PETER HENDERSON & CO -VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



BSOI* 



BBIGE 



HANDSOME, LARGE, AND A SURE HEADER. 



We have always been identified with the Cabbage trade, our stocks of all the varieties being the acknowledged standard of excellence 

 in this country. The SUCCESSION we regard as the most valuable variety that has been introduced since the Early Summer 

 (first sent out by us in 1874), and is the best Cabbage for either early or late use ever offered. The SUCCESSION is about one 

 week later than the Early Summer, but is double the size, and is so finely bred that in a field of ten acres every head was a mag- 

 nificent perfect specimen, fit for exhibition purposes. Despite the low prices realized by the Cabbage crop last season, the 

 SUCCESSION brought paying prices wherever grown, and may well be regarded as a boon to the gardening community. Owins 

 to the scarcity of the seed, it has heretofore been very expensive, but we are now in a position to supply it at greatly reduced 

 prices. (Shown on colored plate.) 15 cts. per pkt. ; 8 pkts. for $1.00; 80 cts. per oz. ; $2.50 per J^ lb. ; $8.00 per lb. 



Words of Praise for Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



.A. few Testinaon.ia.ls selected from several livrndrecl received last season: 



Thanks for extras. — Geo. F. Stiller, Edella, la., 



Succession Cabbage is the boss. It is the best of all Cabbages that come to Mont- 

 gomery from everywhere, so all who use it say.— Amos A. Kause, Montgomery, 

 N. Y., July 31st, 1889. 



The "Succession" Cabbage seed we had from you is doing splendidly, and we 

 "have it growing beside the "Surehead" to test them. As they are not fully de- 

 veloped yet, we cannot speak positively, but so far we much prefer the "Succes- 

 sion." which is the general opinion of all who have seen them. — Webster Bbos., 

 Penguin, N. W. Coast Tasmania, Aug. 3d, 1889. 



We found your Succession Cabbage in last season's trial to be all vou claim for 

 it, the best second early.— E. V. & J. H. Eaton, So. Sudbury. Mass., Feb. 18th, 1889. 



Tour Yellow Globe Onion Seed did splendidly with me this season. The Mikado 

 Tomato there is no use in saying anything about, and your Succession Cabbage is 

 wonderful; it cannot be improved. — D. E. Sweet, Watertown, N. Y., Sept. 15th, 1889. 



The seeds I ordered of you came to hand all 0. K. I have bought seeds of you 

 for fifteen years, and have always been well pleased with them. Your Successio/i 



Cnbbnqe is the finest I ever saw. 

 March 7th, 1889. 



I might say that the seed I got from you last produced the best results I ever had 

 in my twenty-five years' experience. I must say of Succession Cabbage, that every 

 head was marketable; in fact, I had the best Cabbages last season that I ever raised 

 in my lite. — John P. Wanding, Fairport, X. Y. 



The seeds and plants I bought of you this spring turned out as yon represented 

 them, and that is more than I can say of other firms. Your New Bush Lima Bean 

 is a great acquisition, and I have no doubt that it will supplant the hideou^pol^ 

 Bean. Your Early Snowball Cauliflower far surpassed my expectations. For 

 earliness and size it has no equal. I got 50 plants, and all but two made fine heads. 

 Your Succession Cabbage surpasses anything I have ever grown. This is the 

 third season I have grown your Mikado Tomato, and I can safely say, in pro- 

 ductiveness and size it is superior to anything I have seen. Thanks for "your kind 

 attention and extras. — Wm. A. Bbbgess, Je., Gardener to J. Raymond, In wood, X. Y., 

 July loth, 1889.
