Three Generations of Hendersons
HAVE RENDERED 81 YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE TO THE GARDENERS OF AMERICA

More than 80 years ago, Peter Henderson, founded this business.
which subsequently became the model which was followed by all successful seed houses.

At that time he laid down certain rules and principles
Himself a practical gardener, writer

and close student of horticulture, the principles as outlined by him have stood the acid test of time, and have been carried out to

the letter by the two succeeding generations of Hendersons.

The business today is owned, controlled and managed by the third generation, and we have left no stone unturned to see that
Henderson customers should receive the very highest quality of seed which care, painstaking effort, experience and knowledge

can produce.

Over 80 years of experience have made us familiar with all the best methods of production, and if it were possible to

sell quality seeds any cheaper than the prices listed in this catalogue, Peter Henderson & Co. would do so.
We do not sell to dealers, and therefore seeds offered by others, bearing our name, such as Henderson’s Snowball Cauliflower,
Henderson’s Succession, and Henderson’s Charleston Wakefield Cabbages, also Henderson’s Big Boston and Henderson’s New

York Lettuce, Henderson’s Easy Blanching Celery, The
Henderson Cucumber and many other varieties offered by
dealers are not our stocks.

The only way to get our seeds, is to order direct
from us and get our seeds, in our bags, and with our
labels on them.

HENDERSON’S
SNOWBALL WINS SILVER CUP

At the annual convention of the Vegetable Growers’ Association
of America held in Syracuse in 1927, Henderson’s Snowball won
the Cauliflower Championship for the second consecutive time.
Mr. K. De Jong, the grower said: “T have grown Cauliflower for
many years but have never found the equal of Henderson’s Snow-
ball. It is superior to any other.”

HENDERSON’S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER
‘Beyond All Question the Best---Excellent for Forcing---Indispensable for the Spring Crop---Incomparably the Best for Fall
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1878

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS

We have always controlled Henderson’s Snowball Cauliflower, any statement to the

contrary notwithstanding, and unless the seed is bought directly from us you do not
get the genuine, as we do not supply dealers.

HENDERSON’S SUPERB STRAIN
OF EXTRA EARLY

DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER

While the famous Henderson’s Snowball is beyond any question the
finest sort for general use and especially for frame culture, we strongly
recommend our wonderfully fine strain of Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt, which
is one of the very best varieties for field cultivation, especially for late crops.

It heads with great certainty, and under ordinary conditions produces
large, deep and very solid white ‘‘flowers.”’ The plant is large, sturdy and
robust in growth, with short broad leaves which furnish ample protection to
the “flower.” This is of the finest quality, always clear, free from ingrowing
leaves, with even surface and attractive appearance when trimmed. (See
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT CAULIFLOWER engraving.) Price, 0z. $2.50., 14 lb. $9.50., Ib. $36.00.

Bush Bean 1 endergreen

Bears a Profusion of Exquisitely Tender Green Pods—
Absolutely Stringless, Very Prolific

Hybridization and selection of plants have in capable hands
produced many improvements upon nature, and for many years
our own efforts have been directed in part to the elimination
of ‘‘string’’ in bush beans. We offered to our friends the
“Henderson Stringless Bush Bean”’ in 1920, and it won instant
favor. In 1922 we first offered Tendergreen and it also was
received with great appreciation. Tendergreen is entirely
different in origin from its predecessor, but is just as free from
“string’’ and is an inviting tender green in color, hence the name.

Tendergreen is a product of our own trial grounds, grown,
hybridized and selected under the eyes of our own experts.
Our aim is to offer these new productions to our customers
as quickly as possible. We have accumulated stock enough
to offer it this year in quarts, pecks and bushels, but orders
must be sent in early, as they will be filled in the order they
arrive. We advise early orders, as the stock is very limited.

Henderson’s Early Black Valentine

GREEN-PODDED DWARF BUSH BEAN

A GREAT FAVORITE BECAUSE OF ITS BLIGHT-RESISTING QUALITIES
Very Hardy, Ready for Picking in 45 Days from Planting

Henderson’s Early Black Valentine is one of the most productive green-podded
sorts, and in certain respects it excels all other varieties, for there is none other that
bears so heavy a crop, and none that produces pods that will present such a saleable
appearance after travelling a long distance to the market.

Henderson’s Early Black Valentine should be picked as soon as the pods have
attained a marketable size to avoid the formation of string. The bushes are very
strong and vigorous and the pods are handsome, very dark green in color, nearly
round; one third longer and much straighter than Red Valentine. A large crop may
always be expected; and as it is a decidedly long distance shipper and also resists
blight, it is a great favorite with market gardeners. (See engraving). Price, qt.
75c., peck $5.50, bush. $20.00.

King of the Earlies
A heavy cropper and excellent shipper

A very desirable handsome appearing variety with long regular round pods of
light delicate green. Its chief value, however, lies in its dependable earliness and
in the large profitable crops which it produces. Asa standard or catch crop it isfa
sure money maker. Price, qt. 76c., pk. $5.50, bush. $20.00.

Henderson’s Earliest Red Valentine
America’s Standard Green-podded Dwarf Snap Bean

This is one of the oldest American varieties. It has always been one of the
most popular sorts among market growers, but even more so of late years, because
of the greatly improved stocks, which have been maintained by constant, careful

Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine is relied on by the most successful

market gardeners for an early crop. It is grown with the greatest ease, and com-
mands a ready sale in all markets. There is no variety that holds its color better,

Henderson’s Extra Early Refugee

GREEN-PODDED BUSH BEAN

This variety is a decided improvement on the old Refugee or
1,000 to 1, as it is fully two weeks earlier. It has all the good
qualities of the old Refugee, being wonderfully productive. The
pods are of good form, very fleshy, free from string and very tender.
Almost certain to produce a crop even in unfavorable seasons.
Should be inevery garden. (See engraving). Price, qt. 70c., pk.
$4.50, bush. $16.00.

Refugee or 1000 to 1 Bean

The Best Dwarf Late, Green-podded Snap Bean

A very popular market gardener’s variety on account of its
exceeding productiveness. It is extensively grown for a fall crop
in both the north and south. The plants are strong, healthy, and
robust, about 15 inches high, branching and bushy in growth.
This bean is very popular in the markets of large cities and is
extensively used for pickling. Our strain is very fine, and will be
found free from flat pods. Price, qt. 75c., pk. $4.75, bush. $18.00.

