HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



The Rest First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



This 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 reliable; and 

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

 head is large enough for so early 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 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. It has a delicacy of flavor rarely 

 associated with Cabbage, and properly cooked may be made one 

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

 on any table. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt. ZOc. oz., $2.25 

 34 lb., S8.00 lb. 



" Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No belter 

 variety is in cultivation today among the early kinds." — Country 

 Gentleman.

HENDERSON'S 



6 Early Summer Cabbage 



A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage 



Large, Round, Flat Heads, 8 to 10 lbs. each 



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 quality is ex- 

 cellent, tender and sweet. It comes in about ten 

 days later than Early Jersey Wakefield, but is more 

 than double in weight. Henderson's Early Sum- 

 mer will be found a far better sort than when we 

 originally offered it, owing to continuous and care- 

 ful selection. Price, 10c. pkt., 70c. oz., $2.25 \i lb., 

 $8.00 lb. 



"I have bought your seeds for my cabbage crop for a number 

 of years, and have always had good seed, true to type." 

 OSCAR GRIMBLE, Lyndonville, N. Y. 



Charleston Wakefield 



Second-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



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 corumonly associated 

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

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

 ceed the very earlv sorts. Price, 10c. pkt., ZOc oz., S2.2S H Jb-i 

 $8.00 lb. 



" Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing 

 8, io and 12 lbs., as solid as a rock," 



O. B. STAUFFER.

HENDERSON'S 



Early Market Cabbage 



This Danish production is highly praised by all 

 who have grown it. Its uniformity to type is mar- 

 velous. 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 

 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 mature size. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 15c. pkt., 80c. oz., $2.75 \i lb., 

 $10.00 lb. 



"Henderson's Early Market Cabbage is especially fine. 

 All the vegetable seeds I purchased from you for my friend 

 Mrs. Hale were very good. She has a grand garden." 



WILLIAM RICKETTS, Washington, D. C.
