HENDERSON'S 



Early Summer Cabbage 



A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1874. 



266 This peerless variety was named and introduced by us years 

 ago; it is widely known and largely grown. As an ideal second- 

 early Cabbage it continues to hold its place. It forms large, flat, 

 round, solid heads, weighing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each. The quahty 

 is excellent, tender and sweet. It comes in about ten days later 

 than Early Jersej^ Wakefield, but is more than double in weight. 

 Henderson's Early Summer will be found a far better sort than 

 when we originallv offered it, cwing to continuous and careful selec- 

 tion. Price, 10c." pkt., 70c. oz., $2.00 H lb., $6.00 lb. 



"/ take pleasure in lelKng you that four pounds of Hendersort's Early Summer 

 Cabbage 'produced more plants than ten pounds of seed I purchased locally." " 



J. L. ABBOTT, Mobile, Ala.^ 



HENDERSON'S 



Early Market Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1912. 

 262 This Danish production is highly praised bj- all who have 

 grown it. Its uniformity to type is mar\-elous. Every row and 

 every head in the row look as nearly alike as if all had been turned 

 out of a mold. The plant is small, with short stem, and few outer 

 leaves. These have the excellent habit of curving inward, thus 

 providing protection to the head, and so effectually economizing 

 space that it may be planted 21 inches apart — at least 50 per 

 cent closer than any variety with a head of similar size. 



Early market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our 

 Early Jersey Wakefield, and will yield a greater crop per acre than 

 any other early Cabbage. 



For home use its remarkably fine quality and tenderness will be 

 greatly appreciated. The whole plant is well bred. There is an 

 entire absence of course veins and leaves, and it has the quahty 

 peculiar to some of the best sorts, of hardening the head before 

 it has attained its mature size. {See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 80c. oz., $2.50 H lb., $8.00 lb. 



*'Too much cannot be said in praise of Henderson's Early Market Cab' 

 bage. It surely is fine and I never had such nice cabbage before. It is a 

 wonderfully good keeper," 

 Feb. 16th, 1923 MRS. S. H. STONER, Fayatteville, Pa.

HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



The Rest First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1868. 

 260 Tliis Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late Peter 

 Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best extra-early 

 pointed-head Cabbage, and is more largely grown than all other 

 first-early Cabbages combined. It is the good, old rehable; and 

 may be depended upon for uniformity in earhness and crop. The 

 head is large enough for so earlj' a variety and the small outside 

 leaves enable it to be planted closely; the heads are pyramidal in 

 shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. It is beyond question 

 the best variety for spring and early siunmer 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 qualitj\ It has a delicacy of flavor rarely 

 associated Ts-ith Cabbage, and properly cooked may be naade one 

 of the most palatable and appetizing dishes, and worthy of a place 

 on anv table. (See engraving.) 



Price, lOc. pkt., 70c. oz., $2.00 H lb., $6.00 lb. 



'* Had Peter HeT}d?rson dove nothing else hut introduce the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield Cabbage, it would he a lasting monument to his name. S'o belter 

 variety is in cultivation today among the early kinds,** — Couxtry 

 Gentleman. .^ 



HENDERSON'S 



Charleston Wakefield 



Second-Early Pointed Head Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1892. 

 254 The pointed-head Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat ' 

 kinds, when used fresh from the garden they are of excellent 

 quality, quite free from the coarse rankness so commonly associated 

 with Cabbage. Henderson's Churleston Wakefield is larger, but 

 fully equal in quality to any of its class and admirably suited to suc- 

 cee<i the very earlv sorts. 



Price, 10c. pkt, 70c. oz., $2.00 H lb., $6.00 lb. 



"J have used your Wakefield Cabbage seed for years, and like them best of all." 

 March 5th, 1923 MRS. ^\ J. DAVIS, Vassar, Mich. 



"We discarded a Henderson Lawn Mower the other day purchased from you 21 years ago and used continuously. I hasten to order 

 another." MRS. OGG, Olathe, Kan., May 23rd 1923
