GARDENERS.

EARLY CRIMSON GIANT. A new Early Turnip Radish
larger in size than any of the early turnip-shaped type. This
variety develops to 6 and often 7 inches in circumference,
weighing up to one ounce; but notwithstanding its size, it
does not get hollow or pithy, the flesh remaining sparklingly
white, solid, crisp and juicy, and of the mildest flavor. The
shape of the root varies between round and almost oval, but
the bright, deep crimson color of the skin remains quite con-
stant. Excellent both for forcing and open-ground culture.

growing in frames; of medium size; shape very uniform and
round; color, bright scarlet, with a distinct white tip, contrast-

RAPID FORCING. A fine variety. It resembles the White
Tipped Scarlet Turnip, but is a little smaller, though earlier,
coming to maturity in 22 days from time of sowing, and having
very small tops, will prove to be the radish for forcing purposes.

Radish, being of unusually quick growth, about 2 inches iong

Henderson’s Long Season Spinach.

SPINACH quickly runs to seed in hot weather.

With this variety, it may now be contin-
uously grown. It forms a dense rosette of thick,
tender, crumpled leaves of intensely dark green color;
their great substance and short leaf stalks enable
them to “ stand up’”’ in hot weather. There is no
other variety that will stand so long without running
to seed and remain in an edible condition. (See cut.)

Price 5c. 0z., 10c. 4 1b., 25c. Ib.

VICTORIA. A dwarf, compact variety, with :
heavy, broad, deep green leaves, as crumpled as Cree
Savoy; of fine, succulent quality; it stands in prime
condition long after other varieties have bolted to
seed, rendering it especially valuable for spring sow- \
ing and summer use. Price 5c. 0z., 10c. 4 Ib., 16c. Ib.,
$14.00 per 100 Ibs.

S P | N Js Cc The Best Varieties
for Fall Sowing.
Henderson’s Thick-Leaved Spinach. The best sort
for fall sowing to winter over for spring cutting, being very
hardy. It produces large, thick, bright green crumpled
leaves of fine quality, yielding a heavy crop, and is one
of the best market sorts. It is also much used for spring
sowing, being slow to run to seed and standing the heat
well until about the middle of June. (See cut.) Price 5c.
0z., 10c. 4 Ib., 16c. Ib., $14.00 per 100 Ibs.

NORFOLK SAVOY-LEAVED SPINACH. A very popular
variety to sow for the late fall cutting. It is quick grow-
ing and a heavy cropper, producing large, fleshy, dark
green leaves as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage.
It is largely grown in the South for winter and early
spring crops. If sown in the spring it must be cut as
soon as ready, as it quickly runs to seed. Price 5c. oz.,
10c. } Ib., 16c. lb., $14.00 per 100 Ibs.

Mammoth Sandwich

ONE of the most delicious of winter
vegetables, and also one of the most
nutritious.

This new variety, where known, is en-
tirely superseding the old type, as it pro-
duces roots nearly double the size and
weight and of equally good quality. Seed
sown in spring produces large, fine roots
that may remain in the ground all winter
or may be dug and stored in sand or earth in
November, thus keeping them plump and
sweet, to be sold during the winter. (See

SUMMER SQUASH,

MAMMOTH BUSH SUMMER CROOKNECK.

A highly improved early type of the
popular yellow Summer Crookneck. The
squashes of this new sort are nearly double
the size, measuring 20 to 24 inches in
length, are solid, heavy and freely
produced on healthy, vigorous
plants of compact bush habit;
fruits heavily warted; surface color
deep golden; flesh yellow and of su-
perior quality. (See cut.) Price, 10c.

HENDERSON’S LONG ISLAND
WHITE BUSH.

The white scalloped ‘‘Patty Pan”’
or ‘‘ Cymling ”’ has for years been
a favorite summer Squash, on ac-
count of its earliness, etc., but
this new sort is a vast improve-
ment; it is nearly as early, more
prolific and the fruits are much
deeper, and have less prominent
scallops, consequently are easier
prepared, contain less waste and
almost twice the amount of flesh,
which is also of finer quality. The
plants are of the true bush habit.

