HENDERSON'S AUTUMN KING CABBAGE. 
The Finest of all Winter Cabbages. 
HERE is no vegetable that is harder to introduce into general cultivation than a new variety of Cabbage, for the reason that it is 
probably the most important of all garden crops, so that planters are always slow to take hold of a new variety, preferring to 
use the old standard sorts on which they have depended for years. Hence it is that this peerless variety, which we introduced four 
years ago, is Just now coming into general use. We would say without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage in this country 
to-day, occupying the same position among late Cabbages as the Jersey Wakefield and Succession do in their respective classes. The 
AUTUMN KING is an entirely distinct variety, and the best keeperwe 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 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 ofits 
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 distinguished anywhere. We are sorry to find that some other seedsmen are offering 
this same stock of Cabbage under the name of ‘- World Beater.” In our Trial Grounds last season, we had samples of the 
AUTUMN KiNG 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 introduction of this, the grandest of all winter 
Cabhages. The engraving gives a good idea of its appearance.

WHAT THOSE WHO HAVE GROWN 
From your Autumn King Cabbage Seed I 
have raised the finest Cabbages that I ever saw. | 
Some of the heads (after cleared off ready for 
market) weighed 19 lbs. in September. Itis very 
tender and of fine flavor.—JI. 8, BORNE, Ritchie, 
Va. 
Thave just sent a specimen of your Autumn 
King Cabbage to the Sioux City Corn Palace. 
Tt weighed 2714 pounds, and I will wager $100 
that Icun raise more pounds to the 100 heads 
than any other grower can with any other va- 
riety. JI have sold 200 heads to one man, that 
averaged 2214 lbs. to the head.—J. W. KELLY, 
Sanborn, Iowa. | 
Traised upwards of 5,000 heads of Cabbage | 
this season but found none that were equal to | 
Henderson's Autumn King.—C. 8S. Buack, 
Traverse City, Minn. 
A Big Preston Co, Cabbage.
