Famed for its tender, delicious and (Henderson’s) 
savory flavor, also for its healthful and 
obesity-reducing qualities, and lastly 
for its extreme ease of culture. 
The plant grows about two feet high, 
is branching in character, and each 
branch terminates in a green sprout. 
When the green sprouts, which are 
actually a mass of flower buds, have 
developed to two or three inches across 
(and before the flowers appear), they 
are ready for use. 261 GREEN ACRE (NEW) 
It thrives anywhere. For an early 
crop, start the seed in a cold frame and 
transplant seedlings in the open ground 
after frost. 
For late crop, start seed in the open

months. It is cooked and served like 
The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex-

quality to any of its class and admirably 
suited to succeed the very early sorts.

WAKEFIELD 
(Henderson’s Original) 
The Best First-Early, Pointed- 
Head Cabbage 
The heads are pyramidal in shape, hay- 
ing a blunted or rounded peak. It is 
beyond question the best variety for 
spring and early summer in the private 
garden. Its first appearance brings a 
welcome change from the hard-headed 
winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield 
is attractive in appearance and essentially 
good in quality. (See illustration.)

Cauliflower. inner leaves which make up the head. 273 PREMIER (Henderson’s) 
It is the earliest of all the round-headed 
varieties, fully 3 to 4 days earlier than ~ 
Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, 
the plant is more compact; it can there- 
fore be planted closer than other sorts, 
so that quality cabbage can be grown 
in even the smallest garden. The heads 
are very firm, and the quality is de- 
licious, tender and succulent. 
Price, pkt., 25c; oz., 90c; % Ib., $2.75. 
EARLY MARKET (Henderson’s) 
The plant is small, with short stem, and 
few outer leaves. These have the ex- 
cellent habit of curving inward, thus 
providing protection to the head. 
For home use its remarkably fine 
quality and tenderness will be greatly 
appreciated. There is an entire absence 
of coarse veins and leaves, and it has 
the quality peculiar to some of the best 
sorts of hardening the head before it 
has attained its full size.

‘263 MARION MARKET 
(Second Early) 
One of the first resistant strains to be 
developed. Marion Market has proven 
very profitable for many growers because 
of its dependability and heavy yields, even 
on yellows infected soil. The plants and 
heads are larger than Copenhagen Market.

275 RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE 
(Extra Early) 
This strain has proven highly re- 
sistant to ‘‘yellows’’ and has made 
it possible for growers to produce a 
good crop of early Cabbage in many 
areas infested with this disease. The 
heads closely resemble our strain of 
regular Golden Acre, but mature a 
day or two later.

No. 8 (Late) 
This is a “‘yellows’’ resistant strain 
of the Danish Ballhead type. An

and shipping. The plants are large 
and very hardy. The heads are 
large, practically round and solid.
