XC Henderson’s Charleston Wakefield. 
[FIRST EARLY CABBAGE.—CONTINUED.] 
EXPRESS. Five years’ trials of this superior 
Cabbage have proved it to be the earliest in 
cultivation, and in this class cannot be excelled. 
While not so large as Jersey Wakefield, it is 
four or five days earlier. The heads are uni- 
form in size and shape, exceedingly solid and 
firm, and of a fine, mild flavor. Though the 
heads are small, large crops may be obtained, 
for they have but few outside leaves and may 
therefore be planted very close. (See cut.) 5c. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 Ib. 
EARLY FRENCH OXHEART. A favorite 
market variety. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., 
$2.00 lb. 
EARLY YORK. Very early; small, round, slightly heart- | 
shaped heads. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 lb. 
Second Early Cabbage. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER. This peerless Cab- 
bage was named and first offered for sale by us im 1874, and 
every year since we have used the utmost care in the selec- 
tion of heads for seed purposes, and haye so improved the 
variety that to-day we are selling a far better strain of the 
Early Summer than we sent out in the year of its introduc- 
tion. ‘This variety is about ten days later than the Jersey 
Wakefield, but being over double the size, it may be classed 
as the best second early Cabbage. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. 0z., 
80c. 14 lb.. $3 00-1b. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. About three weeks later than 
the early varieties. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 1b., $2.00 lb. 
FOTTLER’S IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. One of the 
very best. Heads large, flat, solid, and of gocd quality. 
Stem remarkably short, a sure header, and will stand long 
without cracking. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 Ib., $2.00 lb. 
LARGE EARLY YORK. A favorite variety, particularly | 
in the South. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., $2.00 Ib. 
ST. JOHN’S DAY EARLY DRUMHEAD. An early | 
variety, very dwarf, with medium-sized hard heads; about 
as early as the Winningstadt. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., 
$2.00 lb.

Henderson's Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 
ORIGINAL STOCK. 
The Standard Early Cabbage of America. 
Had Peter Henderson done 
nothing else but introduce 
Early Wakefield Cabbage, it 
would be a lasting monument 
to hisname. No better variety 
ts in cultivation to-day among 
First Early kinds.—CouNTRY 
GENTLEMAN, 
@ 
HIS variety was first brought 
into general notice by the late 
Mr. Peter Henderson, in his 
book, ‘‘Gardening for Profit,” 
when it was first published twenty- 
five years ago. Its merits and 
characteristics are now so well g————\——_ 
known as to hardly need repeating here; still, as our cata- 
logue annually falls into the hands of thousands who have 
not before seen it, we may state thatit is universally con- 
sidered the best early Cabbage in cultivation. Among its 
merits may be mentioned its large size of head for an early 
sort, small outside foliage, and its uniformity in producing 
acrop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted 
or rounded peak. 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 14 Ib., $3.00 Ib. 
THE CHARLESTON, ge 
OF WAKEFIELD. 
THE LARGEST AND BEST ‘‘FIRST EARLY ” CABBAGE. 
For some years past customers have requested us to 
procure for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the 
characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of a 
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 character 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 two or three days later. 
(See cut.) 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 14 Ib., $4.00 Ib.
