Hendersons AUTUMN KING 



CABBAGE 



THE KING OF ALL 

 WINTER CABBAGES 



THE BEST KEEPER. 

 THE LARGEST. 



Enormous Solid Heads often 20 

 to 30 lbs each. Interior Crisp, 

 Close, Fine'grained and White. 



THIS peerless variety was introduced by us, and we can say 

 without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage in this 

 country today, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it pro- 

 duces enormous solid heads of that desirable dull green shade. 

 It has such small outer leaves that it can be planted closer than 

 the ordinary late sorts ; for this reason it can be relied upon to 

 produce a greater weight per acre than any other variety. A dis- 

 tinctive feature of the Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped 

 leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enable it to be 

 distinguished anywhere. But, however good a variety may be at 

 its introduction, it is of paramount importance that improve- 

 ment in purity be steadily maintained. To this end we have for 

 many years worked most assiduously on our stock of this valu- 

 able variety, and it is only fair to say that our stock as it is sold 

 today is more of a "King" than ever. 



It has successfully stood the most severe of all tests, the com- 

 petition of the market stand, and is prized and relied on by 

 prominent growers in all sections of the country. {See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. M lb., $3.25 lb. 



"Your Autumn King is the finest Cabbage for winter keeping I ever had, and it 

 is the sweetest cabbage 1 have ever eaten." 



MRS. G. F. HORNER, Monaghan, Pa. 

 " Your Autumn King Cabbage I have raised for 14 years and found none other 

 equal; it is the best late cabbage I have ever tried and also a good keeper." 



G. W. SPANGLER, Voltair, Pa. 

 "I have been growing Cabbage for over 20 years and I find your A utumn King 

 thebest I ever had." GEO. W. BROWN, Augusta Springs, Va. 



"I have planted your Autumn King Cabbage for several years; it excels all other 

 sorts. A large proportion of my crop averaged over 25 lbs. per head." 



R. W. READ, Sherando, Va. 

 "For your Autumn King Cabbage I cannot say too much in its praise as to 

 productiveness, quality and keeping qualities." 



F. P. BLANCHARD, Sanford Corner, Me. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF 



Danish Ball -head 



OR HOLLAND CABBAGE. 



THIS type of winter Cabbage has become 

 very popular of late years on account of 

 its unequaled keeping qualities as well 

 as for the great solidity and weight of the 

 heads ; it is strong and vigorous in growth, a 

 little "leggy" but producing large, round, 

 compact heads exceedingly hard and solid, 

 weighing, when trimmed, fully one-fourth more 

 than any other Cabbage of equal size; in consequence, it keeps 

 in fine condition until spring. For boiling, slaw, sauerkraut, 

 etc.it is unsurpassed, being crisp, tender and sweet. It seems 

 to grow luxuriantly on all soils and under most conditions, with- 

 standing hot, dry weather, and does not rot from the effects of 

 wet seasons, and the heads do not burst. Our strain of Danish 

 Ball-head Cabbage yields a larger number of solid heads than 

 any other variety. This is the testimony of almost every large 

 grower of winter Cabbage. (See cut.) ' Price. 10c. pkt., 30c. 

 oz., 85c. H lb., $3.00 lb. 



"Find enclosed a photograph of a. field of your Danish Ball-head Cabbage grown 

 by myself. I have used your seed of it for the past 10 years and find it satisfactory 

 in every way." R. T. PARMELE, Adams Basin, N. Y. 



The photograph referred to we reproduce above. 



"Your Danish Ball-head Cabbage gives excellent satisfaction. In my crop of 

 SBO tons (25 acres) I did not find a head of domestic or any other variety but the 

 genuine Danish." JAMES H. CARR, Kent, N. Y. 



"I raised two acres of Danish Ball-head Cabbage from your seed that gave me 

 S3 tons. It was the finest Cabbage drawn to market here; they were more brittle 

 and the finest grained of any in the market"