Unrivaled Wax Bush

The Earliest Wax Podded Variety Grown
The plant is strong, dwarf, not too strongly branching, with
large, almost smooth, lustrous green leaves. It bears-an-enormous
crop of pods of a most beautiful semi-transparent pale yellow color.
The pods are about six inches long and almost straight, but with
the valuable characteristic of curving slightly at the ends towards
maturity, thus avoiding contact with the ground, and preventing

liability to rust and rot. It is above all else the earliest Wax Bean within our knowledge. We have found it two days earlier than
any other in our trials, which alone renders it extremely valuable. Price, qt. 80c., pk. $5.50, bush. $20.00.

The Hodson Long Pod Wax Bush

Enormous Pods—Enormous Yielder

This distinctive type of bean is remarkable for wonderful productiveness, out-
yielding any other bush bean two to one on a given area. The sturdy plants often
attain 214 feet in height, and bear great quantities of long, meaty pods, measuring
7 to 8 inches in length.

This variety is particularly free from bean diseases, and comes in about 2 weeks
after the earliest dwarf varieties. The plants should be thinned out to at least 6 in-
ches apart in the rows on account of their great size. Crop failure.

The New Vegetable Par Excellence—
Succulent and Tender. Combining the

This new delicious vegetable first came into
prominence as a result of the great demand for
it by the guests of the fashionable hotels at
Europe’s greatest playground, the ‘‘Riviera’”’
on the shores of the Mediterranean sea, hence
its name.

To supply the greatly increased demand in
this country, we imported the finest Italian
strains and have developed therefrom Hen-
derson’s Riviera, which is unquestionably the
best for our climate. An important place is
destined for this succulent vegetable in the
diet of the American people, not only for
its tender, delicious, and savory flavor, but
also for its healthful qualities, and ease of
culture.

4 HENDERSON’S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS
BEET Henderson’s
Selected
Money Making Strains for Market Gardeners

HENDERSON’S SPECIAL CROSBY’S
EGYPTIAN

This is one of the earliest beets on the market, and it is undoubtedly
the most desirable small beet for early market purposes, because it
attains a presentable shape in a shorter space of time than any other
variety.

The color is an intense, deep red, almost black; and the flesh is sweet
and tender. The root is smooth, round, and slightly flattened and the
tops are smallin size. ‘‘Crosby’s Special’ is a very rapid grower, and
can be sown as late as July with a good return.

The strain we offer is very fine and uniform in shape and color.
(See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c., 14 lb. 50c., lb. $1.50, 10 Ib. lots @
$1.45., 25 lb. lots at $1.40.

HENDERSON’S CRIMSON GLOBE

This variety has met with great favor and is remarkably popular among
gardeners in all sections of the country. It needs no recommendation to those
who have grown it. It is of medium size, generally about 3 inches in diameter,
very handsome in shape, a little deeper than round, with a smooth, even surface.
The leaves are rich crimson in color, borne on slender stems, which grow quite
compactly, and are thus easily removed. The flesh is deep crimson, ringed and zoned
in varying shades. It is exquisitely tender, and delicious in favor. Though it grows
quickly enough for very early use, it
will remain tender for a very long
period. A grand second early and
main crop variety.

Price, oz. 15c.; 14 Ib. 40c.; lb. $1.25;
10 lb. lots @ $1.20; 25 1b. lots @ $1.15.

Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet has gained
and maintained a reputation as a main crop variely

of the finest quality and handsome appearance.
It is a splendid keeper.

WM. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y.

EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN

An exceedingly early variety and considered by
many to be the best of the early garden beets. The root is rounded and flattened espe-
cially underneath; grows almost entirely out of the ground, to whichit is held by a
slender tap-root. The skin is very smooth; violet-red in color; flesh of a dark blood
color, leaves brownish-red, more or less mixed with green. Price, oz. 15c., 14 lb. 40c.,
Ib. $1.15, 10 1b. lots @,1.10., 25 Ib. lots @1.00.

EARLY WONDER

It keeps well, and is especially suitable for fall "sowing [because it matures two weeks
earlier than any other marketable beet. One of its best points is that entire fields
of it are harvested at one operation because all the roots mature at the same time.
The demand for Early Wonder is heavy and we advise early orders. (See engraving).
Price, 0z. 20c., 14 Ib. 50c., lb. $1.50, 10 lb. lots @ $1.45, 25 Ib. lots @ $1.40.

HENDERSON’S DETROIT DARK RED SPECIAL STOCK

We recommend this strain to our customers because it is an exceptionally fine selection
of the well known market variety Detroit Dark Red. It is very valuable to the market
gardener on account of the uniformity in shape of its very smooth roots, and its con-
sistently dark red color; there being no light colored roots in this stock, often found in
some selections of Detroit Dark Red. As a market sort it is unsurpassable. Price,
oz. 20c., 14 Ib. 50c., 1 1b. $1.50, 10 Ib. lots $1.45, 25 1b. $1.40.

ECLIPSE

One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young it may be bunched,
but it is also used as a basket beet, and is known and sells freely on every market.
It is medium in size, the tops small for size of root, the outer color is dark and the flesh
strongly ringed in two shades of red. Price, oz. 15c., 14 lb. 35c., lb. $1.00, 10 lb. lots,
@ 95c., 25 1b. lots @ 90c.

6 HENDERSON’S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF

Danish Ballhead or Holland

SHORT STEM

When this type of Cabbage first appeared we foresaw its popularity,
and took pains to secure samples of the various types. After exhaustive
trials we decided to grow from one strain only, and the success that has
come to all who have grown it, proves the wisdom of our selection. The
plant is strong, erect, stands well, and heads up evenly. The trimmed
head is almost round, and has more weight for its size than any other sort.
(See engraving.) Price, oz. 40c., 14 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00.

“T harvested twenty-six tons per acre of Henderson's Danish Ball Head Cabbage from seed
purchased of you. Two years ago I did not have quite enough plants from your seeds, and I

purchased some plants of others with the result that I had a lot of cabbage, not Danish, that
would not keep. I have used your seeds for twelve years and would not change.””

