"Early Spring " Cabbage. 



A New Extra Early Cabbage, with a Round Flat Head, 

 coming in with the Wakefield. 



The most valuable early Cabbage ever introduced. The variety is of 

 Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having only four or five 

 outside leaves, and these so small, and growing so near to the head, that 

 It may be successfully planted twenty-one inches apart, as close as any 

 variety we know of. But its great value lies in the fact that it is 

 the only first Early Flat Cabbage. It possesses wonderful uni- 

 formity in shape, being round, slightly flattened at top of head. Stem is 

 short and extends but little into the head ; this feature is valuable, as it 

 makes almost the entire head edible. The veining of the leaves is par- 

 ticularly fine, in which reppeet it shows its finely bred character, being 

 entirely free from any coarseness whatever. There is no Cabbage we 

 know of having a more solid head ; but, added to this, it has the pecul- 

 iarity 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. It is entirely free from any rankness of flavor. {See cut.)

HENDERSON'S NEW "EARLY SPRING" CABBAGE. 



- = HENDERSON'S = 



Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 



ORIGINAL STOCK. 



THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON S EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



The merits and characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield Cab- 

 bage are nowsowell known as to hardly need repeating here; still asour 

 catalogue annually falls iuto the hands of thousands who havenot before 

 seen it, we may state that it is universally considered the best early Cab- 

 bage in cultivation. Among its merits may be mentioned its large size of 

 head for an early sort, small outside foliage, and its uniformity in pro- 

 ducing a crop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or 

 rounded peak. Our seed of this famous Cabbage is very choice, being 

 saved from selected fine hard heads. (See cut.) Price, 5c. per pkt., 25c. 

 per oz., 80c. per % lb., $2.75 per lb. 



"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early 

 Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to Iks name. No 

 better variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds." — Country 

 Gentleman. 



OR LARGE TYPE 



OF WAKEFIELD. 



For some years past customers 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 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 two or three 

 days later. Price, 10c. per pkt., 35c. per oz.. $1.00 per % lb ,$3.50 per lb. 



THE CHARLESTON 



Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



IS POSITIVELY THE 



FINEST CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE, 



Whether for Medium Early, Mala Crop or Winter use. 

 PERFECT la every respect. 



The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valu- 

 able contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a 

 second early, coming in a few days later than Early Summer, 

 but it is immeasurably superior to that variety; it is of nearly 

 double thesizeand is absolutely true to its type under allcon- 

 ditions. In addition to this, it has no tendency whatever to 

 run to seed. We can say without exaggeration that it is the 

 finest Cabbage in existence to-day; whether for medium early, 

 main crop orlateuseit has no equal. It is so finely bred and 

 so true to type that in a field of twenty acres every head ap- 

 pears alike. We can recommend it either for the market gar- 

 dener, trucker or private planter, as it is a perfect cabbage in 

 every respect, not only being of the largest size, but of hand- 

 some color and of the finest quality. Itisprobably the safest 

 varietyfor an amateur to plant, as it does well at all seasons, 

 and one is almost sure of getting a crop, no matter when it is 

 planted. Our stocksof Cabbageof all varietieshave for years 

 been the acknowledged standard of excellence in this country, 

 and when we state that we consider Succession to be the 

 most valuable variety that we have ever introduced, our 

 opinion of its great merit will be apparent to all. (See cut.)
