PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE 



H enderson's Original Early Jersey Wakefield. 



THE BEST FIRST EARLY CABBAGE 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late 

 Peter Henderson still holds its undisputed lead as the best 

 extra early variety in cultivation, and is more largely grown 

 than all other First Early Cabbages combined. It is the good 

 old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earli- 

 ness and crop. It has a good sized head for so early a variety 

 and the small outside leaves allow it to be closely planted. 

 We have the original stock, well selected, and it has no equal.

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

 field Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No belter variety is in 

 culliration lo-day among the early kinds." — Country Gentleman. 



"Lester Bros, of Des Moines, Iowa, had the best Cabbage for summer use 

 grown from your seed that I ever saw. Look up their last year's orders, and 

 send me the same amount and kind of Cabbage they ordered of you last year. I 

 want some of the same kind of seed (it was Early Jersey Wakefield)."

H enderson's Charleston or Large Wakefield. 



THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE 



Several years ago, our customers requested us to procure 

 for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character- 

 istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size. With 

 this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks 

 of Wakefield a larger type, which is so fixed in its character 

 that it is now largely grown by those desiring a Cabbage of 

 this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent larger in 

 size than the old tvpe of Wakefield, and is only a few days later.

Henderson's Early Summer Cabbage. 



THE BEST SECOND EARLY CABBAGE 



This peerless variety was named and introduced by us years 

 ago; itis widely known and largely grown. It forms large fiat, 

 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, but is much larger in size. We 

 exercise the greatest care every 3'ear in breeding and selecting 

 this variety for seed purposes, so that Henderson's Early Sum- 

 mer of to-day will be found a far better sort than when we origin- 

 ally offered it. Price, 65c. oz., S2.20 i lb., S8.00 lb. 



New Early Market Cabbage. 



THE BEST EARLY ROUND-HEADED CABBAGE 



This Danish production represents the highest achievement 

 in Cabbage breeding, and is the best early round-headed Cabbage 

 we have ever grown or seen. In uniformity to type and even- 

 ness in early maturing it is a marvel. Every row and every 

 head in a row look as nearly alike as if all had been turned out 

 of a mold. Its evenness in maturing will in itself prove a 

 recommendation to our customers as they will easily see the 

 great importance of being able to clear off the ground at one 

 cutting, especially where room is required for a second crop. 

 The plants are of compact stocky growth, short-stemmed with 

 small in-folding outer leaves enclosing large solid ball-shaped 

 heads which average about ten pounds in weight, and are of the 

 finest quality, smooth with fine veins and small core. New 

 Early Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our 

 Early Wakefield. Can be planted as close as Early Spring 

 (21 inches apart) and will yield a greater crop per acre than 

 any other early Cabbage of which we know. For marketing 

 we predict this Cabbage has a great future. Its remarkably 

 fine quality and tenderness whether cooked or sliced for slaw 

 or salad will win friends wherever tried, and its handsome sal- 

 able appearance and uniformitv in maturing the crop will cause 

 it to be in great demand. Price, 90c. oz., S3. 25 ^Ib., $12.00 lb. 



American Drumhead Savoy. 



THE BEST FLAVORED OF ALL CABBAGES 



The Savoy Cabbages differ from all others in the peculiar 

 crumpled character of the leaves. This is caused by a more 

 rapid growth of the parts of the leaf between the veins, and as 

 this is the tenderest part of the leaf, the reason for its good 

 quality is apparent. This characteristic is maintained even in 

 the younger leaves. 



Although excellent at any season of its growth, the Savoy 

 Cabbage is never at its best until touched bj- frost, and for this 

 reason should be used only as a fall or early winter crop. In the 

 latitude of New York the best results are obtained from crops 

 raised from seed sown in June. American Drumhead Savoy is, 

 in our opinion, the best varietv grown. Price, 65c. oz. $2.20 

 li lb., $8.00 lb. 



"Your Drumhead Savov Cabbage was the finest I ever raised. 12 to 15 heads 

 fill a barrel." H. S. BECKER, R. F. D. 2, Bristol, Pa. 



"Think your seeds the best we ever planted. Our Cabbage last year was splendid, 

 all headed fine which surprised us. as we were told that the seasons were so short 

 here that we would not have any Cabbage at all. We were pleased to sell Cabbage 

 to the same ones who said it."