MIDSEASON AND LATE
HENDERSON’S

Succession

A Money Makerforthe Trucker. The
Most Dependable Cabbage Grown.

Beyond doubt Henderson’s Suc-

cession is the best Cabbage of its
class; it is not too much to say that
it is the best all around variety in
existence. Given ordinary condi-
tions, it may be absolutely relied on
to produce larger, better, and more
salable heads than any other sort.
The heads are enormous in size, ©
extremely solid, remarkably uniform
in shape, and none sells better. It
grows well either in spring, summer
or fall, and its table quality is un-
surpassed. We introduced this va-
riety in 1888, and its appearance
attracted instant attention.
This peerless variety is so well known
and so much sought after, that many
firms are offering a “SUCCESSION”
CABBAGE. We have tested many
of these and find some entirely untrue
and others of inferior strain. Be sure
to get our highly bred and selected,
genuine type, which is procurable
only da from us.—PETER HENDERSON & CO.

Our improved highly bred strain of this old favorite
Cabbage will be found very superior. It produces very
large, round, flattened heads, very uniform, is firm and

and is esteemed one of the best late fall and winter Cab-

Henderson’s Chantenay

This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long ‘‘stump’’
or blunt-rooted type, but differs from all others of this class
by its greater girth, bulk and consequent yield. It aver-
ages 6 inches in length, is broad at the neck, narrowing
gradually to the round, blunt base, therefore is easily
harvested. The flesh, almost free from core, is of rich
orange-red and of the finest table quality; fine-grained,
tender, juicy and delicately flavored. Chantenay Carrot
is an excellent variety for use either for early or main crop.
In the latitude of New York sow as early as possible for
early carrots, certainly not later than the end of April,
so that the roots will mature before July.
For a main crop sow Chantenay from June Ist

a superior medium early celery, that up to this period has not been excelled, and in Henderson’s selected Golden Plume, we have the
pleasure of offering to our friends the grandest, early golden celery that America has ever known.

Among the reports received by us from growers to whom we sent samples of this new variety for trial one says: “‘it is a glorified and

pertechee celery of the Golden Self Blanching type, but far superior to that old variety.”
. J., said, ‘I grew Henderson’s Golden Plume Celery alongside of samples received from five other sources.
The others averaged 11 crates to the row and netted $39.00.”

13% crates on a row 300 feet long and netted a return of $46.70.

Popular Market Garden Varieties of
Henderson’s World Famous Sweet Corn

Command the Highest Prices on all Markets

HENDERSON’S COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

This is always in great demand for hotel or fancy local trade,
where its superb quality commands top prices. It is of nectar-
like sweetness, luscious, tender and milky, and remains “‘in the
milk” longer than other Sweet Corn. The ears measure 8 to
9 inches in length, and the plant is very prolific, often producing
three ears to a stalk. It is a slow-maturing variety and arrives
at full perfection just in time to succeed the earlier varieties.
Our stock is just as good as when we first introduced it. Price,
qt.'55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.

EARLY CHAMPION

This standard sort has stood the test of many years of culti-
vation. It is grown extensively both by private and market
gardeners as it comes into bearing immediately after the early
sorts. Itis a sure cropper, ears are medium to large in size, pure
white. Price, qt. 55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.

GOLDEN BANTAM

While the individual plant and ear are small, it may be planted
so much closer than the larger-eared sorts, so that the net product
from a given area is about the same as of ordinary sorts. The
plant is about 5 feet high, medium early, but of exceptionally
good quality. In all respects it is a gem—in size of plant, ear
and grain. Price, qt. 55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN
Grown almost exclusively for the last marketing. It is one of
the best known sorts, and is valued not only for its sureness in
crop production, but for its great popularity on the market and

remarkably good quality. Our strain is excellent in every _

respect. Price, qt. 55c., pk. $2.50, bush. $9.00.

WHIPPLES EARLY YELLOW

This variety is fully as early as Golden
Bantam, but the ears are much larger,
being asa rule twelve rowed, and very
compact. It is well suited for market
growers who want a yellow variety
with larger ears than the Golden
Bantam. Price, qt. 60c., pk. $3.00,
bush. $10.00.

HENDERSON’S METROPOLITAN

A Great Favorite on the Market. Ready Right After the Extra
Early Sorts

Metropolitan is just about a week later than the very early
sorts, and is equal in quality to the main crop varieties. It
grows about 5) ft. high. The ears are 9 inches long, 10 to 12
rowed, well filled to the tip with large grains of excellent quality.
It is a sturdy plant and grows easily. The ears have a liberal
husk, which insures a fresh condition on reaching the market.
Price, qt., 55c., pk., $2.50, bush. $9.00.

GOLDEN SUNSHINE

This variety is a few days earlier than Golden Bantam, and
therefore a valuable sort for early marketing. The ears are from
seven to eight inches in length, and are ten or twelve rowed, well
filled to the tip, and very prolific; many stalks bearing two good
ears. Price, qt. 70c., pk. $4.00, bush. $15.00.

HENDERSON’S GOLDEN COUNTRY
GENTLEMAN

We have only offered this variety at retail up to the present
time, owing tothesmall supply ofseedavailable. This year will we
have enoughseed to enable us to offer Golden Country Gentleman
to our Market Garden trade. Judging from our experience
with it and reports from our critical private trade we are confident
this variety will be a winner for the Market trade as well.

Golden Country Gentleman is a cross between the white
Country Gentleman and a sweet yellow variety, therefore the
quality is a great improvement on the white variety; noted as
that is for its nectar-like sweetness. It is quite a prolific variety,
most stalks producing two good ears. Price, qt. 80c., pk. $5.00,
bush. $18.00.

PERFECT IN SHAPE—THE LEADING VARIETY FOR THE TRUCKER

For many years this has proven to be the most reliable of all
the White Spine types. It is extremely early, and produces
an enormous crop of uniformly large and symmetrical fruits.
It runs very close to type, bearing practically no misshapen
fruits or culls. As one of our customers whose testimonial we
print below aptly expresses it ‘‘There is not a basket of culls ina
carload of Henderson’s White Spine.’ It is the ideal for slic-
ing, the flesh being compact, fine-grained, sparkling white and
of most refreshing and delightful flavor. No variety excels
it in vigor of vine; it not only sets, but matures, a heavier crop
of perfectly shaped fruits than any other variety. None equals
it in color, and none holds the color better. It is grown and
shipped in greater quantities than any sort on the market, and
always sells at top prices. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c.,

and the seed has been sold by us continu-
ously ever since.

