EXTRA EARLY and 

 EARLY VARIETIES 



262 EARLY MARKET (Henderson's) 

 A Very Desirable, Early, Round-Headed Variety 



The plant is small, with short stem, and few outer leaves- These 

 have the excellent habit of curving inward, thus providing protec- 

 tion to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine quality and tenderness will be 

 greatly appreciated. There is an entire absence of coarse vein.= 

 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., 75c; >< lb., $2.25; transportation paid- 



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. 



254 CHARLESTON V^AKEFIELD (Henderson's) 



The pointed-head Cabbages are of excellent 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 itstlciss and admirably suited to succeed the very 

 early sorts. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; yi lb., $1.50; transportation paid. 



259 EARLYKROP (Henderson's) 



One of the earUest round-headed Cabbages 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; J^ lb., $2.75; transportation paid. 



260 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 



(Henderson's Original) 



The Best First-Early, Pointed-Head Cabbage 



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. {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 34 lb-. $1-50; transpwrtation paid. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round-headed variety reserabUnR 

 E^rly Market in shape and type, but is smaller. It is also eighi 

 to ten days earlier than that well-known variety. It will remain 

 on the field for a long time without bursting or bolting to .seed 

 {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 7Sc; K lb., $2.00; transportation paid. 



273 PREMIER (Henderson's) 



It is the earliest of all the round-headed varieties, fully 3 to 4 

 days earUer than Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, the 

 plant is more compact; it can therefore 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 

 delicious, tender and succulent. (See Color Plate, Page 19.) 

 Price, pkt., 25c; oz., 90c; }4 lb., $2.75; transportation paid.
