SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS 



FOR FALL SOWING. 



The list of Vegetable Seeds here given has been made much more full and complete than we usually offer in an autumn catalogue. 

 This is for the convenience of our customers in the extreme Southern States, whose planting season is so much earlier than ours that 

 it will not permit them to await the receipt of our general Catalogue of "Everything for the Garden," which is issued about 

 the ist of January. 



//' by mail, in quantities of J^ pound and upwards, postage must be added at the rate of 8 cent* per pound or i 5 cents per quart 

 for Beans and Peas. 



"THE CHARLESTON" or Large Type of Wakefield. 



The Largest and Best "First Early" Cabbage. 



yor some years past customers of ours in the south have re- 

 quested us to procure for them, if possible, a Cabbage which 

 had all the characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but 

 of a greater size. With this in 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 confid- 

 ence to truckers desiring a cabbage of this kind, as will be seen 

 by the cut, 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. (Stock limited.) (See Cut.) Price, 15c. per pkt.; 

 60c. per oz. ; $2.00 per % lb. ; $7.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



Handsome, Large and a Sure Header, 



It is now four years since we first offered Henderson's 

 Succession Cabbage, and in that time it has probably been 

 more thoroughly and critically tested than any other variety. 

 The Succession is only a few days later than the Early Sum- 

 mer, but is double the size, and is so finely bred that in a field 

 of ten acres every head was a magnificent, perfect specimen, fit 

 for exhibition purposes. Despite the low prices realized bv 

 the cabbage crop last season, the Succession brought paying 

 prices wherever grown, and may well be regarded as a boon to 

 the gardening community. (See Cut ) Price, 15c. pkt.; 50c. 

 oz.; $1.75 % lb.; $6. 00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S AUTUMN KING. 



We believe this to be the finest strain of late Cabbage extant. It produces regular, even heads of enormous size, and can be 

 relied upon to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other late sort, from the fact of its producing so few outer leaves 

 and going all to head. The "Autumn King" Cabbage has now received a most thorough trial and has given the higest satisfaction. 

 Price, 15c. per pkt. ; 50c. per oz. ; $1.75 per % lb. ; $6 - oo per lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



The Earliest. The Surest Header. The Most Profitable. 



The Best Variety for Either Market or Family Gardens. 



Whether intended for private use or to be grown for market, Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower is superior 

 to all others. First, because it is the earliest of all Cauliflowers, as has been conclusively shown season after season, since 

 we first made its merits known; second, because under the conditions of an ordinarily favorable season, nearlv every plant wili 

 form a perfect snow-white head, averaging nine inches in diameter: third, for the reason that its close-growing, compact habit enables 

 one-third more to be planted on the same space of ground than can be done with any other variety. For forcing under glass dur- 

 ing winter and spring, this Early Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, 

 and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. It also does equally well for late planting.