During the past few years growers have
been shipping to the principal markets of the
country vast quantities of New York Lettuce
under the name of Iceberg. All of this has
been grown from seed of Henderson’s New
York which is the true name of the variety.

Henderson’s
New York Lettuce

Immense Heads as Solid as a Cabbage. Blanches
Beautifully. Crisp, Tender and Free from Bitterness.

The King of Main Crop Head Lettuces. It produces immense
heads, often 15 and 16 inches across, and weighing enormously.
The interior is beautifully blanched, creamy-white, crisp, tender
and delicious, being absolutely free from any trace of»bitterness.
It is a very large, robust growing variety, rooting deeply, resisting
hot, dry weather, very slow to run to seed and a sure header under
most trying conditions. The outer color is of a distinct apple
green. We introduced this variety a number of years ago, and
it has been extensively grown by our customers in almost all
sections of the country and from whom we receive most gratifying
reports. Asa standard main summer crop, hot weather Lettuce,
it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not recom-

Very many of the most successful greenhouse gardeners use it for
an indoor crop, where, slowly and gently forced in a moderate
temperature, it makes perfect heads For spring and early summer
crops in the open ground, it always brings a good crop, and in the
fall it is used to the practical exclusion of all other sorts, mainly,
because it is unharmed by the early light frosts of autumn.

In the vicinity of the large eastern cities, hundreds of acres of
this variety may be seen quite late in November growing freely
and vigorously ‘under a covering of salt marsh hay. From this
protection the plants emerge fresh and bright. —

It is probably the heaviest Lettuce of its size. The heart leaves
are numerous, closely packed round a short stem, and of tender and

substance, perfectly protect the heart when. shipping. Thousands
of acres of it are grown

Trianon is by far the best of the Cos, or Romaine, varieties.
These are becoming very popular; they have a distinct and pleas-
ing flavor. The long spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped
heads, and are easily ‘blanched by gathering the outer leaves at
the top and loosely tying them with soft string, several days before
wanted forthe table. Romaine Lettuce may be used to advantage
where the heading varieties do not succeed, as almost the entire
plant is tender and palatable.

Price, oz. 25c., 14 Ib. 70c., Ib. $2.25.

“The Trianon and New York Lettuce were good, I had the finest lettuce I ever saw

anywhere and everybody that saw them said the same."
JOHN OSBORNE, Far Hills, N. J.

“T had fine luck with your Trianon Cos Letiuce in spite of the bad weather; many
weigh 2 lbs. solid white." J. DAVID, Winsted, Conn.

HENDERSON’S “SPECIAL STRAIN”
OF ROCKY FORD MUSKMELON

The Earliest Strain of Rocky Ford. Com-
mands the Highest Prices in Every Market.

The Vines are Vigorous and Rust-Resisting

Henderson’s ‘Special Strain’’ is a recent improvement on
the original Rocky Ford Musk Melon which was a type selected

by Colorado growers from Netted Gem.

Henderson's ‘‘Special Strain’’ besides
being very early, has a beautiful appear-
ance, and the bright green flesh, witha
faint tinge of salmon near the small seed
cavity,is possessed of a delicious aromatic
flavor which commends it to everybody.
The melons are very firm and solid and
are protected by very closely interwoven
silver netting, which gives them a very
attractive appearance and makes them
exceedingly popular for shipping pur-
poses. Henderson’s ‘Special Strain”
Rocky Ford Musk Melons are more
rounded in shape and the ribs are less
prominent than in the older variety;
also the danger of cracking is elimi-
nated by the small button protecting
the blossom end of the melons.

The vines of this strain are vigorous
and thrifty, resist rust and diseases, and
even under unfavorable conditions have
been observed to remain green and pro-
duce blossoms and fruits for a long time,

Henderson’s Special Stock of
GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE

The Most Dependable Lettuce for Forcing. The
Easiest of All to Grow.

Henderson’s Grand Rapids is a well known variety, and
the best of the cluster-leaved lettuces. Our special stock of
seed is very superior, producing plants of beautiful appearance
having bright green leaves crimped at the edges; crisp and
tender and free from the tendency to rot observed in some
varieties. Henderson’s Grand Rapids matures quickly, is.
of large size, and undoubtedly the best lettuce for forcing
purposes and growing under glass, as the very extensive use
of it by market growers amply proves. (See engraving.)

Price oz. 20c., 14 lb. 60c., lb. $2.00.

Detected) SALAMANDER LETTUCE

A Splendid Summer Variety

Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head well
during hot weather. It will grow equally well as an earlier
crop, but is excelled by others forfall use. It forms a good
sized, compact head, creamy-white in color, and has all the
rich flavor of the ‘‘butter’’ Lettuce.

Price, oz. 20c.; 14 lb. 60c.; lb. $2.00.

WATER MELON TOM WATSON

Good Quality - Good Shape - Good Size - Good Shipper

The ‘‘Tom Watson” is an extra long Melon of attractive
appearance, uniform in shape and quality; the luscious crimson
flesh is ‘‘as sweet as honey,”’ melting and of superb flavor. The
skin is dark green, with thick netting all over, quite distinct
from other varieties. Its appearance and quality strongly
recommend it both for home use and for market.

Price, oz. 15c., 14 lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.

MUSKMELON HALE’S BEST

Hale’s Best has within the last year or two, become quite
popular as a market sort, due no doubt to the fact that its ap-
pearance is very attractive, and its quality superlatively good.
The flesh is deep orange in color, it is oval in shape, heavily
netted, fairly well ribbed, and ships well.

The fact that it is very early, being six to eight days earlier
than Rocky Ford is also a great recommendation.

Price, 0z. 25c., 14 lb. 80c., lb. $2.50.

Henderson’s Genuine Southport

2 Globe Onions

PERFECT GLOBE-SHAPED LARGE HEAVY AND SOLID. ENORMOUS YIELDERS.

