HENDERSONS 



Early Summer Cabbage 



A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage 

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



This peerles 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 bs. 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 Summer will be found a far better sort than 

 when we originally offered it, owing to continuous and care- 

 ful selection. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz.. 

 $2.50 34 lb., $8.00 lb.

HENDERSON'S 



Autumn King Cabbage 



Enormous Solid Heads 

 Often 20 to 30 lbs. each 



This peerless variety we introduced and we 

 say without hesitation that it is the finest late 

 Cabbage in this country today, entirely dis- 

 tinct, and the best keeper; it produces enor- 

 mous solid heads of that desirable glaucous- 

 green shade. It has such small outer leaves 

 that it can be planted closer than the ordinary 

 late sorts, and it can be relied upon to produce 

 a greater weight of crop per acre than any other 

 variety, from the fact that it produces very few 

 outer leaves and goes all to head. 



A distinct feature of the Autumn King is the 

 peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to 

 its appearance, but enable it to be distinguished 

 anywhere. There is no late-keeping variety which 

 maintains its fresh character so long after it has 

 matured. This quality has made it known as "the 

 sweetest Cabbage ever eaten." But, however good 

 a variety may be at its introduction, it is of paramount 

 importance that improvement in purity is steadily main- 

 tained. 



Price, 15c. pkt., $1.00 oz., $3.75 \i lb., $14.00 lb. 



"I am now gelling the Autumn King Cabbage from you for 20 years." 

 Mrs. STANLEY J. KIRBY, Fleetwood, Pa. 



"I find Henderson's Autumn King Cabbage the best keeping, and the largest 

 I have ever grown. We used the last of ours the end of April and they were 

 as good as when we first put them in the cellar." 



Mr. WALTER BAILE Y, Niantic, Conn. 



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. 75c. oz., $2.50 

 y± lb., $8.00 lb. 



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

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

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

 Gentleman. 



HENDERSON'S 



Charleston Wakefield 



Second-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



The pointed-head Cabbages are preferab-e 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 Charleston Wakefield is larger, but 

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

 ceed the very early sorts. Price, 10c. pkt., 75c. oz., $2.50 Vi lb., 

 $8.00 lb. 



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

 8, 10 and 12 lbs., as solid as a rock," 



O. B. STAUFFER. 



Rocky Ford, Colo.
