Cauliflower Plants. 



Henderson's Snowball Cauliflower is the standard 

 everywhere for quality with the market gardener 

 and the amateur. While originally recommended 

 and used as an early variety, it has not only sup- 

 planted all other sorts for early spring planting, but 

 it has largely driven out the large late sorts for fall 

 use, being much finer in quality, and the one Cauli- 

 flower that is absolutely certain to head when con- 

 ditions are ordinarily favorable, invariably forming a 

 perfect snowwhite head, averaging not less than 

 9 inches and often attaining a size of 10 to 12 inches 

 in diameter, and the " flower " is so compact, so 

 deep and solid that the heads will out weigh those of 

 any other strain. Price of plants, S7.50 per 1000; 

 SI. 00 per 100. By express only at buyer's expense.

Autumn King, Henderson's. The acknowledged 

 " King " of all Winter Cabbages, producing enorm- 

 ous solid heads weighing 25 to 30 lbs.; interior 

 crisp, close, fine grained a-id white: splendid 

 keeper, an entirely distinct variety with such small 

 outer leaves that it can be planted nvch closer 

 than the ordinary late sorts and be relied upon to 

 produce a greater weight of crop per acre than 

 any other variety. The heads are of that desir- 

 able dull green shade. The texture and qual- 

 ity is unsurpassed. " The Sweetest Cabbage ever 

 eaten." It has successfully stood the most severe 

 of all tests, the competition of the market stand, 

 and is prized and relied on by prominent growers in 

 all sections of the country. 



Holland or Danish Ball Head. This type of 

 winter Cabbage has become very popular of 

 late years on account of its unequalled keep- 

 ing 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 luxur- 

 iantly 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 uo not 

 burst. 



Henderson's Succession. By experts it is pro- 

 nounced the most perfect type of cabbage grown; 

 nearly every Cabbage heads up, of a uniformly 

 perfect shape, large and heavy. Although largely 

 grown for midsummer use, it is most valuable as a 

 fall or winter variety, as its firm, solid heads make 

 it an excellent keeper. 



Late Flat Dutch, Henderson's Selected. Our im- 

 proved highly-bred strain of this old favorite 

 Winter Cabbage. 



Drumhead Savoy. The quality and flavor of this 

 " Crumpled Leaf " Cabbage is very superior; 

 grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost 

 it is sweet, delicate and most delicious. It is the 

 largest heading Savoy variety and a general 

 favorite for both home use and market. 



Red Dutch. Used almost exclusively for pickling. 

 It is one of the hardiest of all Cabbages.

Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celery. Large Smooth 

 Prague. Produces large turnip-like roots which 

 keep well for winter use ; it is highly esteemed either 

 cooked, for flavoring soup or sliced and used as a 

 salad. The bulbs are almost round, uniform, 

 smooth skinned and free from side roots. 



Kohl-Rabi. Early White Vienna. A bulbous- 

 formed vegetable; when cooked, before fully grown, 

 is tender and excellent, combining the flavors of 

 Cabbage and Turnip. Large, quick-growing, 

 greenish-white skin and tender white flesh. 



Brussels Sprouts. Dwarf Improved. This variety 

 is a great improvement, being of dwarf, sturdy 

 growth and producing abundantly, large solid 

 " sprouts." These little heads of compactly 

 folded leaves develop along the stalk, and are 

 ready for gathering from June-sown seeds the 

 same season, furnishing a supply of this most 

 delicious of vegetables during fall and early winter, 

 for the plants are hardy and maincain their sprouts, 

 even during quite severe weather; in fact, frost 

 greatly improves their quality and flavor. 



Kale, or Borecole, Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. 



Largely grown for supplying " greens " during the 

 fall, winter and spring; used small, like Spinach; 

 also useful in garnishing. The plants are hardy 

 where the temperature does not fall to zero; frost 

 improves the quality. 



Brown German Curled, or Purple.