The most severe test of an Onion is that which affects its
keeping quality. In this respect Henderson’s Genuine
Southport Globe Onions are supreme. Years of selection,
in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had to pass the
critical eye of veteran experts have had no uncertain effect on
these, and they are today, beyond doubt, the best of all
Onions. The difference in the respective sorts is mainly one
of color. They have the same shape, which is almost globe-
shaped, and so thoroughly have the tops been bred that, when
dried off, they disappear entirely, leaving a perfect symmetri-
cal bulb, shapely, proportionate, and quite devoid of neck,
the presence of which not only mars the appearance, but
is a serious menace to the keeping quality. (See engraving.)

Henderson’s Superior

Yellow Globe Danvers Onion

There are many types of this Onion on the market which
vary greatly in shape. We have for many years kept to the
old type, which, but for a slight depression from neck to root,
is almost a perfect sphere. The skin is a rich shining brown-
ish yellow. Its keeping qualities are excellent. It is free
from neck, very solid, and a fine keeper. (See engraving.)

Wethersfield Onion

A leading variety in all sections. Produces enormous crops

Henderson’s Selected Peas

For Market Gardeners

Henderson’s Famous Early Pea

PROSPERITY OR GRADUS

The Largest Highly Flavored Early Pea Grown in the United States

The problem of good early Peas was finally and completely solved many years ago
when we introduced Prosperity. Some of our customers pick them as early as June.
3d. Others have gathered Peas on May 26th, 55 days from the time of sowing.

Prosperity should be planted a little thicker than other large-podded sorts, as
the vine is single stemmed and consequently occupies less room than the heavier
growing, branching varieties. This is one of its valuable features, for a large crop is
produced in a comparatively small space. The vines are three feet high, light green
in color; the pods are borne singly and freely from top to bottom of the vine and
contain from six to nine Peas as large and as rich in flavor as the Telephone and weeks

still doing so.

JUNO

The foliage is very dark green, a sure indication of vigor.
plant is 21% feet high, heavily branched; so robust that it needs but
little support, and so resistant to heat that it stands our summers

are medium in size, but remarkably well filled with large peas of
perfect flavor. Price, qt. 55c., peck $2.75, bush. $10.00.

LAXTONIAN

The Most Productive of All Dwarf Early Peas. The Largest Pods

This valuable variety represents the highest advance in dwarf
early Pea breeding. The dark, green vines grow only 16 to 18
inches in height, are hardy, vigorous and healthy, require no
supporting trellis, and bear in abundance giant dark green pods,
averaging 414 inches in length with 8 to 10 large wrinkled blue-
green Peas double the size of any other early dwarf variety and
having the true rich marrow flavor, of the best of the tall main
crop English Marrowfat Peas. Ready for market in from 40 to
45 days or a few days earlier than Prosperity. The deep green
color of the pods and Peas is maintained for several days rendering
it exceptionally desirable for market gardener’s trade.

Price, qt. 75, peck, $3.75, bush. $14.00.

THOMAS LAXTON

An excellent, early wrinkled marrow variety. Height, 3 feet.
Pods are medium to large. Produces strong vines, which bear
heavy crops.

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

While it lacks the ‘‘marrow’”’ flavor of the larger and later sorts, it has a sweetness
peculiar to its class, and a flavor which is preferred by many.

Price, qt. 55c., peck $2.75, bush. $10.00.

HORSFORD’S MARKET GARDEN

A Good Second or Medium Early Variety

A grand wrinkled variety, coming in between Little Gem and
Advancer. The vines are two feet high, very regular in growth.
It is a prolific bearer, and has yielded more per acre than any other
American variety. The pods, although of medium size, are
numerous, and are literally packed with peas of a delicious sweet
flavor. Price, qt. 55, peck $2.75, bush. $10.00.

NOTT’S EXCELSIOR

Early, Big Cropper, Extra Fine Quality

A distinctly American production of remarkably vigorous
constitution, enormously productive, and generally excellent.
The pods are of good size, produced liberally, and are well filled
with excellent Peas of perfect quality. The plant is among the
smallest, very rarely exceeding 15 inches in height, and is easily
grown, It still is, and long will be, extremely popular. Many
people who have only small gardens use this sort exclusively,
making repeatedsowings. Price, qt. 55c., peck $2.75, bush. $10.00.

TELEPHONE PEA

The Standard Large Podded Late Pea. Delicious Quality.
Enormous Pods

One of the oldest varieties grown. - It has been on the market
for nearly forty years and is better today than ever before. The
plant is about 5 feet high, and bears a heavy crop of enormous
pods well filled with large Peas of delicious quality. The vines,
while tall, are not heavy and require but little support.

green foliage.

The fruits average about five inches long by three inches in diameter

SPINACH -

Henderson’s LONG SEASON

Spinach sown in the late spring and summer
has a habit of going to seed just when it should be
ready for market. Henderson’s Long Season grows
more slowly than others, but after attaining its
growth. will stay in that condition for a much
longer time than any other variety. The quality
makes it ideal for a summer crop, a season in
which most varieties suffer severely; but it is also
extremely hardy. Sown in September and carried
through thes winter with -slight protection, it will
give a good crop early in oie The plant is
small, with lustrous green leaves, which are short,
broad, very thick, and of great substance. The leaf
stems are very short, which so greatly reduces the
size of the plant that it forms a compact, dense rosette,

BLOOMSDALE SAVOY-LEAVED SPINACH

A very popular variety to sow for the late fall cutting. It is quick
growing 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. (See engraving.) Price, oz.

extremely slow to go to seed.

It is very dwarf, and makes a wonderfully quick growth, setting an
abundance of dark green tender leaves, distinctively crumpled. It is

COOPER’S SPECIAL

Cooper’s Special is a very finely bred second early
tomato, similar to Livingston’s Globe, but not nearly so
rank in vine.

The fruits—which are quite large—are very bright rose
in color, with a slight tinge of purple; and they ripen very
evenly. The meat is very firm and solid, and the seed
cavities will be found quite small without the usual green
core. Cooper’s Special will be a favorite with all market
growers because the vines continue to produce fruits of a
marketable size all through the growing season.