Price, 10c. 0z., 20c. + lb., 60c. Ib.

HUBBARD. (Henderson’s Superior Strain.) This
old and popular favorite is still one of the very
best winter squashes grown; flesh deep golden-
yellow and fine-grained, and whether boiled,
steamed or baked, it is always richly flavored,
sweet and dry. The vines are strong, luxuriant
in growth and very productive, yielding large,
heavy fruits of dark bluish-green color, weigh-
ing often 10 to 25 lbs. each. Properly stored
it may be kept from September to May. Price,
10c. 0z., 25c. 4 Ib., 80c. lb.

LARGE WARTED HUBBARD. A very large
strain of the famous Hubbard, retaining all the
excellent features of the parent. It has thicker
flesh, finer color, greater size, better constitution
and productiveness. It has an extremely khard
rough or warty shell which not only indicates su-
perior quality, but renders it one of the best
winter keepers. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 0z., 25c.

SPARKS’ FARLIANA “}LOMATIO!

EXTREMELY EARLY.

Sparks’ Earliana is a wonderfully
early and exceedingly prolific me-
dium-sized, uniform, smooth and at-
tractively shaped, bright scarlet
tomato, of great solidity and fine
flavor. It is one of the earliest
tomatoes grown, having been evolved
through keen competition in a to-
mato-growing section in Southern
New Jersey, where earliness and qual-
ity secure profitable returns. The
plant is of neat, moderate growth,
but quite hardy, and well set with
clusters of from 5 to § fruits, aver-
aging 23 inches through, nearly all
ripening up remarkably early and
evenly; of great value to the market
gardener where early tomatoes are
an object. (See cut.)

Price, 30c. 0z., 90c. 4 lb., $2.75 Ib.

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO.

One of the Best Early Tomatoes for Market. Large, Smooth, Handsome,
Exceedingly Prolific.

One of the handsomest and best of the several recently introduced early
varieties. It is not the earliest but only about a week later than Earliana.
The fruit of Jewel, however, averages much larger, often weighing from 12
to 16 ounces each. Very deep, uniform, smooth, solid, of fine quality, and
brilliant scarlet in color. It is a very heavy cropper, bearing throughout
the season. The fruits if picked as soon as ripe do not rot or crack even in
wet weather. The plants are vigorous, healthy and so hardy they may be
planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable for the private garden
and especially so for market.

Price, 30c. 0z., 90c. } Ib., $2.75 Ib.

EARLY FFREEDOM "] OMaaie

THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE.

Not only Early, but a prodigious and continuous bearer until frost. Fruits
of moderate size, as handsome and uniform as if moulded. Quality,
solidity and flavor surpassingly fine.

fi] Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early tomato grown.
Its value lies not only in the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that
such enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called
‘‘ Earlies’’ are ripening only a few. The fruits are of good size, perfectly
round, and remarkably handsome, smooth as glass, and of brilliant scarlet.
The flesh is remarkably solid, having but few seeds. The flavor is perfect,
absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large clusters, in
phenomenal abundance and continuously, from the middle of July (in this
latitude) until killed by frost. We highly recommend it, not only for its
extreme and bountiful earliness, but as a good, all-seasons variety. Fine
fruits can be picked from it in the fall, long after other varieties have ceased
bearing; in fact, this variety even increases in size up to its last picking.
This last feature is a very valuable one to the trucker. It also has a very
tough skin and flesh is very firm, making it the best shipper and keeper of
the Early varieties. (See cut.) Price, 25c. oz., 80c. + lb., $2.50 lb.

‘“T used. your Freedom Tomato last season; it is the best tomato I ever grew, and zs a heavy

cropper.” G. W. SMITH, Ellenton, Fla.
‘“ The Freedom Tomato fruits are especially perfect. I do not think it can be surpassed as
an all-around tomato.” M. E. POND, Conneaut, Ohio.

