Late or Winter Cabbages. 
HENDERSON’S SELECTED LATE FLAT DUTCH. 
This will be found one of the most satisfactory stocks 
of late Cabbage. We have for years beenselecting and 
improving this old favorite, and for this purpose we 
have, each year, carefully selected the largest and best 
heads, and now we consider it superior to any other 
strain of this deservedly popular Cabbage. (See cut.) 
Price, 5¢. pkt., 20c. oz., 70c. 14 Ib., $2.50 Ib. 
PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. An excellent standard 
Jate variety, developing rather earlier in the fall than 
most late sorts, and for that reason not quite so well 
adapted for winter use. Itis largely grown as an early 
fall sort; is very tender, and of superior flavor. 5ce. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 lb., $2.00 1b. 
HENDERSON’S AUTUMN KING. We would say 
without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage 
in this country to-day, occupying the same position 
among late Cabbages that the Jersey Wakefield and 
Succession do in their respective classes. The AUTUMN 
Kine is an entirely distinct variety, and the best keeper 
we have ever seen; it produces enormous, solid heads 
of that dark shade of green that is most desirable in a 
Cabbage, and has such small outerleaves 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 ‘is- 
tinguished anywhere. We aresorry to 
_ find that some other seedsmen are offer- { 
ing this same stock of Cabbage under 
- the name of ‘World Beater.” In cur 
Trial Grounds last season, we had sam- 
“ples of the AuruMN Kine and the 
‘World Beater” side by side, and they 
' proved to be identical. As we sent the 
AUTUMN KING out four years ago and 
the ‘‘World Beater” was only offered 
last year, we claim the credit of the in- 
troduction of this, the grandest of all 
winter Cabbages. The engraving gives 
a good idea of its appearance. (See 
large cul and testimonials on page 17.) %

RED DUTCH. Used almost exclusively for

‘‘Gardening for Profit” will keep later in the 
season thanany of them. Itis slow to ma-

Savoy Cabbage. 
We desire to call special attention to this class, all of the vari- 
eties enumerated below being of much finer flavor and quality 
than the best of other Cabbages. They are particularly adapted 
for private use, where quality rather than quantity is desired. 
Grown in fall and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one of the 
most delicious of all vegetables. 
NETTED SAVOY. This is the finest of the Savoy class, and a 
general favorite. Heads large, very solid and compact, of a 
yellowish green color, and, like all other of the Savoy varieties, 
is of excellent flavor, far surpassing that of any other late 
Cabbage. 5 cts. pkt., 25 cts. oz., 75 cts. 14 lb., $2.50 Ib. 
MIDSUMMER SAVOY. Very distinct, being but little later 
than the Dwarf Ulm Savoy, and producing heads of double the 
size; beautifully netted, and of a delicate light green. 5c¢. pkt., 
20c. oz., 60c. 14 Ib., $2.00 lb.
