HENDERSON'S 



AUTUMN KING CABBAGE 



The King of all Winter Cabbages 



The Best Keeper; The Largest; Enormous Solid Heads 



often 20 to 30 lbs. each. Interior Crisp, Close, 



Fine=Grained and White. 



This peerless variety was introduced by us, and we can say 

 without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage in this 

 country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it pro- 

 duces enormous solid heads of that desirable dull green shade. 

 It has such small outer leaves that it can be planted closer than 

 the ordinary late sorts ; for this reason it can be relied upon to 

 produce a greater weight per acre than any other variety. A dis- 

 tinctive feature of the Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped 

 leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enable it to be 

 distinguished anywhere. But, however good a variety may be at 

 its introduction, it is of paramount importance that improve- 

 ment in purity be steadily maintained. To this end we have for 

 many years worked most assiduously on our stock of this valu- 

 able variety, and it is only fair to say that our stock as it is sold 

 to-day is more of a "King" than ever. 



It has successfully stood the most severe of all tests, the com- 

 petition of the market stand, and is prized and relied on by 

 prominent growers in all sections of the country. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 J lb., $3.25 lb. 



"Your Autumn King Cabbage I have raised for 14 years and found none other 

 equal; it is the best late cabbage I have ever tried and also a good keeper." 



G. XV. SPANGLER, Voltair, Pa. 

 "I have been growing Cabbage for over 20 years and I find your Autumn King 

 the best I ever had." GEO. W. BROWN, Augusta Springs, Va. 



"I have planted your Autumn King Cabbage for several years; it excels all other 

 aorta. A large proportion of my crop averaged over 25 lbs. per head." 



R. W. READ, Sherando, Vo. 

 "For your Autumn King Cabbage I cannot say too muck in its praise '„s to 

 productiveness, quality and keeping qualities." 



F. P. BLANCHARD, Sanford Corner, Me.

 AUTUMN KING,

 Winter Cabbages 



Henderson's Superior Strain of 



Danish Ball Head 



or Holland Cabbage 



This type of winter Cabbage has become very 

 popular of late years on account of its unequalled 

 keeping qualities as well as for the great solidity 

 and weight of the heads ; it is strong and vigorous 

 in growth, a little "leggy" but producing large, 

 round, compact heads exceedingly hard and solid, 

 weighing, when trimmed, fully one-fourth more than 

 any other Cabbage of equal size; in consequence, it 

 keeps in fine condition until spring. For boiling, slaw, 

 sauerkraut, etc., it is unsurpassed, being crisp, tender 

 and sweet. It seems to grow luxuriantly on all soils and 

 under most conditions, withstanding hot, dry weather, 

 and does not rot from the effects of wet seasons, and the 

 heads do not burst. Our strain of Danish Ball Head Cab- 

 bage yields a larger number of solid heads than any other 

 variety. This is the testimony of almost every large grower of 

 winter Cabbage. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. \ lb., $3.00 lb.