Cooper’s Special is also an extra good shipper and is
grown very extensively by southern truckers for the
northern markets. The stock we offer is especially good,
having been carefully selected, for a number of years.

BEANS.

DWARF or BUSH, GREEN PODDED.
Bountiful, Henderson’s. The best flat, green podded stringless bean in existence. This
superior variety, introduced by us, is Papales wherever grown. The plant is re-
markably handsome and of thrifty growth, being practically rust and mildew proof.

It is very hardy, extremely early, very prolific, and is the first to give pods fit to
pick in the spring and the last to yield edible pods inthe fall...................--

Black Valentine, Henderson’s. Since we introduced this Bean it has been used very
extensively by the largest planters. In the South it is grown in enormous quanti-
ties for shipment to the Northern markets, and it has become equally popular for
growing onsmaller areas. In some respectsit excels all other varieties; there is none
that bears so heavy a crop, and none which presents a more salable appearance
after long shipping. Ready for picking in 45 days from planting. (See specialties page 2)

Earliest Red Valentine, Henderson’s. This is one of the oldest American varieties. It
has always been one of the most popular sorts among market growers, but even more
so of late years, because of the greatly improved stocks, which have been maintained
by constant, careful selection. It is earlier, the pods are longer, thicker, of greater
substance, and the plants bear more continuously thanever. (See specialties page 3)

French’s Horticultural. More vigorous than Dwarf Horticultural and 5 to 6 days
later; plants are of the semi-runner type but is classified as a dwarf variety. Very
hardy, large flat pods 6 to 7 inches in length, green when young, but develop a splash-
ing of brilliant carmine as they mature. Valuable as a shell bean, averaging 6 to 7
beanstothe pod. A favorite with the Italian Market Gardeners..................-

HENDERSON’S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS 21

Complete List of

VEGETABLE SEEDS.

BEANS.—continued.

Refugee, or 1,000 to1. A very popular market gardener’s variety on account of its
exceeding productiveness. It is extensively grown for a fall crop both in the north
and south. The plants are strong, healthy and robust, about 15 inches high,
branching and bushy in growth. Our strain is very fine, and will be found free from
flat pods. (See specialties page 3)....--+-+ +2-+- (sedcnenee=se specacSoss Sdoncor is

Refugee, Extra Early. This is a true Refugee, having the peculiar, spreading habit
of its class, producing a mass of small leaves which protect the pods trom the sun,
preserving their attractive color under trying conditions. It is two weeks earlier
than the old Refugee, and is largely grown as an early spring crop, and again in
late fall, at which season it does remarkably wel]. (See specialties page 3)...+.+-++-

Stringless Green Pod, Burpee’s. Very early, productive, and a good shipper........

DWARF WAX-PODDED or “BUTTER” BEANS.

Black Wax, Henderson’s Improved or Pencil Pod. One of the best early round podded
wax varieties, an enormous cropper, of good quality and an excellent shipper. (See
COCOA TITS CARE Aas AS SCRE OR COCO CSD an COOP enous

Davis’ Kidney Wax. An excellent shipping variety

Hodson Long Pod Wax. Hodson Wax is in many ways quite distinct from all other
bush beans. Its great size enables it to carry a much larger crop of pods than any
other; it is not unusual for it to produce twice as much as any other variety. The

lants should stand six inches apart in the row, and on very favorable soils they yield
better ata still greater distance. The crop should be picked as soon as the pods have
attained their size, as when old they are apt to develop too much string. Phe heavy
foliage keeps the pods well sheltered from the sun, so that their very light cream color
is well preserved. It is not early, the crop usually being ready about 12 days after
the early sorts. In seasons when all varieties have been attacked by rust more
or less severely, Hodson Wax has again and again proved itself practically free
not only from rust, but from all other diseases. ...............--0-- ee eeeee

Golden Age Wax. Besides being absolutely stringless Golden Age is remarkable for its
rust-resisting qualities. The plants are vigorous in growth and bear heavy crops of
eet transparent tender golden waxy pods. Ready to pick in 45 days from

Sure Crop Stringless Wax. This variety is well adapted for market garden purposes
because of its vigorous growth, productiveness and hardiness. Pods are rich yellow,

6 to 7 inches long, entirely stringless at all stages of development....................
Unrivaled Wax. A comparatively new variety, very early. (See specialties page 3)..
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. A handsome large podded sort for main crop....... Sereiater

BEANS, BUSH LIMA.

Early Giant, Henderson’s. It is the earliest of the large bush sorts, and may there-
fore be had on the table weeks ahead of the old pole varieties. The strong, rugged
plant produces so freely and continuously that a small planting will ensure an
abundant supply of the most delicious beans right up to frost...................

Improved ‘‘Henderson” Bush Lima. About five days later than the ‘“‘Henderson,”
but the beans and pods are larger; it is not so prolific but equally good in other re-

“Henderson” Bush Lima. A true bush variety, requiring no support; enormously
productive and extremely early, coming in two weeks ahead of any other Bush or
Climbing Lima and bearing continuously until frost, succeeding even in Northern
Saag the beans have the true Lima flavor. The surest, and most prolific cropper

Fordhook Bush Lima. Of true bush habit, growing stiffy erect. The pods, borne in
clusters, are 4 to 5 inches in length and contain three to five splendid plump beans.
It is also early and a heavy cropper. (See engraving)................0.. ie nia

Dreer’s Bush Lima. A most satisfactory variety for general 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 the 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 enormous quantities and the
plants bear clear up till frost. Few crops are more profitable.....................

Potato Bush Lima. Similar to the preceding............. ccc cece cccccccccccees

BEANS, POLE LIMA.

