H ENDERSON'S "gARLY ft PRINQ" 

 £ABBAQE, 



R fieux 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 riat 

 abbag'e. It possesses wonderful uniformity 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 particularly fine, in which respect 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 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. It is entirely free 

 from any rankness of flavor. {See cut.) Price, 20c. per pkt., $1.50 per oz., $5.00

This peerless variety we introduced, and we will say 

 without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage 

 in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best 

 keeper ; it produces enormous, solid heads of that dark 

 shade of green that is most desirable in a Cabbage, and has 

 such small outer leaves that it can be planted much 



closer together than the ordinary late sorts, and can be relied upon to 

 produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact of 

 its producing so few outer leaves and going all to head. A distinctive feature of 

 the Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its 

 appearance, but enable it to be distinguished anywhere. (See cut.) Price, 10c. per

Selected Early Jersey Wakefield. 



ORIGINAL STOCK. 



THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE. 



The merits and characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



are now so well known as to hardly need repeating here ; still, as our catalogue 

 annually falls into the hands of thousands who have not before seen it, we may 

 state that it is universally considered the best early Cabbage in cultivation. 

 Among its merits may be mentioned its large size of head for an early sort, small 

 outside foliage, and its uniformity in producing 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 finehard heads. (Seecut.) Price, 5c. per pkt., 

 30c. per oz., $1.00 per J 4 ' lb., $3.00 per lb. 



"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield Cab- 

 bage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No better variety is in cultiva- 

 tion to-day among the early kinds." — Country Gentleman. 



= - THE CHARLESTON = - 



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 Wake- 

 field, 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., 40c. per oz., 

 $1.25 per M lb., $4.00 per lb.