“TI had ripe fruits of your new tomato, Freedom, the 16th of July, which is early for thas cl1-
mate. The same vines are still bearing (Sept. 8th) and will do so until frost, new fruits coming on
all the time.” Mrs. M. A. SMITH, White House, N. J

———CRINE’S JUNE PINK TOMATO.

This variety has rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It
is a selection from Spark’s Earliana, but it has a distinct advan-
tage in color, being of the bright purplish pink known as the
“ Acme Color.’”’ This insures its more ready sale on some markets
where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop
of marketable sized fruits as early in the season as the earliest
varieties. Its shipping qualities are admirable.

The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center of the
plant exposed, so that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly ex-
posed to the sun, which facilitates the early ripening.

The fruits are generally smooth. The flesh is remarkably solid,
and of a most agreeable flavor, so whether used for shipping or
for local markets, it will certainly meet with favor. (See cut.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 } Ib., $4.00 Ib.

BEAU HOMAT©:

Early, prolific, medium sized, smooth and solid; fruits until late
in the season. We wish to call special attention to our stock of
this tomato. It has been bred to such perfection that it is the
best all-round variety for the market gardener. The plant is
robust, and yields enormous crops of perfectly shaped fruits during
the entire season. It is almost round, solid and meaty, the color
is deep purplish-red and is not affected by extremes in tempera-
ture, and the tough skin makes it an ideal shipper; the best of
the “ purple ” varieties. (See cut.) Price, 25c. oz., 70c. + Ib., $2.25 Ib.

SONE MOMAdnO:

This is one of the best and most popular main crop varieties for
market gardeners. The plant is a strong grower, is very prolific,
_and possesses every requisite for a salable tomato; the fruits are
| large, smooth, almost round, being very deep, slightly flattened at
| base and top; the color is an attractive, vivid scarlet. The skin is
{tough and the flesh unusually solid, making it one of the best
‘shippers. The quality is unsurpassed for either cooking, cannin
(or slicing, being meaty and firm. Price, 25c. 0z., 70c. } Ib., $2.25 Ib.

“ The Stone Tomato I had from you last spring surpassed all others in M arblehead
| Farms.”’ EDWIN H. DODGE, Salem, Mass.

HENDERSON'S
HENDEREOIN’ TOMAmTO:

Henderson’s Tomato, Tenderloin, has super-
lative qualities. It is of remarkably sturdy
growth, is practically everbearing, ripening
its first fruits immediately after the early
sorts, and continues throughout the season to.
produce enormous quantities of its most at-
tractive fruit. The fruit is very uniform,
round, slightly flattened at stem and blossom
end, and of phenomenal solidity; even the
seeds—which are surprisingly few—are em_
bedded in flesh of meaty firmness. The color,
a rich glossy blood-crimson, permeates the
flesh to the very heart. It never cracks, and
ripens over the entire surface without any
green around the stem.

Henderson’s Tomato, Tenderloin, on account:
of its ‘ solid-as-beefsteak ”’ character, com-
bined with the splendid quality, gratifying
flavor, granulated texture, rich red color of the
flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso-
lutely peerless for slicing, salads and table use
generally, while it is equally superior for bak-
ing, boiling and domestic canning. The solid-
ity of flesh and minimum of juice makes
thickening unnecessary.

Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 0z., $1.50 + lb., $5.00 Ib.

“I must mention the grand results obtained from your
Tenderloin Tomatoes. They produced an enormous crop
of the finest of all tomatoes. All agree with me that at 1s

the finest tomato grown.”
E. H. LOCKWOOD, Edgewood, R. J.

az TURNIPS «

THE BEST VARIETIES FOR MARKET GARDENERS.

Early White Milan Turnip.

An extra early variety, the bulb forms very rapidly,
making but few and small leaves. It is eminently
adapted for early spring and summer planting, and if
sown at monthly intervals will furnish a continuous
supply of the most tender and delicately flavored tur-
nips; the root is of medium size, very handsome smooth,
and of a clear ivory-white both inside and out. The
flesh is fine-grained, tender and of mild, sweet flavor;
it never becomes pithy and stringy. It will undoubtedly
find a welcome in our markets; as, in addition to the
heavy crop assured by its adaptability for close plant-
ing, it will be found to be fit for use at least a week
earlier than any other white variety in cultivation.
Price, 10c. 0z., 20c. 4 lb., 70c. 1b.

