and of the finest quality. Itis probably the safest variety for an 
amateur to plant as it does well at all seasons, and one is sure of 
getting a crop no matter when it is planted. Our stocks of cabbage 
of all varieties have for years been the acknowledged standard of 
excellence in this country, and when we state that we consider 
Succession to be the most valuable variety that we have ever in- 
troduced, our opinion of its great merit will be apparent to all. We 
could fill many pages of our catalogue with unsolicited flattering 
testimonials that we have received from all sections of the country 
in regard to its great excellence, but space only permits us to give 
afew of them below. Price, 10c. per pkt., 40c. per oz,, $1,25 per 4 
lb., $4.00 per lb. 
On the plate opposite we display what we consider one of our 
most valuable contributions to horticulture, the Succession 
Cabbage. It would be classed as asecond early variety, coming in a 
few days later than Early Summer, but itis immeasurably superior 
to that variety ; it is of nearly double the size and is absolutely true 
to its type under all conditions. In addition to this, it has no 
tendency whatever to run to seed. We can say without exaggera- 
tion that it is the finest cabbage in existence to-day; whether for 
medium early, main crop or late use, it has no equal. It is so finely 
bred and so true to type that in a field of twenty acres every head 
appears alike. We can recommend it either for the market gar- 
deuner, trucker or private planter, as itis a perfect cabbagein every 
respect, not only being of the largest size but of handsome color 
I sowed Henderson's Succession Cabbage 
seed between the 10th and 15th of July, planted 
out about Aug. 15, had one good rain after 
plunting and had no other rain to amount to 
anything till November ; we had one of the 
worst droughts Ievereaperienced. Harvested 
a good crop about the 25th November, while 
my neighbors who planted before me did not 
get one dozen heads from two acres.—

This peerless variety, although only re- 
cently introduced, is becoming so well known 
and so much sought after that dealers every- 
where are offering the ‘Succession Cab- 
bage.” We desire to warn our customers 
against all such, unless the seed is in our 
original packages and are sealed with our 
red trade-mark label. This is of vital im- 
portance, as many inferior stocks of Cabbage 
are being offered under the name of ‘‘Suc- 
Please send me one-half pound of Hender- 
son's Succession Cabbage seed—the finest 
Cabbage, in my humble opinion, inthe world; 
they surpassed everything on my pluce this 
spring; nearly every plant made a beautiful 
head and as early as your famed Early 
Summer.—A. LEMONY, Mobile, Ala. 
The Succession Cabbage is very fine. I 
took the first premium at our county fair

Your Succession Cabbage is by far the best cabbage I ever raised. I have

HENDERSON'S HEROINE PEA, 
(Illustrated on the opposite plate.) 
‘‘We Much Prefer the Heroine.’’ ‘“The Choice of all harge~Podded, Wrinkled Peas.’ 
‘Peas LARGE, OFTEN 10 TO A POD AND VERY PROLIFIC.” 
‘‘Heroine Pea is a Marvel—Fairly Melting in Your Mouth for Sweetness.” 
(The above are extracts from letters we have received akout the Heroine Pca.) 
There have been so many new varieties of Peas offered by seeds- 
men in the last few years that planters have become somewhat 
skeptical of the merits of new aspirants for public favor, but the 
Heroine has been a conspicuous ex eption. 
«American Wonder” 
Every one who sees it wants it—seedsman, 
market gardener and amateur; in fact, we refused orders from 
dealers for hundreds of bushels last fallin order to have enough 
stock for our own retail trade this spring. Itis as far superior to 
all other varieties of Peas as the Ponderosa Tomato is to all other 
since the introduction of 
such a sensation.

high and is literally covered with its long, heavy, pointed pods— 
in fact, so striking and distinct is this variety that it would be 
picked out at once in a field of one hundred other varieties. On 
the opposite plate we show the size and form of the peas, which 
come eight to nine ina pod. The quality of this peais simply per- 
feetion—that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the peas 
grown in the gardens of Old England are celebrated.
