ay ieee gs” ae : -Early Jersey Wakefield 
= : oe = j The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co., in 1868. 
260. 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 Harly 
Jersey Wakefield is attractive in appearance and essenti- 
ally 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.)

Henderson’s 
Early Summer Cabbage 
A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co., in 1874. 
266. 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 continues to ~ 
hold its place. It forms large, flat, 
round, solid heads, weighing usually 
8 to 10 lbs. 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 origin- 
ally offered it, owing to continuous 
and careful selection. (See en- 
graving.) Price, 10¢. pkt., 70¢. 0z., 
$2.00 14 lb., $6.00 lb. 
Henderson’s 
Charleston Wakefield 
Second-Early Pointed 
Head Cabbage 
Introduced by Peter 
Henderson & Co., in 1892. 
254. The pointed-head Cab- 
bages are preferable 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, 10e. pkt., 75¢. oz., $2.25 
¥% lb., $7.00 lb. 
Henderson’s 
Early Market Cabbage 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co., in 1912. 
262. This Danish production is highly praised 
by all who have grown it. Its uniformity to type is 
marvelous. Every row and every head in the row look 
as nearly alike as if all had been turned out of a mold. 
The plant is small, with short stem, and few outer 
leaves. These have the excellent habit of eurving in- 
ward, thus providing protection to the head, and so 
effectually economizing space that it may be planted 21 
inches apart—at least 50 per cent closer than any 
variety with a head of similar size. 
Early market Cabbage is but three or four days later 
than our Early Jersey Wakefield, and will yield a 
greater crop per acre than any other early Cabbage. 
For home use its remarkably fine quality and tender- 
ness will be greatly appreciated. The whole plant is 
well bred. There is an entire absence of coarse veins 
and leaves, and it has the quality peculiar to some of 
the best sorts, of hardening the head before it has at- 
tained its mature size. (See engraving.)

“Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting monu- 
ment to his name. No better variety is in cultivation today among the early kinds.’—Country Gentleman.