Early Red-Top Strap Leaf Turnip.

A popular variety of quick growth; round-flat, 4
to 5 inches in diameter; flesh white and of excellent
quality. Our stock is well selected for perfectly
shaped roots, good color, and small tops. A very re-
liable sort for early market. Price, 10c. 0z., 15c. 4 Ib.,
35c. lb.

Parisian Half-Long White Turnip.

This new type from France is one of the best table
turnips we know of and most popular in the Parisian
markets. It is a small quick-growing—consequently
early—variety, 4 to 5 inches long by 1% to 14 inches in
diameter; skin and flesh pure white; crisp, exceed-
ingly tender; free from stringiness and delightfully
mild in flavor. The foliage is small, leaf tops short
and of light green color. It is not only a splendid little
garden turnip, but is unrivaled for forcing under glass,
being less liable than any other sort to run to seed when
pushed. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 0z., 30c. 1 lb., 80c. Ib.

PurpLe- | op

HENDERSON'S LONG ISLAND IMPROVED
=—=PURPLE-TOP RUTA BAGA ==

Bred from the ‘‘ American Purple Top,” over which it is a great
improvement, it is twice the size of ordinary American stocks. In
a fair test on several Long Island farms, alongside some of the
best European and American varieties, it produced almost twice
the weight per acre of any other variety. Flesh a rich
yellow, solid and sweet, the quality very superior. It is
perfectly hardy, and a good keeper. (See cut.) 10c. 02z.,
20c. + lb., 50c. Ib.

Improved Ruta Bagas weighing over 12 lbs. each, raised

BONE FERTILIZERS.

Decompose slowly in the soil and therefore less likely than any other fer-
tilizer to waste. With bone there is no danger of burning the plants.

Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and mowing lands, 4 to 1 ton per
acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 1,500
lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, 3 to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in.

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

Price, 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 lb. bag, $4.25; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $40.00.

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

Price per 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 Ib. bag, $4.25; per ton of 2,000 Ibs., $40.00.

Raw Crushed Bone. Invaluable in the preparation of land for the laying
down of new lawns, grass lands, etc., being slow but permanent in action, in-
dispensable in the preparation of grapevine borders—for fruit trees, small fruits,
etc.—where a lasting fertilizer is required.

Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.00; 200 lb. bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $45.00.

HENDERSON’S SPECIAL FERTILIZERS.
BETTER THAN ANIMAL MANURES.

We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical.
fertilizers, compounded for the best growth of various crops. Having made
a careful study for many years of plant fertilization we have had exceptional
opportunities for determining the proper materials for producing the greatest
yield ‘as well as early maturity. Only the choicest, most soluble and easily
assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly taken up by the
plant will not waste in the soil. Our fertilizers contain no weed seeds,
have no disagreeable odor, are fine, dry and easily applied.

It is well understood among intelligent farmers, that commercial fertilizers:
have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum

. crops without their assistance even where good animal manures are used.

We are confident that no better commercial manures can be made than
Henderson’s Special Fertilizers.

No horn, leather, hair, marl or other insoluble materials enter into the com-
position of our fertilizers.

HENDERSON’S CORN FERTILIZER.

A perfectly balanced complete fertilizer containing a large percentage of
phosphoric acid, the most essential element in the production of maximum
corn crops. Nitrogen and potash are also supplied in sufficient quantities to
form a perfect maize plant ration.

duction of large solid heads. The ammonia being in the form of nitrate of soda,
the potash as sulphate, make the highest grade manure it is possible to com-
pound for the best growth of cabbage, cauliflower and other Brassica crops. The
liberal use of this special manure will produce large, compact white and per-
fectly formed cauliflower and big, hard, crisp cabbage.

