HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



HENDERSON'S SECOND-EARLY 

 POINTED HEAD CABBAGE 



Charleston Wakefield 



(Introduced by Peter Hendersoyi &° Co. in i8g2.) 



Years before its introduction by us in 1892, we began 

 selecting this variety in response to a demand for a 

 heavier and larger pointed head cabbage than our 

 original Early Jersey Wakefield. 



Charleston Wakefield, as we named it, is the very best 

 stock of pointed head cabbage grown to-day in every 

 respect, except that it matures about a week later than 

 Early Jersey Wakefield. Th'e heads are twice as large 

 as its parent stock, weighing from 8 to 12 lbs. or more 

 each head. 



Charleston Wakefield is being used more and more by 

 market gardeners to follow Jersey Wakefield, as it is a 

 first rate shipping variety, Charleston Wakefield is a 

 very good keeper, and may also be planted as a second 

 crop to be ready for the market in autumn if desired.

HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL EARLY JERSEY 



Wakefield Cabbage 



(Introduced by Peter Henderson &= Co. in i868.) 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the 

 late Peter Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as 

 the best extra-early pointed-head Cabbage, and is more 

 largely grown than all other first-early Cabbages 

 combined. It is a good, old reliable; and may be 

 depended upon for uniformity in earliness and crop. 

 The head is large enough for so early a variety and the 

 small outside leaves enable it to be planted closely; 

 the heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted 

 or rounded peak. It is beyond question the best 

 variety for spring and early summer. Its first appear- 

 ance brings a welcome change from the hard-headed 

 winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield is attractive 



in appearance and essentially good in quality. It has a delicacy of flavor 

 rarely associated with Cabbage, and properly cooked may be made one of 

 the most palatable and appetizing dishes, and worthy of a place on any 

 table. Price, 45c. oz., $1.25 H lb., $4.00 lb. 



Henderson's Early Summer Cabbage 



(Introduced by Peter Henderson &> Co. in iS~4.) 



The Best Second Early Cabbage. Large, Round Flat Heads, 8 to 10 



pounds each. 



This peerless variety was named and introduced by 

 us years ago; it is widely known and largely grown. 

 As an ideal second early Cabbage it still holds the 

 palm. It forms large, flat, round, solid heads, weigh 

 ing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each, though with rich cultiva 

 tion it often gives 10 to 12 lb. heads. 



The quality is excellent, tender and crisp. It 

 comes in about ten days later than Early Jersey 

 Wakefield and fills the gap between it and Succes- 

 sion perfectly. We exercise the greatest care every 

 year in breeding and selecting this variety for seed 

 purposes, so that Henderson's Early Summer of to- 

 day will be found a far better sort than when we orig- 

 inally offered it. It trims up neatly and looks well on 

 the load and on the stand. {See engraving.) Price, 

 45c. oz., $1.25 li lb., $4.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF 



Danish Ballhead 



or 



Holland Cabbage 



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 de- 

 cided 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. {Sec engraving.) Price, 40c.
