HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



CABBAGE 



LATE or WINTER 

 VARIETIES 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF 



Danish Ballhead or Holland 



Short Stem 



When this type of Cabbage first appeared we foresaw its 

 popularity, and took pains to secure samples of the various 

 types. After exhaustive trials we decided to grow from one 

 strain only, and the success that has come to all who have 

 grown it, proves the wisdom of our selection. The plant is 

 strong, erect, stands well, and heads up evenly. The trimmed 

 head is almost round, and has more weight for its size than 

 any other sort. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 50c, 34 lb. $1.50, 

 lb." $5.00. 



Autumn King, Henderson's. J his \ s one of the 



finest late varieties 

 grown. The head is of great size and differs from other large 

 sorts in shape, being almost round. Its keeping quality is 

 remarkable, coming out of the pit in spring as clean and bright 

 as when put away in the fall. (Crop failed.) 



Late Flat Dutch, Henderson's Selected. 



Our improved highly bred strain of this old favorite Cabbage 

 will be found very superior. It produces very large, round, 

 flattened heads, very uniform, is, firm and hard, a reliable 

 header even under unfavorable conditions, and is esteemed one 

 of the best late fall and winter Cabbages; it is a good keeper 

 and shipper, its attractive appearance and fine quality make 

 it one of the best sellers. Price, oz. 50c, \i lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 



"I harvested Iwenly-six tons per acre of Henderson's Danish Ball 

 Head Cabbage from seed purchased of you. Two years ago I did 

 not hare quite enough plants from your seeds, and I purchased some 

 plants of others with the result that I had a lot of cabbage, not Danish, 

 that would not keep. 1 have used your seeds for twelve years and 

 would nol.change." CHAS. E. ROGERS. Middleboro, Mass.

Cool weather is re- 

 quired for best re- 

 sults, and where the summers are cool, sow seed in 

 early spring. In the latitude of New York, sow seed 

 about the middle, of June, earlier if further North 

 and later if further South. Sow in the open ground 

 as the plants are liable to a set-back if transplanted. 

 Sow in rows eighteen inches apart, and cover seed 

 one-half inch deep. When the plants are about 

 three inches high thin out to stand fifteen inches 

 apart in the rows. Cultivate same as Cabbage. It re- 

 quires 120 days from seed sowing to mature the plants.