The highest grade complete potato manure it is possible to compound.
The potash, derived from sulphate potash, produces tubers rich in starch, and
of the finest quality, and does not need the addition of animal manure or
other fertilizing agents to grow maximum crops of clean, well formed,
marketable tubers.

ANT DESTROYER. A non-poisonous powder which,
sprinkled around their haunts, will destroy or drive
away black ants from lawns, trees, plants, houses
or other affected locality. Price, 4 1b. cans, 35c.;
1 Ib. can, 60c.

ARSENATE OF LEAD. A poison rapidly taking the
place of Paris green. Its great advantages are
that it adheres well to the foliage and spraying
does not have to be repeated as it does not readily
wash off by rain. It also remains well suspended in
solution so that an even distribution can be ob-
tained. It is white in color and shows just where
it has been applied. Its principle advantage lies in
the fact that it does not injure tender foliage.
Price, 1 lb., 19c.; 5 Ibs., 85c.; 10 Ibs., $1.60;
20 Ibs., $3.10; 100 Ibs., $16.00; bulk, 15%c. lb.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE. (Standard Formula, 1 gal-
lon makes 50 gallons of spray.) Ready for use by
simply adding water. An indispensable Fungicide
curing and preventing black rot, mildew, blight
rust, scab and all fungoid diseases on fruits and
plants. Price, 1 pint, 22c.; 1 quart, 35c.; 1 gallon,
90c.; 5 allons, $4.00

many Southern market gardeners, who use it ex-
tensively for cabbage and tomato worms, potato
and cucumber bugs, ete. It is applied with a
juster, bellows or powder-gun, at the rate of about
12 Ibs. per acre. Price, 15c. lb.; ep ose: 35c¢?5) 5)lbs:,
50c.; 12% Ibs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $7.00.

BUG DEATH SHAKER for applying above, 65c.

etc., from flies, gnats, mosquitoes, horse-fiy and
other insects, is healing to sores, destroys head

lice on fowls, etc. Price, 1 quart, 40c.; 1 gallon,
$1.20; 5 gallons, $4.50.
COPPER SOLUTION, AMMONIATED. A Fungicide

the same as Bordeaux Mixture, the essential in-
gredient, ‘Carbonate of Copper,”’ being dissolved in
ammonia in this, while in Bordeaux it is counter-
acted by lime. Bordeaux is the cheaper and most
popular for all ordinary purposes, but for late
sprayings, when fruits are nearing maturity, or
plants in bloom, Copper Solution is usually used,
as there is no limy sediment left to be washed off

Henderson’s Hot Bed
and Cold Frame Mats.

To Protect Plants from
Frost in Winter and
Spring.

““BURLAP”’ MATS.

These are made of strong burlap bagging, warmly lined with waste woal
and cotton, which is quilted in to hold position. They are excellent substi-
tutes for straw mats, being if anything warmer than straw, more easily han-
dled, less bulky, and they do not harbor mice or other vermin. We were afraid
that they would hold moisture, and either rot or mildew, but our trial for twe
winters proves them to be far more durable than straw mats

Prices. Size A, 40x76 inches, $1.00 each; $11.00 per dozen.

“WATERPROOF DUCK”’ MATS.

These are filled with cotton and wool waste and quilted the same as the

‘ Burlap’ mats described above. The “ waterproofed duck" cotton cloth on
one side sheds water, and prevents them from getting “soaked through.
Prices. Size C, 40x76 inches, $1.35 each; $15.00 per dozen.

RYE STRAW MATS.

Being made in the best manner of long rye straw and best tarred cord they
are invaluable for throwing over cold frames, hot beds, etc., during the coldest

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

THE
HENDERSON CHILLED PLOW

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

THE “HENDERSON ” CHILLED PLOWS.
DO 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 MOULDBOARDS are 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
is 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 @irect 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.
V oa »,

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 "’ involves new principles and accomplishes 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.

Prices for one-horse..................$4.50; with wheel and draft rod, $5.50.

DOUBLE MOLD PLOW. FOR RIDGING AND

FURROWING.

A one-horse plow used for making drills to plant potatoes, corn, etc.; for
ditching, ridging, plowing out between rows; as it throws the earth both ways,
doing the duty of two single mold plows. It also is good for digging potatoes.

