GABBAGCS 



Henderson's Early Summer. 



A Very Early, Large Heading Cabbage. 



Heads large, flat or slightly conical, and they keep 



longer without bursting than most of the early sorts. 



Valuable for both family and market. Thi.s may be called an improve- 

 ment on the Newark Flat Dutch, which it has superseded. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 2.5c; 3^ Lb. 40c; Lb. $1..50 



ALL HEAD EARLY, a variety in which the plants are more 

 compact, the leaf smoother and thicker and the heads rounder, harder 

 and more uniform in shape than the Early Summer. Certainly a good 

 variety vrhich promises to become 

 very popular. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 

 2 Oz. 25c; h Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



§=. TW wy I "V' r\ W1 J\ r> p= continued experience confirms our belief that 

 LjrXw^ L* 1 L^ w T r^ 1^ I t^is is the best early round headed sort. The 

 F I J\ T B~l I 1 T #^ H plants are short stemmed and upright with 



i i-*rlL I M^ %^ I V7 1 I comparatively few and short leaves, so 



that they can be planted closely. Heads large, sohd, maturing as early as Early Sum- 

 mer, and stand long without bursting. 



Every plant will form a hard head fit for market 

 as early as the earliest of the round heading cab= 

 bages, and as large and solid as the winter kinds. 

 Our stock should not be confounded with the inferior later stocks frequently 

 offered under this name. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; J^ Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



Early Dwarf Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



Early Winnigstadt Cabbage. 



Early Winnigstadt 



One of the best for general use, being very hardy and sure to head, 

 fomiing a hard head under circumstances where most sorts wotild 

 fail, ancl those who have failed with other kinds can hope to succeed 

 with this. It seems to suffer less from the cabbage worm than any 

 other sort. Plant very compact, with short, thick leaves. Hea(£ 

 regular, conical, very hard, and keep well both summer and winter. 



It is the hardiest, not only as regards frost, 

 but will suffer less from excessive wet, 

 drought, insects or disease, than any other 

 second early sort, and will give a fair crop of 

 heads when others fail.

All Seasons 



This is the sort generally grown on 

 Long Island for the New York mar- 

 ket. Heads very large, round, often 

 nearly spherical, but usually somewhat flattened: verj- soUd and of the best qual- 

 ity, keeping as well as the winter sorts. Plants verj' vigorous and sure heading; 

 leaves large, smooth, wiUi dense bloom. Remarkable for its ability to stand the 

 hot sun and dry weather. Ovu" trial has shown that heads which were fit for 

 market by July ioth were still salable September 10th, the only change being in- 

 creased size and density. One of the verv best sorts for general cultivation. 

 Inferior strains of this sort are often sold under the name of Vandergaw, etc.
