. . . HENDERSON'S . . . 

 EARLY SPRING" CABBAGE. 



A NEW EXTRA EARLY CABBAGE, WITH A ROUND FLAT 

 HEAD, COMING IN WITH THE WAKEFIELD. 



The most valuable early Cabbage ever Introduced. The variety is of 

 Early Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller, having only four or five 

 outside leaves, and these so small, and growing so near to the head, that 

 it may be successfully planted twenty-one inches apart, as close as any 

 variety we know of. But its great value lies in the fact that it 

 is the only first Early Plat Cabbage. It possesses wonderful uni- 

 formity in shape, being round, slightly flattened at top of head. Stem is 

 short and extends but little into the head ; this feature is valuable, as it 

 makes almost the entire head edible. The veining of the leaves is par- 

 ticularly fine, in which respect it shows ifs finely bred character, being 

 entirely free from any coarseness whatever. There is no Cabbage we 

 know of having a more solid head; but, added to this, it has the pecul- 

 iarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that the finest 

 Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has attained its 

 mature size. It is entirely free from any rankness of flavor. (See cut.)

THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



The merits and characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield Cab- 

 bage are now so well known as to hardly need repeating here ; still as our 

 catalogue annually falls into the hands of thousands who have not before 

 seen it, we may state that it is universally considered the best early Cab- 

 bage in cultivation. Among its merits may be mentioned its large size of 

 head/or a7i early sort, small outside foliage, and its uniformity in producing 

 a crop. The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded 

 peak. Our seed of this famous Cabbage is very choice, being saved from 

 selected fine hard heads. {See cut.) Price, 5c. per pkt., 30c. peroz., $1.00 per 

 ,'4 lb., $3.l'0 per lb. 



" Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but Introduce the Early Wake- 

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

 variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds." — Country Gentleman. 



THE CHARLESTON "^ '-^l^J^^l 



For some years past customers have requested us to procure for them, if 

 possible, a Cabbage which had all the characteristics of the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, but of a greater size. With this in view, we carefully selected 

 from one of our best stocks of Wakefield a larger type, which is now so 

 fixed in its character that we can offer it with confidence to those desiring a 

 Cabbage of this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent, larger 

 in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only two or three days later. 

 Price, 10c. per pkt., 40c. per oz., $1.25 per }4, lb., $4.00 per lb. 



Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



IS POSITIVELY THE 



FINEST CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE, 



Whether for Medium Early, Main Crop or Win- 

 ter use. PERFECT in every respect. 



The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valu- 

 able contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a 

 second early, coming in a few days later than Early Summer, 

 but it is immeasurably superior to that variety ; it is of nearly 

 double the size and is absolutely true to its type under all con- 

 ditions. In addition to this, it has no tendency whatever to run 

 to seed. We can say without exaggeration that it is the Jiwst 

 Cabbage in existence to-day ; whether for medium early, main 

 crop or late use it has no equal. It is so finely bred and so true 

 to type that in a field of twenty acres every head appears alike. 

 We can recommend it either for the market gardener, trucker or 

 private planter, as it is a perfect cabbage in every respect, not 

 only being of the largest size, but of handsome color and of the 

 finest quality. It is probably the safest variety for an amateur 

 to plant as it does well at all seasons, and one is almost sure of 

 getting a crop, no matter when it is planted. Our stocks of 

 Cabbage of all varieties have for years been the acknowledged 

 standard o/excellerux in this country, and when we state that we 

 consider Snccession to be the most valuable variety that we 

 have ever introduced, our opinion of its great merit will be 

 apparent to all. (See cut.)