Prices, No. 1}, small size, $4.25; No. 14, medium, $4.75; No. 2, full size, $5.50.

THE “BOSS”

The Plow
ONE-HORSE PLOW.

for

Gardeners
and
Truckers.

The best One-Horse Turn Plow ever sold. It makes a beautiful furrow
turning everything under—weeds, grass, trash and all. We call attention to
the fact that the purchaser actually gets four plows for the price of one, viz.:
One complete plow, No. 24 mouldboard and share, making a large one-horse
plow. A No. 14 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,
$5.50, or with a splendid double mouldboard for furrowing, hilling, etc.. $7.00.

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
4. wings should be reversed.

! The soil then passes over
the plow. The depth ié
regulated by the wheel and
draft hook. Handles ad-
justable in height. By the
changing of one bolt it may
be converted into a first-class potato digger. The fingers are adjustable and
removable. Price, $6.00, or with the Potato Digger Attachment, $8.50.

Note.—With shoe runner in place of wheel, deduct $1.00.

HENDERSON’S POTATO DIGGER.

The king of all low-priced diggers, working perfectly under nearly all condi-
tions of soil, weeds and crab-grass. It not only digs potatoes, but digs them
all. The vibrating fingers separate them from weeds and dirt, leaving them
clean and in plain sight on either side of the row. The two wheels, front and

rear, insures an even depth, light draft and steadi-
ness. It is simple and easily operated; durable—
the wearing parts, including mold and share, being
of steel; it is thoroughly practical; it does away
with the hard drudging labor of potato
digging, and saves three-fourths of th
expense. Price, $15.00.

PLANET, JR., CELERY HILLERS.

Celery Hillers are
now considered indis-
pensable in celery
growing. The leat
lifters are adjustable
in height, and are es-
pecially valuable for
first workings. With
them some large
growers hill their
() celery without any
handling. We make
“- both single and double

hillers, both with lever
expanders and leaf lifters. The Double Celery Hiller is fitted with lever wheel.
The hilling blades are 43 inches long, adjustable in width or height as wanted;
the double machine works all rows up to four feet apart. Before hilling, the
soil should be thoroughly loosened with a horse hoe.

The Single Celery Hiller runs lighter than the double, and throws rather
higher; it works any width rows. Where market gardeners plants close, and
first bleach every other row. it is ‘* just the thing.’’ It is also an excellent help
when burying the crop.

truck gardener. Price, $19.00.

IMPROVED STEEL WING MARKER.

FOR POTATO GROUND AND ROW CROPS.

The long runners make a
very true and even mark,
which cannot be thrown
out by stiff sod or stones, a
difficulty with markers
having short teeth. It can
be adjusted to width and

The an y Adjustable

Progressive farmers who have studied surface cultivation, appreciate its
great value, not only in keeping the weeds down, but the most important of all,
creating an earth mulch, thus preventing evaporation of the soil moisture;
thereby producing much larger crops.

The Keystone Adjustable Weeder is the latest and best weeder on the market,
combining all the good features 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 handle, 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, yet 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, yet loosen and uproot
the weeds, allowing them to slide aside, thereby overcoming the clogging so
objectionable in other weeders. Price, $11.00.

THE MEEKER DISC-SMOOTHING

It is a splendid substitute for a rake 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 64 ft. x 6 ft., with four sets of rollers, having 58 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 smal?
stones below the surface better than any field roller; it levels the ground at the
same time, which a field roller does not do.

Price, $19.00.

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 ot 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 fertiliser 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 24feetin width. Fortopdressing straw-
berry beds, lawns, etc., as well as for rowed crops, itisa boon. Easily worked

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. It is light, weighing only 2}
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 handle is long enough to en-
able the opposite side of the frame to be
reached without bending. 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, therefore is so
simple that it can be used by the most inex-
perienced. To gauge the flow of seed try on a
sheet of paper on the floor and adjust the hole
band to suit. Directions with every sower.
Price $3.50.

