HENDERSON'S CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD. 



" THE CHARLESTON," op Large Type of OJakefield. 



The Ltargest and best " First Early" Cabbage. 



For some years past customers of ours in the South 

 have requested 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 confidence 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. (See cut.) Price, 10c. per pkt. ; 40c. 

 per oz. ; $1.25 per J^ lb. ; $4.00 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



The Earliest. The Surest Header. The iVIost 



Profitable. The Best Variety for Either 



fflarket 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 lias been conclusively shown, season 

 after season, since we first made its merits known ; second, 

 because, under the conditions of an ordinary favorable 

 season, nearly every plant will 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 during winter and spring, this Early Snow- 

 ball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from its dwarf 

 growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no 

 o: her Cauliflower is now so largely grown. It also does 

 equally well for late planting. 25c. per pkt. ; $4.00 per 

 oz. ; $14.00 per % lb.

Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



I1RNDSOJHE, LiRRGE, 



h.j4d r sore j4erdei?. 

 Hendekson's Succession Cabbage 

 has probably been more thoroughly and 

 critically tested than any other variety. 

 It is only a few days later than the Early 

 Summer, 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 by the 

 cabbage crop last season, the Succession 

 brought paying prices wherever grown, 

 and may well be regarded as a boon to 

 the gardening community. Price, 10c. 

 per pkt. ; 40c. per oz. ; $1.20 per % lb. ; 

 $3.50 per lb. 



HENDERSON'S AUTUMN KING. 



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. Price, 10c. per pkt., 

 40c. per oz. ; $1.25 per y A lb. ; $3.50 per lb.
