HENDEESOX'S SELECTED LATE FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. 

 (AMERICAN GEOWX.) 



Henderson's Selected Late 

 Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



As in the case of our extra early Pea, " First ol 

 Ail," referred to elsewhere, we have been dealing 

 out this unsurpassed stoci< of Cabbage in small quan- 

 tities for several seasons, until now, when our sup 

 ply is sufficiently large to enable us to catalogue it. 

 The seed we offer has been grown from heads uni- 

 form in size, large and solid, and customers who 

 may try our stock this season will find that it is one 

 of the most satisfactory strains thev have ever 

 grown, j^ ^^j^ pgj. p]^^ . 2^ ^jj^ pgj. ^^^

XETTED SATOT CABBAGE. 



Cabbage— Netted Savoy. 



Our illustration gives a very good idea of the 

 peculiar characteristics of this fine variety, which is 

 crimpled and netted to an unusual degree, and it 

 also forms a compact, solid head. It should be 

 generally known that the Savoy varieties are the 

 finest flavored of all the cabbage tribe, and amateurs 

 who raise only one or two varieties of cabbage for 

 their own use should certainly include one of the 

 Savoy sorts.

New Lettuce— Yellow Seeded 

 Butter. 



Like the Salamander, this withstands summer 

 heat well, and stands long before running to seed. 

 It is a very distinct sort, making a large, dense yel- 

 low head, verjtcrisp and tender, and excellent in 

 flavor. Its beautiful yellow heart gives it a very 

 handsome appearance.

 BLACK SEEDED SIMPSOX LETTUCE. 



Lettuce — Black Seeded 

 Simpson. 



We consider this Black-Seeded Simpson to be 

 one of the most desirable acquisitions that has been 

 made to our list of Lettuces within ten years. It 

 has now been thoroughly tested and from every 

 side we hear the most satisfactory reports in regard 

 to it. Like the ordinary Curled Simpson, it does 

 not properly form a head, but a compact mass of 

 leaves; but differs in being very much lighter col- 

 ored, the leaves being almost white ; stands the 

 summer heat splendidly, and attains a size nearly 

 double that of Curled Simpson. It is equally 

 suited for forcing; but, on account of its large 

 size, it might not prove to be as profitable under 

 some circumstances as the strictly forcing varieties,- 

 such as Boston Market or Tennis Ball.