FOR HAND POWER.

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 als. 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 after im-
provement has been adopted as suggested during an experience of
25 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 operator. either sow seeds in a continuous drill, thick or thin
shallow or deep, or they may be instantly set to plant any desired
quantity of seeds at any of the following regular distances 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 as a
man can 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.

To illustrate their usefulness, here is a list of some of the seeds, ah
of which these seeders will sow in either hills or drills:

HOEING. CULTIVATING.

FOR HAND POWER.

Wheel Hoes with their attachments for cultivating, hilling, furrowing, covering, etc., are among the
great labor-savers of the age. They not only make the care of all rowed crops a pleasure, but enable a
man to care for five times the area that can be done by ‘‘the man with the (other) hoe.”” They are built
substantially for all-day work by an able-bodied man, yet they are adapted to the strength of a boy or
woman.

THE DOUBLE WHEEL HOES, while they work equally well between two rows of plants, are es-

Ss — Pecially adapted for stradaling one row, working close up to both
sides of the plants, until they are twenty inches high.

THE SINGLE WHEEL HOES, are rather lighter than the double, and while the wheel can be set

: on the side of the frame, enabling both sides of one row to be hoed
at one time, yet they are best adapted for working between two rows of plants.

The New Aspinwall Potato Planter.

_ An automatic machine, requiring only a team of horses with driver to plant five to eight acresa day. It plants either whole or cut potatoes, 10, 13, 15, 17, 21 or
26 inches apart, as desired. It plants in a perfectly straight row, rows any distance apart required. It opens the furrow, 3 to 9 inches deep, as set, drops the

time, placing the fertilizer just below the seed, after sufficient e

The New Aspinwall Potato Planter is the leading
machine of the world. No other machine can begin to
compare with it in points of simplicity, durability, effec-
tiveness of working qualities and economy. The plow
opens a furrow and loosens the soil, while the runner
coverers of steel yield to the inequalities of the ground,
being held to the work by a strong spring. Those desir-
ing disc coverers can have them at the same price. They
are operated and held to the work (as in the case of
Tunner coverers) by a strong spring. Of course where
the land is rough and heavy the disc coverers possess
some advantages. Both the runner and disc coverers
are raised by foot pressure and the plow by hand and
with great ease. In fact a boy can easily operate the
machine. The Planter is thrown out of gear automati-
cally when raising the plow, and again in gear when
lowering it to open the furrow. The feed arrangement
from the hopper is strikingly simple, requiring no chains
or adjustment to operate it, everything being in working
order upon attaching the hopper to frame of machine
and with all the beauty of design and ease of draft
(especially with the runner coverers), make our new
machine the leader for the 20th century. Net Prices

Transplants all kinds of plants at any required distance, and at the same time water is deposi-
ted 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 expert, they can operate fast enough for celery.

For tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, 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
anacre. 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 lame back—no delay in planting on account of dry weather. Plants are set straight, allowing
closer and quicker cultivation. It is easy of draft and a thoroughly good machine in every respect
and will last a lifetime. i

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) $53.00, or with Fertilizer Attachment, $62.00

KEMP’S MANURE SPREADER. a

Spreads Manure Evenly.
Makes Manure go Further.

Every farmer knows that fine manure will produce better
results than coarse manure; it is more valuable when fine,
because in that condition it approaches more nearly the solu-
tion—the actual form of plant food. The Kemp Manure
Spreader pulverizes and makes fine all kinds of manure and
spreads it evenly upon the land in any desired quantity per
acre; it will spread very coarse manure, corn-stalks, chaff,
sawdust orsuch other substances as are intended for mulch-
ing; it will also spread lime, wood ashes, coal ashes, marl,
plaster, salt or any substance intended for use as manure.

It will also distribute manure, lime, ashes, cottonseed,
cotton-seed hulls, and commercial fertilizers in trenches
or drills, better, quicker and more economical than can
possibly be done by hand.

Breaks it up Finely.

Horse Radish and Cocoanut Graters.

