HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late Peter 

 Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best extra-early 

 pointed-head Cabbage, and is more largely grown than all other 

 first-early Cabbages combined. It is the good, old reliable: and 

 may be depended upon for uniformity in earliness and crop. The 

 head is large enough for so early a variety and the small outside 

 leaves enable it to be planted closely; the heads are pyramidal in 

 shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. It is beyond question the 

 best variety for spring and early summer in the private garden. 

 Its first appearance brings a welcome change from the hard-headed 

 winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield is attractive in appearance 

 and essentially good in quality. 



It has a delicacy of flavor rarely associated with Cabbage, and 

 properly cooked may be made one of the most palatable and appe- 

 tizing dishes, and worthy of a place on any table. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 85c. oz., $3.20 }i lb., $12.00 lb. 



"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No 

 better variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds." — Country 

 Gentleman. 



"7 think your seeds are splendid and the best we ever planted. Our 

 Wakefield cabbages last year were splendid, all headed up fine, which 

 surprised me, as the seasons here are so short, and neighbors said we would 

 not have any cabbage at all. We sold cabbages later to those who said so." 

 Mrs. GRACE JENSON, Island Pond, Vt. 



HENDERSON'S 



Charleston Wakefield 



Second-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



The pointed-head Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat kinds. 

 When used fresh from the garden they are of excellent quality, 

 quite free from the coarse rankness so commonly associated with 

 Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston Wakefield is larger, but fully 

 equal in quality to any of its class and admirably suited to succeed 

 the very early sorts. Price, 10c. pkt., 85c. oz., $3.20 J4 lb., 

 $12.00 lb. 



"Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing 

 8, 10 and 12 lbs., as solid as a reck." 



O. B. STA UFFER, Rocky Ford, Colo. 



"I tried your Early Spring Cabbage last year, and I think it deserves a 

 better recommendation than you give it in your catalogue." 



D. J. DARKES, 



Fredericksburg, Pa. 



"I tried Henderson's Early Spring last year for the first time and I must 

 say it fills a place we have so long wanted a Cabbage for. The leaves are so 

 small you can plant it 18 inches apart. The head is very early, very hard and 

 small to medium in size, and is ideal for the housewife." 



Dr. E. A. LEE,

HENDERSON'S 



Early Spring Cabbage 



The only Extra-Early Round Flat-Headed Cabbage. 

 Every Head as uniform as if moulded, and remarkably solid even when young. 

 Few and small outside leaves. Small Veins. Fine Texture and Delicate Flavor. 



Its great value lies in its being a First-Early Flat Cabbage, a type 

 much preferred over pointed heads by many people. It is of the Early 

 Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, and has only four to five out- 

 side leaves, and these so small that it may be planted 21 inches apart, 

 13,500 to the acre. Remembering that this is a first-early flat variety, 

 the shape that is so popular on all markets, and that it is ready fully a 

 week earlier than any sort like it, its value can be readily appreciated. 

 The stem is short, making almost the whole plant edible. It is finely 

 bred, the veining of the leaves being particularly fine. There is no 

 Cabbage we know of having a more solid head ; it has also the peculiar- 

 ity 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. Its shape and large yield per acre make it particularly 

 valuable for truckers, and its good quality will render it the finest early 

 flat-headed Cabbage for private gardens. (See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.60 M lb., $6.00 lb.
