241 RIVIERA (Henderson's) 

 The Improved Italian Type 

 — -A Delicious Vegetable 



(See Color Plate, Page 21.) 

 Famed for its tender, delicious and 

 savory flavor, also for its healthful and 

 obesity-reducing qualities, and lastly 

 for its extreme ease of culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, 

 is branching in character, and each 

 branch terminates in a green sprout. 

 When the green sprouts, which are 

 actually a mass of flower buds, have 

 developed to two or three inches across 

 (and before the flowers appear), they 

 are ready for use. 



It thrives anywhere. For an early 

 crop, start the seed in a cold frame and 

 transplant seedlings in the open ground 

 after frost. 



For late crop, start seed in the open 

 ground during the early Summer 

 months. It is cooked and served like 

 Cauliflower. 



Price, pkt., 25c; Y 2 oz., 90c; 

 oz., 61.75. 



CABBAGE 



CULTURE — For earliest crop, start seed in hotbed in February, cover seed 

 one-half inch. Transplant in April, eighteen inches apart in rows and two 

 feet between rows. For late crop start seeds in May or June outdoors in 

 good, rich soil and transplant in July. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



242 LONG ISLAND STRAIN 



(A Special Dwarf Selection.) 



This is a fine strain of Sprouts, grown 

 extensively for the New York market, 

 where they bring a good price, espe- 

 cially during the winter. The plants 

 produce a large crop. 

 Price, pkt., 25c. 



245 DALKEITH (Henderson's) 



A very excellent selection of this 

 estimable vegetable. Sown in June 

 in the latitude of New York, it produces 

 an abundant crop of Sprouts — solid, 

 succulent and delicious — in the fall and 

 early winter. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz.. SI- 00. 



EXTRA EARLY and EARLY VARIETIES 



254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 

 (Henderson's) 



The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex- 

 cellent quality, quite free from the 

 coarse rankness so commonly associated 

 with Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston 

 Wakefield is larger, but fully equal in 

 quality to any of its class and admirably 

 suited to succeed the very early sorts. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; yi lb.. $1.75. 



261 GREEN ACRE (NEW) 



Best described as a Green Golden Acre. 

 The plants are very uniform, compact, 

 and have few outer leaves. The heads are 

 slightly larger than Golden Acre and re- 

 quire a few days longer to mature. The 

 outstanding feature of Green Acre is the 

 green color of the leaves, especially the 

 inner leaves which make up the head. 

 This characteristic is very desirable because 

 the green color gives the heads a very fresh 

 appearance over a long period of time. 

 Price, pkt., 25c. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round- 

 headed variety resembling Early Market 

 in shape and type, but is smaller. It is 

 also eight to ten days earlier than that 

 well-known variety. It will remain on 

 the field for a long time without bursting. 

 Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 90c; M lb., §2.75. 



259 EARLYKROP (Henderson's) 



One of the earliest round-headed Cab- 

 bages on the market. It finishes with 

 the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike 

 that type, it remains in perfect condition 

 on the field for a long time without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a 

 very desirable quality for the home 

 gardener who wants his crop to extend 

 over a long period of time. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., 90c; % lb., $2.75. 



260 EARLY JERSEY 

 WAKEFIELD 

 (Henderson's Original) 



The Best First-Early, Pointed- 

 Head Cabbage 



The heads are pyramidal in shape, hav- 

 ing a blunted or rounded peak. It is 

 beyond question the best variety for 

 spring and early summer in the private 

 garden. Its first appearance brings a 

 welcome change from the hard-headed 

 winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield 

 is attractive in appearance and essentially 

 good in quality. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; % lb., SI. 75. 



273 PREMJ.ER (Henderson's) 



(See Color Plate Page 6) 

 It is the earliest of all the round-headed 

 varieties, fully 3 to i days earlier than 

 Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, 

 the plant is more compact; it can there- 

 fore be planted closer than other sorts, 

 so that quality cabbage can be grown 

 in even the smallest garden. The heads 

 are very firm, and the quality is de- 

 licious, tender and succulent. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.25; % lb., $3.50. 



262 EARLY MARKET (Henderson's) 



The plant is small, with short stem, and 

 few outer leaves. These have the ex- 

 cellent habit of curving inward, thus 

 providing protection to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine 

 quality and tenderness will be greatly 

 appreciated. There is an entire absence 

 of coarse veins and leaves, and it has 

 the quality peculiar to some of the best 

 sorts of hardening the head before it 

 has attained its full size. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 90c; K lb., $2.75. 



"Yellows" Resistant Varieties 



267 RESISTANT COPENHAGEN 



MARKET (Early) 



This "yellows" resistant strain matures 

 about the same time as our ordinary- Copen- 

 hagen Market, and the heads are about the 

 same size. Where "yellows" is prevalent, 

 growers may depend on the variety to pro- 

 duce an early crop of excellent round heads. 

 Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; % lb., $3.00. 



263 MARION MARKET 



(Second Early) 



One of the first resistant strains to be 

 developed. Marion Market has proven 

 very profitable for many growers because 

 of its dependability and heavy yields, even 

 on yellows infected soil. The plants and 

 heads are larger than Copenhagen Market. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 90c; l A lb., $2.75. 



275 RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE 



(Extra Early) 



This strain has proven highly re- 

 sistant to "yellows" and has made 

 it possible for growers to produce a 

 good crop of early Cabbage in many- 

 areas infested with this disease. The 

 heads closely resemble our strain of 

 regular Golden Acre, but mature a 

 dav or two later. 



Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; 

 M lb., $3.00. 



277 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER 



No. 8 ^.(Late) 



This is a "yellows" resistant strain 

 of the Danish Ballhead type. An 

 excellent late variety for storage 

 and shipping. The plants are large 

 and very hardy. The heads are 

 large, practically round and solid. 

 -Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 80c; 

 M lb., $2.25.