Early Leviathan Lima, Henderson’s. Leviathan is fully a week earlier than any other
pele variety, therefore can be grown successfully where other sorts would be caught

y early frosts. The plant is strong and takes to the poles more readily than any
other sort. It is a prodigious cropper, producing its pods in large clusters from base
to top of pole, frequently from 5 to 10 together. These are well filled with large fleshy
beans of excellent quality, pale green in color, and possessing that rich, buttery
flavor so highly esteemed’by all. (See engraving).... 2... ccc cc cece cece cece cece

Ideal, Henderson’s. This is another sterling variety of our own introduction. The
pods are amazingly large, and borne in great clusters. The vine does not differ
materially from that of the ordinary pole varieties. Its chief distinction lies in the
size of the pods, and the fact that the average yield is greater than in any other va-
riety. Though a little later than our Early Leviathan, it is just as early as the ordi-
nary pole varieties, and continues to produce enormous crops of the best-flavored
beans, right up to frost.................- SH CHOODOAU CNG COS CC On een ae

to the trucker the advantage of marketing his produce so much earlier than those who
do not grow it. It is also exceedingly productive. The vines are vigorous and dwarf,
about 2% feet in height. Another important feature: the entire crop can be gathered
at one picking, and every trucker will realize at once the economy in labor in growing
such a pea. Moreover, the stock which we are sending out to-day is superior, con-

*Prosperity, Henderson’s (Called also Gradus}. 3 feet in height. This grand, wrinkled
Marrow Pea—introduced into America by us in 1897—has, each year, increased in
opular favor and is now indispensable for an early crop. It is quite distinct; no other
arge-podded sort ripens so early; and at any season, early or late, its quality and
appearance insure ready sales. Our stock is a little larger-podded than those ordinarily
sold, of great vigor, and free from small pods. (See specialties page 16)..........- ARO | S35
*Thomas Laxton. An extra early, wrinkled Marrow Pea of great merit. It grows about
3 feet high, resembling Prosperity. It is of vigorous, hardy constitution, enabling
it to be planted with first earliest, coming in a few days later than the round, hard-

HENDERSON’S GIANT COMET
Also known as Astermum, Crego and Ostrich Plume Asters

They are a highly developed American type of the German Comet, or
Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters and are far superior to imported strains.
The flowers are of immense size, 4 to 5 and often 6 inches across, composed of
long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully formed into loose, yet densely double
half globes, equaling some of the finer Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums.

HENDERSON’S INVINCIBLE
Immense Flowers---Long Stems---Ideal Forms and Colors—

Henderson’s Invincible are a superior race in every way. The plants are of
healthy, robust, branching growth, about 2 feet high—and under best culture
often 3 feet—producing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers
of perfect form and graceful outline, exceedingly double to the very center.
The flowers are the most beautifully formed of all large Asters. When well
grown the flowers of Henderson's Invincible Asters average 3%4 inches across;
inch flowers are quite common, if grown especially for cut flowers and the
side branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 or 10 flowers, one
flower to a stem. e have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from
patrons who have been fortunate enough to capture prizes with them at local
exhibitions, flower shows, etc. Per 1,000

ANTIRRHINUM, HENDERSON’S NEW GIANT

(Antirrhinum Maximum Giganteum)

For a number of years, we have offered an excellent strain of Snapdragons known as Antirrhinum
majus grandiflorum. This strain on account of its large flowers produced on long spikes, and in a
ebanaing array of colors was in a great measure instrumental in elevating the Snapdragons into popular
avor.

This year we have pleasure in offering a new type of Snapdragons that represent the ultimate advance-
ment of this beautiful flower, namely, the Antirrhinum Maximum Giganteum. The flowers of this type
average about twice the size of those previously offered, and under favorable conditions will produce
well set spikes of flowers about two feet long.

HENDERSON’S
NEW GIANT

SPENCER

Early Flowering sweer peas

Bloom 4 Weeks Earlier Than the late Spencers, Under Congenial Conditions Producing Profusely
Immense Waved Flowers, ‘‘Fours’’ Predominating, on Long Stems

The plants of this new race are of strong constitution, vigorous growthand bloom
continuously for about four months if grown under congenial conditions. Grown
in the open ground they begin flowering in about 106 days from seed sowing or
fully four weeks sooner than late flowering Sweet Peas sown at the same time. It

is predicted by Sweet Pea authorities that this race will supplant all other early and
late flowering Sweet Peas for winter flowering under glass, and also for open ground
culture in our Southern States—sown preferably in fall or winter.

This celebrated lawn grass seed mixture has been thoroughly tested by country-
wide use for more than half a century. It is the fruit of years of experience and
close study of American conditions and is undoubtedly the best for the American
climate. By its use a deep green, velvety sward, free from clumps, can be pro-
duced in from four to six weeks time.

THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED is an intelligently arranged
combination of fine-leaved, dwarf Grasses which are at their best during different
months of the year, thus keeping a lawn constantly covered with enduring green.
Tt is impossible to make an enduring lawn by sowingseed of a single variety, which

Henderson’s Shady Nook Lawn Grass Seed

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of
trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this mixture
there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, dwarf
ates evergreen varieties, which in their wild or natural state are to

found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots.
Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently ‘‘sour,’’ and
if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse

es. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the rate of one

uushel to each thousand square feet, or forty bushels to the acre, is an

excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed
by the use of a sharp rake.

Price, 50c. quart, $1.75 for 4 quarts, $3.00 peck, $11.00 bushel of
Ss.

Henderson’s Sunny South Lawn Grass Seed

It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best grasses
that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, Bermuda
Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months,
turning brown in winter; but by using this mixture, and with some care
and attention to watering, an all-the-year-round lawn can be maintained in
Southern States where grasses do not usually thrive.

Price, 50c. quart, $1.75 for 4 quarts, $3.00 peck, $11.00 bushel of

will only grow vigorously for a portion of the year. Kentucky Blue Grass for
instance, which is sometimes recommended for lawns, grows but sparsely during
midsummer, is slow to form a close sward, requiring two years to do that, and
loses color in hot weather.

“The Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed is sold 20 lbs. per bushel, being practically
free from chaff and other foreign matter. The quantity required for new lawns ts
5 to 6 bushels per acre. For a plot 10 x 20, or 200 square feet, use 1 quart. For
renovating old lawns, use one-half of above quantities. Full instructions for sowing
in every bag and package.

Price, 40c. quart, $1.35 for 4 quarts, $2.50 peck, $9.00 bushel of 20 Ibs.

Henderson’s Terrace Sod Lawn Grass Seed

A special mixture of grasses, best suited for sowing on terraces, embank-
ments and hillsides. These grasses produce long, strong, spreading roots,
thus preventing heavy rains from washing out the soil. These grasses
will withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, and at the
same time produce a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. There
need be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into your lawn by sowing this
mixture, for, though strong-rooted, the grasses are fine-leaved, like those
used in the ‘‘Henderson Lawn Grass’’ mixture.

