EXTRA EARLY VARIETIES, (for cabbage plants, see page 166.) 



Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson's. (See special description, page IS.) 

 This famous Cabbage was introduced by us, and still retains its lead as the 

 best first Early in cultivation. The heads are of pyramidal shape, with blunt 

 peaks, and are remarkably solid. The outside leaves are small, though of 

 great substance, enabling the plants to stand severe weather. Our seed is 

 from highly-bred, selected stock and is unequaled 



Early Charleston Wakefield. (See special description, page 12.) This is the 

 largest Early Cabbage, which we bred from the Early " Jersey " Wakefield, 

 to meet a demand for a larger heading sort. It possesses all of the valuable 

 characteristics of the parent with the advantage of the heads being fifty per 

 cent, larger, though a few days later. Our strain of the seed is very superior. 



Early Spring, Henderson's. (See special description, page IS.) The only 

 Early, round, flat-headed Cabbage; fully one week earlier than any other flat 

 Cabbage, and yielding one-third more than any other extra early; it heads

 pyramidal heads of excellent quality; good to succeed the extra earlies
