 than ours that it will not permit them to await the receipt of our general Catalogue of " Everything for the Garden," which is 

 issued about the ist of January.

HENDERSON'S SELECTED Early Jersey Wakefield. 

 ORIGINAL STOCK. 



The merit and characteristics of the Early Jersey 

 "Wakefield Cabbage are now so well known as to hardly 

 need repeating here ; still as our Catalogue annually falls into 

 the hands of thousands who have not 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 foliage, and its 

 uniformity in producing a crop. The heads are pyramidal in 

 shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. This variety was 

 first brought into general notice by our Mr. Peter Henderson 

 in his book, "Gardening for Profit," when it was first pub- 

 lished twenty-five years ago. {See Cut.) Price, 10c. perpkt.; 

 35c. per oz.; $1,00 per £ lb.; §3.5operlb. 



"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 con- 

 fidence 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 Wakefield, and is 

 only two or three days later. (Stock limited.) Price, 20c. per 

 pkt.; 75c. per oz.; $2.00 per j lb.; $7.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



Handsome, Large, and a Sure Header. 



It is now two years since we first offered Henderson's Succes- 

 sion Cabbage, and in that time it has probably been more 

 thoroughly and critically tested than any other variety. The SUCCES- 

 SION 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 magnificent, perfect specimen, fit for exhibition pur- 

 poses. 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. 

 (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt.; 8 pkts. $1.00; 80c. oz. ; $2.50^ lb.; 

 $8.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SUMMER. 



This peerless Cabbage was named and first offered for sale by 



us in 1874, and every year since we have used the utmost care in 



the selection of heads for seed purposes, and have so improved 



the variety that to day we are selling a far better strain of the 



Karly Summer than we sent out in the yearof its introduction 



Henderson's Early Summer is about ten days later than 



Henderson's succession cabbage. tlie j ersey Wakefield, but being of over double the size, it may be 



classed as the best large early Cabbage 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 a tendency to run to seed if 



sown at the dates suitable for other early sorts. Price, 10c. perpkt.; 35c. peroz.; $1.00 per J- lb.; $3.50 per lb.
