THE SUPERIOR 
OF ALL 
Winter Cabbage 1a 
“The Autumn King Cabbage Seed I have bought 
Srom you annually since 7890. Ihave raised from 
them Cabbages that could not be surpassed in 
sizeand solidity of heads. It has been with me 
an all-year-round Cabbage.” 
““T take great pleasure in stating that your 
Autumn King and Succession Cabbages are the 
finest and the only Cabbages that we plant.” 
“We had 7,000 plants of Autumn King Cabbage 
from you last year, and, considering the terrible 
dry season we had, I think there is no other Cab- 
bage like it either for pickling or for other 
winter use.” 
“*T cannot speak too highly in praise of the 
Autumn King Cabbage. I had heads last year 
that weighed, trimmed, 79 lbs.” 
“The Autumn King Cabbage gave large solid 
heads, 75 to 78 lbs., as stated in catalogue. It re- 
ceived nothing but praise from all who saw it.” 
“Your Autumn King Cabbage I prefer to all 
others, bothas to flavor as well as size and solidity 
of head, and I think it would be hard to finda 
better keeper. It certainly is a success.” 
“The Autumn King Cabbage is the best late 
variety for this country Ihave ever struck. The 
water was all over my garden the 9th of November, 
and I was obliged to gather t Flat. Dutch 
varieties, but the Autumn King is still out and 
isin good condition. The water being over the 
heads did not make them burst. It is a King 
among Cabbage.” 
“The Autumn King Cabbage which I purchased 
of you last year was the jinest I ever raised. It 
measured 7/ inches across the heads, and some 
weighed 74 lbs. each. They are the best keepers. 
I do not think any one in my town had such 
Cabbage as I had.” 
“ From your Autumn King Cabbage Seed T have 
raised the finest Cabbages that I ever saw. Some 
of the heads (after being trimmed ready for 
market) weighed 19 lbs. in September. It is very 
tender and of jine flavor.” 
“Tsent a specimen of your Autumn King Cab- 
bage to the Sioux City Corn Palace. It weighed 
27 1-4 lbs., and I will wager $/00 that I can raise 
more pounds to the 100 heads than any other 
rower can with any other variety. I sold 200 
ads tooneman that averaged 22 4-2 lbs, to the 
head,” 
fJoudersons AUTUMN KINGe 
Enormous solid heads, averaging 15 to 18 lbs. Interior creamy white, compact and crisp. 
Measuring 36 to 40 inches in circumference, and, specially grown, often reaches 25 to 30 Ibs. each. 
Unequalled for cooking or slicing. Flavor especially fine. It is the best winter keeper. 
HIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say, without hesitation, all statements 
to the contrary notwithstanding, that it is the finest late Cabbage in this country 
to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it produces enormous, solid heads of 
that glaucous green shade that is most desirable in a Cabbage. It has also such small 
outer leaves that it can be planted muck closer together than the ordinary late sorts, 
and it can be relied upon to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other 
variety, from the fact that it produces very few outer leaves and goes all to head. A 
distinctive feature of the AUTUMN KING is the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only 
add to its appearance, but enable it to be dis- 
tinguished anywhere. So distinct is the AUTUMN 
Kine that the veriest novice can readily tell it |
