Henderson’s “Autumn King’ Cabbage. 
HIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation that it is the finest late 
Cabbage in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it produces enormous, 
solid heads of that dark shade of green that is most desirable ina Cabbage, and has such small 
outer leaves that it can be planted much closer together than the ordinary late sorts, ‘and 
can be relied upon to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact 
of its producing so few outer leaves and going all to head. A distinctive feature of the AUTUMN 
KING is the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enable it to be dis-

Those who have grown Henderson’s ‘“‘Autumn King’’ Cabbage say: 
“© A gardener bought Autumn King Cabbage of me this spring, and he has the largest 
and best Cabbages of any gardener here.” FRED REULE, Lafayette, Ind. 
“The Autumn King Cabbage is the best late variety for this country I have ever struck. 
The water was all over my garden the 9th of November, and I was obliged to gather the Flat 
Dutch varieties, but the Autumn King is still out and is in good condition. The water being 
over the heads did not make them burst. Jtis a King among Cabbage.” 
L. W. KAYLOR, Napavine, Washington. 
“«T can only speak in the highest terms of the Autumn King Cabbage. It is the finest 
late Cabbage.” W. W. CONKLIN, Jamesport, N. Y. 
“The Autumn King Cabbage which I purchased of you last year was the finest I ever 
raisel. Jt measured \1 inches across the heads, and some weighed 14 pounds each. They are 
the best keepers. Ido not think any one in my town had such Cabbage as I had.” 
C. B. PADGETT, La Plata, Md. 
‘From your Autumn King Cabbage Seed I have raised the finest Cabbages that I ever

saw. 
It is very tender and of fine flavor.” 
“«T have just sent a specimen of your Autumn King Cabbage to the Sioux City Corn 
Palace. It weighed 2714 pounds, and I will wager $100 that I can raise more pounds to the 
100 heads than any other grower can with any other variety. I have sold 200 heads to one 
man that averaged 2233 pounds to the head.”” J. W. KELLY, Sanborn, Iowa. 
“T raised upwards of 5,000 heads of Cabbage this season but found none that were equal 
to Henderson's Autumn King.” C. 8. BLACK, Traverse City, Minn. 
“Tt is a pleasure for me to state that in my Cabbage field this year Iput out nine differ- 
ent varieties, but your Autumn King produced the largest, soundest heads, and I consider it 
Jar superior in every particular to any Cabbage I have ever raised.” 
F. S. HALFORD, Honeoye Falls, N. J.

Editors Post :—We see in the Post of the 10th inst., 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 pounds. This is the Autumn King variety from 
Peter Henderson d& Co., 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, N. ¥. Lots of 36and 40 circum- 
JSerences and from 18 to 20 pounders. Respectfully,

PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH CABBAGE. An excellent standard 
late variety, developing rather earlier in the fall than most 
late sorts, and for that reason not quite so well adapted 
for winter use. It is largely grown as an early fall sort; is 
very tender and of superior flavor. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 4 lb.,
