PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSON'S 



Charleston Wakefield 



Golden Acre 



A Money Maker for the 

 Market Gardener — eight 

 to Ten Days Earlier Than 

 Copenhagen Market. The 

 Earliest Round-Headed 

 Cabbage on the Market. 

 Golden Acre Cabbage is 

 a new early round-headed 

 variet3r resembling Copen- 

 hagen Market in shape 

 and type; but is smaller 

 and can be planted closer. 

 It is also, as stated above, 

 eight to ten days earlier 

 than that well known 

 variety. These character- 

 istics alone will commend 

 it to the Market Gardener, 

 but in addition it can be 



truthfully said that it will remain on the field for a 

 long time without bursting or bolting to seed. The 

 consumer is sure to give repeat orders {See engraving). 

 Price, oz. 90c., 34 lb. $3.00, lb. $10.00. 



Copenhagen Market 



Round Heads Averaging Eight to Ten Pounds 

 Extremely Solid, Small Core. 



The plant is comparatively small with a very short 

 stem and with few outer leaves. The leaves have 

 the very desirable habit of curving inward and folding 

 one on the top of the other making a tight, compact 

 head. 



The plant does not require a very large space to 

 grow in and may be planted about twenty inches apart. 

 Price, oz. 60c., J^ lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 



Henderson's Early Summer 



{Introduced by Peter Hendesson ^ Co. in 1874.) 



Second Early Large, Round Flat Heads. 



It forms large, flat, round, solid heads, weigh«- 

 ing usually 8 to 10 lb. each, though with rich 

 cultivation 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 Succession perfectly. 

 It trims up neatly and looks well on the load and on 

 the stand. Price, oz., 50c., Yi lb. $1.50, lb. $5.00. 



(I ntroduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in j8g2.) 



Charleston Wakefield, as we named 

 it, is the very' best stock of pointed 

 head cabbage grown today in every 

 respect, except that it matures about 

 a week later than Early Jersey Wake- 

 field. The heads are twice as large 

 as its parent stock, weighing from '8 

 to 10 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 variet}'. Charles- 

 ton 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. {See engraving.) 

 Price, oz. 60c., H lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.