Henderson’s Seaside Lawn Grass Seed

Along our seacoast there are many beautiful summer homes and resorts
with such sandy saline surroundings that a turf of the favorite lawn grasses
cannot be produced. We have so often made up a mixture of special
grasses to thrive under these trying conditions that we have concluded to
offer it for the benefit of others who may be having the same trouble in
getting grass to grow. Our Seaside mixture will make a good turf of
green on sand where the finer grasses are not so likely to thrive, though of
course, the sand must be top-dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil
before even our Seaside Grass Seed is sown, to enable the young grass

HENDERSON’S SPECIAL GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR HAY AND PERMANENT PASTURE

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

This famous mixture has seeded thousands of acres of meadow and
pasture land for progressive farmers and stock raisers in various parts
of the United States, with most gratifying results. Itis a well-balanced
combination of a number of native and acclimated foreign Grasses and
Clovers, blended and improved upon during exhaustive trials under
widely different conditions, and in various soils and localities, until practi-
cally perfect, our aim being to produce, under the extremes of the American
climate of heat, drought and cold, a PERMANENT, dense and deep-
rooting turf that would yield year after year the maximum quantity of
forage. These Grasses are of superior quality, inviting, sweet and nourish-
ing, whether used as hay or pasture. That we have been successful is
attested by the numerous letters of praise for these special Grass mixtures
we have received from the users, and the tributes to their merits
published in many of the agricultural journals.

In preparing these mixtures the greatest care is exercised in selecting
such varieties as are suited to the soil to be sown, and to attain the object
in view. Therefore a description of the soil and climate, and the
purpose for which sown, and if with or without a grain crop, should
accompany each order. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. Full directions for sowing
enclosed in every bag.

Regarding Clovers

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

Mixed Permanent Clovers, on account of their greater weight, should
be sown separately, but at the same time as the Grasses. This Mixed
Clover comprises White, Mammoth Perennial or Cow Grass, Alsike, etc.

Insects that suck the Juices from Plants, Foliage, etc., such as lice, green, black and white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red spider and scale,

Those in powder form kill by the breathing pores in the insect’s skin; or in liquid form, by being absorbed through their pores.
contact insecticides in powder form are Bug Death, Hellebore, Slug Shot and Tobacco Dust.

ARSENATE OF LEAD POWDER. For dusting it is mixed with
Hydrated Lime or road dust or used inliquid form. To kill most chewing
insects on Plants, Trees, Shrubs, etc., 1t wlll be found far superior to
Arsenate of Lead Paste, which contains a large percentage of moisture leay-

We have discontinued the handling of Arsenate of Lead Paste, for this
reason, and advise the use of Arsenate of Lead Powder. The powder goes
twice as far with better results and is easier to handle.

the use of Bordo and Arsenate of Lead Powder in preference to paste form
as “ mee more readily and holds its strength better and more convenient

Adco Artificial Stable Manure

Use Up Your Waste. Make It Yourself

Dry leaves, mixed with Adco and kept moist, turn into excellent manure.
So do flower stalks, cuttings, pea vines, and almost any other kind of non-
woody vegetable waste.

Adco is a powder which, mixed with vegetable matter and kept moist,
turns the latter into Real Manure, but without the odor, flies, etc. The
process is perfectly simple and not at all laborious. The method is being
generally adopted by gardeners, who know that manure is a necessity to
the soil and can no longer be obtained from stables. Farmers can use
straw, corn stalks, etc., and need no longer maintain live stock.

Each shipment is accompanied by simple directions, which make
any mistake impossible

A high grade product of treated phosphate rock. It is readily soluble,
and is considered as one of the best mediums for supplying the much needed
phosphorus to the soil.

SULPHATE OF AMMONIA (DRY)

As a nitrogenous stimulant there are few fertilizers on the market that are
more satisfactory than Sulphate of Ammonia. It is highly concentrated

ture and are lumpy and practically insoluble.

compared to granulated sugar. Consequently, it is easy to apply and dis-
tributed evenly either by hand or mechanical means.

Sulphate of Ammonia is particularly desirable for grass lands either lawns,
sports turf or pasture grasses. It is also freely used for grains and market
crops. Orchardists also use it for stimulating fruit crops. Being readily
soluble it is quickly available.

A popular form of the essential potash salts. It produces a very beneficial
effect when applied to hay or pasture fields at the rate of 100 to 150 lbs. to

vegetable crops. It contains no noxious weeds or germs, as it has been
subjected to an intense heat, in passing through the dryers. It may, also, be
used as a top dressing to be raked into the soil at the rate of from 60 to 100 lbs.

Florists

G,

The demand for high quality annual and perennial cut
flowers, including the old popular sorls as well as the novellies
has increased the profits of Florists, by stimulating trade during
the summer and autumn months.

It is not unusual for Growers to net $2000.00 or more per acre
during the summer months from a field of Henderson's Invinci-
ble Asters. (See No. 2 on this page). Large profits are also
made from Henderson's Giant Zinnias (see No. 5). See also
Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnias on page 37 in this calaloque.
Another annual to which we wish to call particular attention
on account of tts very desirable culling qualities is the New
Early Flowering Double Crested Cosmos. (see No. 6).

There are many easily grown annuals for which a good
demand might be created, for instance: Clarkia EFElegans or
Ltocky Mountain Garland Flower is an excellent cut flower.
Its graceful slender branches and dainty almond-like blossoms
remain in perfect condition for several days when cut, and is
very satisfactory. We also offer an especially good strain of
Calendula now very popular. Also greally improved varieties
of Snapdragon. Our Tall Giant stratn is the resull of years of
selection in the endeavor to produce Jully garnished spikes.
(See No. 1 on this plate). Our: strain of Beauty or “Giant
Nice’ Stocks, (see No. 4), ts well known to Florists as also is
Henderson's Selected Spencer Sweet Peas, (see No. 3). While

much depends on the cullure, superior flowers can only be
— obtained from the highest quality seeds. It is for
this reason, thal America’s Leading Florists are
Hi}) numbered among our cuslomers.
