HENDERSON'S 



Original Early Jersey Wakefield. 



THE BEST FIRST EARLY CABBAGE. 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late 

 Peter Henderson still holds its undisputed lead as the best 

 extra early variety in cultivation, and is more largely grown 

 than all other First Early Cabbages combined. It is the good 

 old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earli- 

 ness and crop. It has a good sized head for so early a variety 

 and the small outside leaves allow it to be closely planted; 

 the heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded 

 peak. We have the original stock, well selected, and it has 

 no equal. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 \ lb., $3.60 

 lb. 



"/ have been growing your Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage for a number of 

 years and think it my duly to tell you about it. It takes the lead in Early Cabbage 

 in this part of the country. I present you with a photo of my field."

HENDERSON'S 



Charleston or Large Wakefield, 



THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE. 



Several years ago, our customers requested us to procure 

 for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character- 

 istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size. With 

 this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks 

 of Wakefield a larger type, which is so fixed in its character 

 that it is now largely grown by those desiring a Cabbage of 

 this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent larger 

 in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a few days 

 later. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 | lb., $3.50 lb. 



" Your Charleston Wakefield is one of the best and largest Early Cabbages I 

 ever grew." AARON GRUBB, Palmyra. Pa. 



" Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing 8 

 10 and 12 lbs. as solid as a rock. Out of 800 only 20 failed to head; it seems to 

 be a cabbage of great vitality, and the worms and lice damage it but little." 



O. B. STAUFFER, Rocky Ford, Colo. 



hendekson-s E ar j y Spring Cabbage 



A ROUND FLAT-HEADED, EXTRA EARLY. 

 Coming in with the Large Wakefield and Yielding One-third 

 More than any other Extra Early 



This is the first early flat Cabbage, and is the most popular 

 for early market wherever grown, the flat shape giving it an 

 advantage over the conical shaped sorts. It is of the early 

 Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller; it has a short stem 

 and only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it 

 may be planted twenty-one inches apart; 13,500 to the acre. 

 It is ready fully a week earlier than any sort like it, and being 

 flat, its value can readily be appreciated. It is a sure, solid 

 header, always producing a crop of large, uniform heads which 

 seldom burst. It is extensively grown in all sections of the 

 country, and is everywhere successful. It has the peculiarity 

 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. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 

 oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.50 lb. 



" / planted last March about % of an acre of your Early Flat Head (Spring) 

 Cabbage, which I raised under glass. The result was more satisfactory than any 

 other variety I have ever cultivated." M. E. HARDY, Chase City, Va. 



New Early Market Cabbage. 



THE BEST EARLY ROUND-HEADED CABBAGE 



This Danish production represents the highest achievement 

 in Cabbage breeding, and is the best early round-headed Cabbage 

 we have ever grown or seen. In uniformity to type and even- 

 ness in early maturing it is a marvel. Every row and every 

 head in a row look as nearly alike as if all had been turned out 

 of a mold. Its evenness in maturing will in itself prove a 

 recommendation to our customers as they will easily see the 

 great importance of being able to clear off the ground at one 

 cutting, especially where room is required for a second crop. 

 The plants are of compact stocky growth, short-stemmed with 

 small in-folding outer leaves enclosing large solid ball-shaped 

 heads which average about ten pounds in weight, and are of the 

 finest quality, smooth with fine veins and small core. New 

 Early Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our 

 Early Wakefield. Can be planted as close as Early Spring 

 (21 inches apart) and will yield a greater crop per acre than 

 any other early Cabbage of which we know. For marketing 

 we predict this Cabbage has a great future. Its remarkably 

 fine quality and tenderness whether cooked or sliced for slaw 

 or salad will win friends wherever tried, and its handsome sal- 

 able appearance and uniformity in maturing the crop will cause 

 it to be in great demand. (See cut). (Very short crop). Price, 

 10c. pkt.
