VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^ 



DALKEITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



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 May-sown plants the same 

 season, furnishing a supply of this most delicious of vegetables during fall and early 

 winter, for the plants are hardy and maintain their sprouts, even during quite severe 

 weather; in fact, frost greatlv improves their quality and flavor. (See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J lb., $2.50 lb. 



MINIATURE MARROW 



rAPPATC OF DELICIOUS 

 L-/\JDO/\LrIl QUALITY! 



A SMALL : : : 



EXTRA EARLY 

 TDEOPLE who never cared for Cabbage before are infatuated 

 ■*■ with the table qualities of this unique little variety, the 

 flavor being peculiarly mild and delicious, •while the tenderness 

 of the fine-grained heads is unequalled for the home garden; 

 where delicate quality is appreciated, we predict this little gem 

 will be grown every year where once used. The plants grow 

 scarcely larger than a good-sized Lettuce, seldom spreading over 

 a foot of ground, enabling them to be closely planted; the heads 

 are of a rounded, cone shape, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. It 

 grows and heads quickly and may be had about as early as 

 Jersey Wakefield, and two or three successive sowings, at inter- 

 vals of a month, would enable a supply of this delicious Cabbage 

 to be enjoyed during summer and fall. Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. 

 oz., $1.25 "J lb., $4.00 lb. 



'' Your Miniature Marrow Cabbage we find everything you claim for it, 

 wonderfully tender and of delicate flavor even during the hot, dry weather; 

 the little heads are just the right size for boiling." — WM. G. BROWN, 

 Springfield, Mass. 



" I cannot forego the expression of my appreciation of your little Cabbage, 

 Miniature Marrow; even my neighbors, who came in for a share of them, are 

 unlimited in their praises." — C. G. J. ALDEN, Hawks Park, Fla.

Henderson's CHARLESTON 



OR LARGE WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE 



THE BEST FIRST EARLY 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late 

 Peter Henderson, stills holds its undisputed lead as the best 

 extra early variety in cultivation, and is more largely grown 

 than all other First Early Cabbages combined. It is the good, 

 old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earli- 

 ness and crop. Among its merits may also be mentioned its 

 large size of head for so early a variety and the small outside 

 foliage, allowing it to be closely planted; the heads are pyra- 

 midal in shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. We believe 

 our selected stock has no equal. (See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 30c. oz., $1.00 1 lb., $3.00 lb. 



"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield 

 Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No better variety is in 

 cultivation to-day among the early kinds." — Country Gentleman. 



" Your Early Wakefield Cabbage I find of superior merit; they head up beau- 

 tifully into creamy cone-shaped heads of splendid flavor with scarcely any outside 

 leaves, and long standing without cracking open or decaying." 



C. J. HOOVER, Morristown, N. J. 



For some years past customers have requested us to procure 

 for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character- 

 istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size. With 

 this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks 

 of Wakefield a larger type, which is now so fixed in its char- 

 acter that we can offer it with confidence to those desiring a 

 Cabbage of this kind. This selection will average about 50 per 

 cent, larger in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only 

 a few days later. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 J lb., $3.25 lb. 



"Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing S, 10 

 and 12 lbs., as solid as a rock. Out of 800 only SO failed to head; it seems to be a 

 cabbage of great vitality, and the worms and lice damage it but little." 



O. B. STAUFFER, Rocky Ford Colo. 



" Your Cabbage Seed proved very fine with me last season, as it always has 

 done, and I want yours and no other." — E. V. THOMPSON, Louisville, Ky.
