HENDERSON'S 
The Grandest Cabbage in Existence ! 
The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valuable 
contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as asecond 
early variety, coming in a few days later than Early Sum- 
mer, but it is immeasurably superior to that variety ; it is 
of 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 is the finest cabbage in 
existence to-day ; whether for medium early, main 
crop or late use, it hasnoequal. Itisso 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, not only being of the 
largest size, but of handsome color 
and of the finest quality. Itis 
probably the safest variety for 
anamateur to plant asitdoes 
well at all seasons, and one 
is almost sure of getting a 
crop, no matter when it is 
planted. -Our stocks of cab- 
bage of all varieties have for 
years been the acknowledged 
standard of excellence in this 
country, and when we state 
that we consider Succession 
to be the most valuable va- 
riety that we have ever in- 
troduced, our opinion of its 
great merit will be apparent 
to all. We could fill many 
pages of our catalogue with 
unsolicited flattering testi- 
monials that we have re- 
ceived from all sections of 
the country in regard to its 
great excellence.

*‘ We grew 16 acres of Succession, as 
fine Cabbage as ever grew.”’ 
«‘Your Succession Cabbage did all you claim 
for it last year. I beatall of my competitors 
badly. I can recommend it as a first-class 
second early as I found it a sure header.” 
“This year I set out in my garden 25 
plants of your Succession Cabbage. They 
matured about September ist, and they 
averaged 18 lbs. in weight, having several 
heads weighing 22 to 2414 1bs. each. The 
smallest head weighed 13 lbs.” 
“‘Let me say a few words about the Suc- 
cession Cabbage. 200 solid hard heads 
from 200 plants, 10 to 13 inches in diame- 
ter, some weighing 13 and 14 lbs. and the 
earliest in town. It is the best Cabbage 
ever raised where groundis not plenty, for 
every head counts large. I sold 50 plants 
which gave the same result; all from one 10 
cent packet.’’ 
“Your Succession Cabbage is the finest I 
everplanted. I haveone head which measures 
18 inchesin diameter. It all heads, and all are 
large heads.” 
“‘Henderson’s Succession Cabbage is hard to 
beat. Every plant made a fine head, some weighing 
15 lbs., notwithstanding a prolonged drought. They 
produced double the yield of Jersey Wakefield and Early 
Winningstadt planted alongside of it.” 
“Your Succession Cabbage excels all other Cabbage for this

climate and altitude (7,600 feet}. I have plenty 
of heads now, March 9th, 1896,in my cellar that 
will weigh 20 lbs. each.” 
«<The two rows of Henderson Succession Cab- 
bage were worth more than the two dozen rows 
on each side of other strains.” 
“Thad one head of Succession Cabbage that 
weighed 15 lbs. The like we have never had 
around here before.” 
“T find your Succession Cabbage is the best 
for Galveston Island. It makes heads when all 
other kinds fail. I can raise a finer crop of 
Henderson’s Succession on half the manure that 
Ican any other Cabbage. I triedit side by side 
with three other kinds, which failed, while your 
Succession made fine heads. It is one of the 
finest Cabbages in existence.”’ 
“The Succession Cabbage was the best I ever 
taised; every plant madea fine head. I have 
bought seed of twenty or more seedsmen, and 
yours are the best.” 
**Your Succession Cabbage is the best keeper 
for winter. This is the 27th of February, and 
the cabbage is as solid and firm as if it was still 
fall, when I placed. it in the cellar.” 
**We consider your Succession Cabbage the 
finest by long odds raised in this section. In the 
midst of over ten rival fields, your Succession 
| easily caps them all.’”’ 
We 
desire to warn our customers against all such, unless the seed is bought from us direct and in our original packages. This is of vital importance, as 
many inferior stocks of Cabbage are being offered under the name of ‘‘ Succession’”’ or ‘‘ Henderson’s Succession.’’
