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 thirty-three years ago. 

 Its merits and characteristics are now so well known as to hardly need repeating 

 here ; still, as our catalogue annually falls into the hands of thousands who have Dot 

 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 foli- 

 age, and its uniformity in 

 producing a crop. The heads 

 are pyramidal in shape, 

 having a blunted or rounded 

 peak. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 35c. 

 oz., $1.20 i^ lb., $3.75 lb. 



THE CHARLESTON, 



OR LARGE TYPE 

 OF WAKEFIELD. 



The Largest and Best "First 

 Early" Cabbage. 



For some years past cus- 

 tomers have requested us to 

 procure 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 

 desiring 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. 

 $4.00 lb. 



"I have been using Cal>bage for 

 the past 30 years, and J Hud Hen- 

 derson's to be the most reliable of 

 all; Ins seed is really better than 

 be claims It to be."— Chas. E. Mc- 

 Gratu, Bucktown, Md. 



"lean truthfully sav that your 

 Cabbage Seed produces the best 

 Cabbage that I ever sa w, either for 

 market or family use, and I shall 

 alwa >s use your Cabbage Seeds m 

 the future and recommend them 

 among m v friends and neighbors.
