THE KING iLl WINTER CABBAGES. 



What People Have to Say who Have 

 Grown it: 



" The Autumn King Cabbage Seed I have bought from you 

 annually since 1S90. I have raised ftoni them Cabbages that 

 could not be surpassed in size and solidity of heads. It has 

 been with mean all-year-round Cabbage." — A.M.Kimberlin, 

 Zanesville, Ohio. 



" We had 1.000 plants of Autumn King Cabbage from you 

 last year, and, considering the terribly dry season we had, 1 

 think there is no other Cabbage like it either for pickling or 

 for other winter use." — P. M. Alexander, Canton, O. 



" The Autumn King Cabbage gave large solid heads, 13 to 

 18 pounds, as stated in catalogue. It received nothing but 

 praise from all who saw it." — Kobt. Smith, Louisville, Ky. 



■' The Autumn KingCabbage is the best late variety for this 

 country I have ever .struck. The water was all over my gar- 

 den the 9tb of November, and 1 was obliged to gather the 

 Flat Dutch varieties, but the A utumn King is still out and is 

 in good condition. The water being over the heads did not 

 make them burst. It is aKingamongCabbage." — AYm.Rugg, 

 Bridgeport, Conn. 



" From your A utumn King Cabbage Seed I have raised the 

 Snest Cabbages that I ever saw. Some of the heads {after 

 being trimmed ready for market) weighed 10 pounds in Sep- 

 tember. It is very tender and of fine flavor." — L. A. King, 

 Mexico, Mo. 



"For your Autumn King Cabbage I cannot say too much 

 in its praise as to productiveness, quality and keeping quali- 

 ties. I have them now in the cellar in good condition. — F. P. 

 Blanchabd, Sanlord Corner, Me. 



A BIG PRESTON COUNTY CABBAGE. 



"Editors 'Post'; — We see in the 'Post' of the loth in.st., 

 notice of a large Cabbage measuring 3 feet in circumference. 

 I this day measured what we think is our largest, and it is just 

 47 inches, clean solid goods, and weighs 26 lbs. This is the 

 Autumn King variety from Peter Henderson & Co., 35 and 37 

 Cortlandt Street, New York. Lots of 36 and 40 circumferences 

 and from 18 to 20 pounders." — F. M. Huffman, Marquess, 

 W. Va.

THE LflRGEST, Enornious Solid Heads,

25 to 30 pounds each. 



Interior Crisp, Close, Fine°grained and White. 



This peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation, all 

 statements to the contrarj* notwithstanding, that it is the finest late Cabbage 

 in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper ; it produces enor- 

 mous, solid heads of that glaucous green shade that is most desirable in a Cab- 

 bage. It has also such small outer leaves that it can be planted much closer 

 together than the ordinary late sorts, and it can be relied upon to produce a 

 greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact that it pro- 

 duces very few outer leaves and goes sM. to head. A distinctive feature of the 

 Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its appear- 

 ance, but enable it to be distinguished anywhere. So distinct is the Autumn King 

 that the veriest novice can readily tell it in the trial grounds at a glance, and yet, 

 notwithstanding this distinctiveness, a Long Island grower succeeded in foisting it 

 under a new name on a Philadelphia firm of seedsmen. It is only fair to say that 

 on having their attention called to the matter they have in a way acknowledged 

 their error. We mention this that our customers may not be misled. If you 

 want the true Autumn King Cabbage, send to us, who introduced it. The en-, 

 graving gives a good idea of its appearance.
