HENDERSON'S TESTED SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL 



EARLY 

 JERSEY 



Wakefield Cabbage. 



"I have bought your seed for my cabbage for a number of 

 years, and buyers say that my cabbage is the best of any drawn 

 to them." 



OSCAR GIMBLE, Lyndonville, Ky. 



"I have been growing cabbage for northern shipment at this 

 place for ten years, and have tested many varieties of cabbage, 

 but have never found any to equal Henderson's Early Summer 

 for this soil and climate." 



W. S. WILBOURNE, Willis, Texas 



"I wish to state that the cabbage from Henderson's Early 

 Summer Cabbage seed exceed anything you claim for them. 

 They were only a few days later than the Wakefield varieties. 

 I had one head that actually weighed with the leaves on 23 lbs., 

 and many that weighed from 14 to 23 lbs. For years I am a 

 large market gardener in Syracuse but I never saw such fine 

 early cabbage before." 



G. W. HUNTLEY, Syracuse, N. Y. 



The Best 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 a 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. 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.

"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield Cabbage, 

 it would be a lasting monument to his name. No better variety is in cultivation to-day 

 among the early kinds." — Country Gentleman. 



"We have purchased our Cabbage seed from Peter Henderson &° Co. for upwards of forty years. We 

 have not had one failure to record in all that lime with Henderson's Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage seed." 



BLACKMAN BROTHERS, Nevada, Iowa 



"1 am sending for some more of your Wakefield Cabbage seed. I planted this variety last year and I 

 never had better success with cabbage in my life." 



R. F. SIMPKINS, Richmond, Va. 



Henderson s Early Summer Cabbage. 



The Best Second Early Cabbage. 



Large, Round, Flat Heads, 8 to 10 pounds 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 still holds the 

 palm. It forms large, flat, round, solid heads, weighing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each, 

 though with rich cultivation it often gives 10 to 12 lb. heads. The quality is 

 excellent, tender and crisp. It comes in about ten days later than Early Jersey 

 Wakefield and fills the gap between it and Succession perfectly. We exercise 

 the greatest care every year in breeding and selecting this variety for seed purposes, 

 so that Henderson's Early Summer of to-day will be found a far better sort than 

 when we originally offered it. It trims up neatly and looks well on the load and 

 on the stand. (See engraving.) Price, 45c. oz., $1.25 l /i lb., $4.00 lb. 



Henderson's Selected 



Late Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



One of the Oldest Sorts Grown — Large 

 Round Solid Heads — An Excellent Keeper. 



This strain of late Cabbage has been grown 

 by us for many years, and is now recognized as 

 the standard of its type. Under all conditions, 

 both in private and commercial gardens, it has 

 been the one variety mainly relied on for late 

 fall and winter use for over half a century. 



A description seems unnecessary, when most 

 of our patrons know it so well. It is just a good 

 Cabbage in every respect. Grows easily, cooks 

 easily, tastes good, and will for many years to 

 come be highly esteemed. 



Our stock is iust as good as ever and we are 

 sure it will please. 



Price, 50c. oz., $1.50 H lb., $5.00 lb.
