" We set oiii 36 acres of your Early Spring Cab- 

 bage in December. In February we had the severest 

 freeze this section has ever experienced, lasting ten 



days, with thermometer several times below zero. 

 This cold weather killed the entire crop of Fla. 

 La., and nearly all of N. C. and S. C., yet the 

 Early Spring putlid through without protection 

 of any kind, and I cheerfully recommend Hender- 

 son's Early Spring Cabbage as the surest money 

 maker for the Southern trucker." 



WM. C. GERATY, Youngs Island. S. C. 



" We never had such grand Cabbage as your 

 Early Spring. It sells well. It lasted from spring 

 till early fall without bursting. Storekeepers 

 came after it and could not get enough."

HENDERSON'S 



Early Spring Cabbage 



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; 

 it has a short stem and only four to five out- 

 ride leaves, and these so small that it may 

 be planted twenty-one 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. 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 pronounced a great success. 

 Every trucker will do well to give this a thor- 

 ough trial. 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 peculiarity of heading 

 firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that 

 the finest Cabbage, though small, can be ob- 

 tained long before it has attained its mature 

 size. Its shape and large yield per acre make 

 it particularly valuable for truckers. (See cut.) 

 35c. oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.50 lb. 



" Your Early Spring Cabbage is all you claim, the very 

 b -st very early cabbage I have planted in twenty years, every 

 oie heading fine, notwithstanding they were cut down with 

 ihetlate frost. All my customers say, ' bring me some more 

 early spring cabbage.
