Henderson's Charleston Wakefield. 



"THE CHARLESTON" or Large Type of Wakefield 



The Largest and Best "First Early" Cabbage. 



For some years past customers of ours in the South 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 confid- 

 ence to truckers desiring a cabbage of this kind, as will be seen 

 by the cut, this selection will average about 50 per cent, larger 

 in size than the old type of Wakereld, and is only two or three 

 days later. (See cut.) Price, 10c. per pkt.; 50c. per oz.; 

 $1.50 per )l lb.; $5.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S EHRLY SNOWBALL CHULIFLOWER. 



The Earliest. The Surest Header. The Most 



Profitable. The Best Variety for Either 



Market or Family Gardens. 



Whether intended for private use or to be grown for market, 

 Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower is superior 

 to all others. First, because it is the earliest of all 

 Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after 

 season, since we first made its merits known ; 6econd, be- 

 cause under the conditions of an ordinary favorable season, 

 nearly every plant will form a perfect snow-white head, aver- 

 aging nine inches in diameter ; third, for the reason that its 

 close-growing, compact habit enables one-third more to be 

 planted on the same space of ground than can be done with 

 any other variety. For forcing under glass during winter and 

 spring, this Early Snowball variety is peculiarly well ad- 

 apted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for 

 this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. 

 It also does equally well for late planting. 25c. per pkt.; 

 $4.00 per oz. ; $14.00 per % lb.

Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



HANDSOME, LARGE, 



AND A SURE HEADER. 



Henderson's Succession Cabbage, has 

 probably been more thoroughly and criti- 

 cally tested than any other variety. It 

 is only a few days 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 magnificent, 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. Price, 10c. per 

 pkt.; 40c. per oz. ;$i.25 per %\b.\ $4.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S HUTUflIN KING. 



The finest strain of late Cabbage extant. It produces re- 

 gular, even heads of enormous size, and can be relied upon to 

 produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other late 

 sort, from the fact of its producing so few outer leaves and go- 

 ing all to head. Price, 10c. per pkt.; 40c. per oz. ; §1.25 per 

 % lb. ; $4.00 per lb.
