 rv_.__„|: Continued experience con- 

 JL/ vvarr fii-ms our belief that this ,<; 



n^m, T\,,M.^l^ is a most valuable second r 

 at LiUtCn early sort. The plant is '- 

 short stemmed, upright and having compara- 

 tively few and short leaves, the rows can be 

 set close together. Head large, solid, crisp 

 and tender, maturing with Early Summer. 

 Every plant will form a hard head fit for 

 market and will mature much earlier than 

 the Late Flat Dutch or other sorts usually 

 grown for market and shipping. Our carefully 

 selected strain should not be confounded with the 

 Inferior, later stocks offered as Early Flat Dutch.

 /\11 neaCl I-iariy Early is of especial value 

 because of close adherence to the type in habit of 

 growth and the shape and quality of the head. 

 Plant more compact, leaf smoother and thicker 

 and head larger and a little more round than the 

 Early Summer. We consider this one of the best 

 second early sorts on our lists for both the market 

 and home use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c; 3 Oz. 40c;

Henderson's Early Summer 



Early Winnigstadt 



One of the best 

 for general use, 

 being very hardy and sure to head. Owing to 

 its compact and upright habit of growth and 

 peculiar texture of short thick leaf, the vari- 

 ety seems to suffer less from the cabbage 

 worm than most other sorts. Head regular, 

 conical, very hard and keeps well both sum- 

 mer and winter. It is the hardiest, not only as 

 regards frost, but will puffer less from exces- 

 sive wet, drought, insects or disease than any 

 other second early sort, Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c;

MQAsic/^ne C>ne of the earliest of the 

 K^CdbUOb second early sorts. Head 

 very large, round, often nearly spherical but 

 usually somewhat flattened; very solid and of 

 the best quality, keeping as well as the winter 

 sorts Plant very vigorous and S" re heading; 

 leaves large, smooth with dense bloom. Re- 

 markable for its ability to stand the hot sun 

 and dry weather. Our trial has shown that 

 heads which were fit for market by July 10th 

 were still salable September lOtli, the only 

 change being increased size and density.

Ohort Otem certainly is one 

 of the very best second early sorts 

 in cultivation, especially for the 

 home garden. It keeps well both 

 under the sun and during the 

 winter. Head large, flat, com- 

 pact, solid and of fine quality. We have 

 taken pains to have our stock free from 

 the longer stemmed, coarse plants often 

 seen in inferior stocks of this variety.