Will grate from 10 to 15 pounds an hour of Horse Radish, Cocoanut or similar
substances. They are easily operated by one person. who turns the crank with
one hand and holds the root with the other hand, against the revolving cylinder.
The grated material falls into the drawer, shown in the cut. We furnish the ma-
chines with two kinds of cylinders the cheaper being covered with heavy perfo-
rated tin; the better has a wooden cylinder studded with steel pins. If cocoanut
exclusively is to be grated, you should so state.in ordering, as the cylinder we send
for the latter purpose grates considerably finer. The mounted machine, with
treadle and balance wheel runs faster, easier and steadier, and if the quan-
tity of work justifies it, the latter machine should be chosen.

“THE BEETLE.”

Four-Row3Horse Power Potato Duster.

Dusts 4 rows of potato vines as fast as the horse walks, covering 20
to 40 acres in one day. With one horse it covers a greater area, more
satisfactorily and with less Paris Green than the wet process with two
horses. The reservoir holds about 30 lbs. of lime or 50 lbs. of Green.
An agitator and fan attachment blows the powder through 4 tubes ad-
justable as to width and height. The quantity can be regulated from a
pound to 15 lbs. per acre, which is blown through the vines, thus thor-
oughly distributing the powder which settles underneath the foliage as
well as on top. Any dry insect or blight powders may be applied with
it. The wheels are adjustable for wide and narrow rows.

The “* Beetle "’ Duster works easily, is very simple, no valves or nozzles
to bother with. A boy of 15 can operate it successfully. Price $60.00.

THE SCHANCK SPRAYER.

The Schanck Sprayer, not the cheapest but the best spray cart on the
market for all low crops such as potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, melons.
etc. Itdistributes any liquid solution in a fog-like mist, which settles
over and under every leaf and stem of thecrop, effectually killing
all bugs, worms, lice or other insects, or prevents the spread of rust.
mildew and similar blights, according to the insecticides or fungicide
used in solution. It does the work as rapidly as a horse can walk,

THE BEETLE FOUR ROW HORSE POWER POTATO DUSTER, forty acres in one day. It is exceedingly simple, can be operated by a
boy; has no pump, pipes, blowers or cogs to get out of orderor rust and
: no nozzles to clog up, the liquid does not even need filtering. The
barrel holds enough to cover 24 to 34 acres and is evenly balanced, no side draft nor weight on the horse whether the barrel is full or empty. The spray on either
side may be shut off if necessary to finish a field and it may be thrown in or out of gear at will when turning ends of furrows. The track of the wheels is adjustable
to suit different widths of row. It does not throw any liquid on horse or driver. Every trucker will ;
find this a most valuable implement, often saving his crops and greatly increasing his output and im-
proving the quality. It is no new and untried theory but is extensively used by truckers to the
exclusion of all other horse spray carts where this has been introduced. Price, et, $60 00.

BOX PATTERN HORSE RADISH GRATER.

Will There be Frost To-night?
we THE PAGOSCOPE -x

Will Tell You.

The Pagoscope, a frost predicter, just invented by a
Frenchman for foretelling, early in the evening, whether
there is or is not to be a frost during the night, ought to be
a money-saver for gardeners and fruit-growers. It consists
of a wet and dry bulb thermometer, with water cistern and : . f
vertical movable hand which passes over a chart constructed in the centre of the instrument which shows at a glance if
there is likely to be frost during the night, and enables precaution to be taken to avoid damage, etc. The whole frame-
work is made of cast zinc and therefore will be found most durable.

DIRECTIONS.—Place the instrument in an isolated shaded position facing North, having previously filled the cistern
with water. The best time to take observations is about half an hour after sunset. :

The method of taking the observations is as follows: Read the degree of wet bulb thermometer, then move the index
hand so that the point is set on the corresponding degree at top of the chart, then read the degree shown by dry bulb, look
on the horizontal lines corresponding to that degree and follow same until its junction with the index hand, if this is shown
on green part of chart there is no danger of frost, if on yellow portion there is a possibility of it freezing, and if on red there
is no doubt but that it will freeze during the night. Price $10.00 each.
