THE CHARLESTON, 
OR LARGE TYPE 
OF WAKEFIELD. 
HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. 
The Standard Early Cabbage of America. 
This variety was first brought into general notice by the late 
Mr. Peter Henderson in his book, ‘*Gardening for Profit,” when it 
was first published twenty-five years ago. Its merits and character- 
istics are now so well known as to hardly need repeating here; 
still, as our catalogue annually falls into the hands of thousands 
who have not before seen it, we may state that it is universally 
considered the best early Cabbage in cultivation. Among its 
merits may be mentioned its large size of head for an early 
sort, small outside foliage, and its uniformity in producing a 
crop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted 
or rounded peak. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 14 lb., $3.00 lb. 
SECOND EARLY CABBAGE. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER. This peerless Cab- 
bage was named and ‘first offered for sale by us in 1874, and 
every year since we have used the utmost care in the selection 
of heads for seed purposes, and have so improved the variety 
that to-day we are selling a far better strain of the Barly 
Summer than we sent out in the year ofits introduction. This 
variety is about ten days later than the Jersey Wakefield, but 
being over double the size, it may be classed as the best second 
early Cabbage. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 14 Ib., $3.00 lb. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. About three weeks later than 
the early varieties. Itis a distinct sort; heads pyramidal, of 
large size, the outer leaves spiral and spreading, which 
necessitates planting it wider than the early sorts. 5c. pkt., 
20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 lb. 
FOTTLER’S IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. One of the very 
best. Heads large, flat, solid, and of good quality. Stem 
remarkably short, a sure header, and will stand long without 
cracking. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 Ib. 
LARGE EARLY YORK. A favorite variety, particularly in 
the South. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 Ib. 
ST. JOHN’S DAY EARLY DRUMHEAD. An early va- 
riety, very dwarf, with medium-sized hard heads. 5c. pkt., 
20c. 0z., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 lb. 
The Largest and Best ‘‘ First Early’’ Cabbage. 
For some years past customers have requested us to pro- 
cure for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the 
characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of a greater 
size. With this in view, we carefully selected from one of our 
best stocks of Wakefield a larger type, which is now so fixed 
in its character that we can offer it with confidence to those desir- 
ing 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 
two or three days later. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 
14 Ib., $3.50 lb. ; 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SPRING. A new extra early Cabbage, 
with around flat head, coming in with the Early Jersey Wake- 
field and yielding one-third more on the same space of ground 
than any other extra early. (For full description and cut see page 
17.) 15c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 14 lb., $8.00 lb. 
EARLY FRENCH OXHEART. A favorite market variety- 
5e pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., $2.00 Ib. 
EARLY YORK. Very early; small, round, slightly heart- 
shaped heads. 5c. pkt., 20c. 0z., 60c. 14 lb., $2.00 lb.
