HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER CABBAGE. 
(AMERICAN GROWN.) 
Nine years ago we first disseminated this variety, and with the many really good new things with which we have 
become identified we consider this, perhaps, the best. The Early Summer is about ten days later than the Wakefield, 
but being of over double the size, it may be classed as the best large early cabbage. In wet t it is equal to most of the 
late varieties, andits short outer leaves enable it to be planted nearly as close as the Jersey Wakefield, about 12,000 to the 
acre, while Early Flat Dutch, Winningstadt, etc., producing no larger heads, can only be produced at the rate of 8,000 to 
the acre. Another excellent quality of the Early Summer Cabbage is that it keeps longer without bursting open after 
heading than any variety we know of. We would, however, caution those of our customers who intend to grow it in cold 
frames (to winter over) to sow it at least ten days later than the Wakefield, or other early varieties, as it has some tendency 
to run to seed if sown at the dates suitable for other early sorts. In this latitude we sow Early Summer on the 25th of 
September, : 10c. per pkt.; 40c. per oz.; $1.25 per 14 lb.; $4.00 per lb. 
HENDERSON’S SELECTED LATE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 
(AMERICAN GROWN.) 
As in the case of our extra early Pea, ‘‘ First of All,’’ referred to elsewhere, we have been dealing out this unsurpassed 
stock of cabbage in small quantities for several seasons, until now, when our supply is sufficiently large to enable us to 
catalogue it. ‘The seed we offer has been grown from heads uniform in size, large oat solid, and customers who may try 
our stock this season will find that it is one of the most satisfactory strains they have ever grown. 
10 cts. per pkt.; 39 cts. per oz.; $1.00 per ¥ lb.; $3.50 per lb.
