PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—VEGETABLE SEEDS FOR 
- - HENDERSON'S = - 
“EARLY SPRING” CABBAGE. 
A New Extra Early Cabbage, with a Round Flat Head, 
coming in with the Wakefield. 
FALL SOWING. 59 
The most valuable early Cabbage ever introduced. The variety is of 
Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having only four or five 
outside leaves, and these so small, and growing so near to the head, that 
it may be successfully‘planted twenty-one inches apart, as close as any 
variety we know of. Butits great value lies in the fact that itis 
the only first Early Flat Cabbage. It possesses wonderful uni- 
jiormity in shape, being round, slightly flattened at top of head. Stem is 
short and extends but little into the head; this feature is valuable, as it 
makes almost the entire head edible. The veining of the leaves is par- 
ticularly fine, in which respect it shows its finely bred character, being 
entirely free from any coarseness whatever. There is no Cabbage we 
know of having a more solid head; but, added to this, it has the pecul- 
iarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth,so that the finest 
Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has attained its 
mature size. It is entirely free from any rankness of flavor. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S NEW ‘‘ EARLY SPRING’? CABBAGE. 
- = HENDERSON’S - - 
Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 
ORIGINAL STOCK. THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE. 
The merits and characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield Cab- 
bage are nowso well known as to hardly need repeating here; stillas our 
catalogue annually falls into the hands of thousands who have not before 
seen it, we may state that it is universally considered the best early Cab- 
bagein cultivation. Among its merits may be mentioned its largesize of 
head for an early sort, small outside foliage, andits uniformity in producing 
acrop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded 
peak. Our seed of this famous Cabbage is very choice, being saved from 
selected fine hard heads. (See cut.)

‘*Had Peter Henderson donenothing else but introduce the Early Wake- 
field Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No better 
variety is in cultivation to-day among theearly kinds.’’—Country Gentle- 
man, 
OR LARGE TYPE 
THE CHARLESTO OF WAKEFIELD. 
For some years past customers have requested us to procure for them, 
if possible, a Cabbage which had all the characteristics of the Karly Jersey 
Wakefield, but of a greater size. With thisin 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. Price, 10c. per pkt., 40c. per 0z., $1.25 per41b., $3.50 per lb.

Henderson’s Succession Cabbage. 
IS POSITIVELY THE 
FINEST CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE, 
Whether for Medium Early, Main Crop or Winter use. 
PERFECT in every respect. 
The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valu- 
able contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a 
second early, coming in a few days later than Early Summer, 
but it is immeasurably superior to thatvariety ; itis of nearly 
double the size and is absolutely true to itstype under all con- 
ditions. In addition to this, it has no tendency whatever to 
run to seed. Wecansay without exaggeration that it is the 
finest Cabbage in existence to-day; whether formediumearly, 
main crop orlate useithas no equal. Itisso finely bred and 
so true to type thatin a field of twenty acres every head ap- 
pears alike. Wecan recommend it either for the market gar- 
dener, trucker or private planter, asit is a perfect cabbage in 
every respect, not only being of the largest size, but of hand- 
some color and of the finest quality. Itis probably the safest 
variety for an amateur to plant, as it does well at allseasons, 
and one is almost sure of getting a crop, no matter when it is 
planted. Our stocks of Cabbage of allvarieties havefor years 
been the acknowledged standard ofexcellence in this country, 
and when we state that we consider Succession to be the 
most valuable variety that we have ever introduced, our 
opinion ofits great merit will be apparent to all. (See cut.)
