enderson's Burccession Cabbage 
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY RESPECT, 
The Grandest Cabbage in Existence! Whether for Summer 
or Winter use. 
The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valuable 
contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a second 
early variety, coming ina few days later than Karly Sum-' 
| ae 
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 has no equal. It is so 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. It is 
probably the safest variety for 
an amateur to plant as it does 
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 -=2=4%y 
reat merit will be apparent <M 67 f= 
fo all. We could fill many = Maki

monials that we have re- 
ceived from all sections of 
the country in regard to its = 
great excellence.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY WHO HAVE GROWN IT: 
Gentlemen :—‘‘I am right here to state that 
your Succession Cabbage is the best cabbage 
that has ever been planted on my grounds. I 
planted four other kinds of cabbage side by 
side of your Succession, and Succession beat 
-them all. 
It is the grandest cabbage yet in- 
troduced ; although it has been a very dry 
summer here and all other cabbages failed, 
I have heads of your Succession that 
would fill a half-bushel measure. s 
“Friends, I advise you all who receive 
Mr. Peter Henderson’s catalogue to try his 
great Succession Cabbage, for it is the 
greatest cabbage that has ever been 
planted, and I speak of what I know to be 
correct.” EVI M. DOVE, Criders, Va. 
“I wish to say the Henderson Succession 
Cabbage seed that you sent me last year did 
the best that I ever saw in all my life. I 
planted '4 acre 3 ft. each way and sold 7,200 
Ibs. besides cabbage for table use through the 
winter.

“Your Succession Cabbage is by far the 
best cabbage Lever raised. I had six va- 
rieties from as many seedsmen, but none of 
them compare with the Succession.” 
DWIGHT HERRICK, 
Wholesale Gardener, Rockford, Ill. 
‘*Henderson’s Succession, for a medium 
early variety, is the finest and most perfect 
early cabbage in existence. It grows large, 
hard heads of uniform size, and is the most 
beautiful type of cabbage lever saw. In9 
years of cabbage raising I have seen noth- 
ing to equal it,and am perfectly delighted 
with it. Itis bound to fill a large place in 
the cabbage culture of this country.” 
R. C. TROWBRIDGE, Tully, N. Y. 
“T got Henderson’s Succession Cabbage 
from you last year, and my field was the 
admiration of every one who saw it. I 
shipped 1,560 barrels of as fine cabbage as 
ever went out of Florida.” 
ALFRED AYER, Lake Weir, Fla. 
«T plant mostly cabbage, and find Succes- 
sion superior to all others for this country.” 
W. R. WOOLFE, La Grange, Fla. 
NOTE.—This peerless variety, although only recently introduced, is becoming so well known and so much sought after that dealers everywhere are offering 
the ‘‘ Succession Cabbage.’’ 
We desire to warn our customers against all such, unless the seed is in our original packages and stamped with our red trade-mark. 
This is of vital importance, as many inferior stocks of Cabbage are being offered under the name of ‘‘ Succession ’’ or ‘‘ Henderson’s Succession.”’
