Cabbage 



Henderson's Early Market 



A Splendid Round-Head Cabbage. Only a Few Days 

 Later Than Early Jersey Wakefield 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1912 



262. This Danish production is highly praised by all 

 who have grown it. 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 curving 

 inward, thus providing protection to the head, and so 

 effectually economizing space that it may be planted 

 twenty-one inches apart with a head of similar size. 



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 full size. (See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. pkt., 70c. oz., $2.00 % lb., $7.00 lb.

Henderson's Original 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1S6S 

 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 heads are pyra- 

 midal 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 appear- 

 ance 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 appe- 

 tizing dishes, and worthv of a place on any table. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 70c. oz., $1.90 '4 lb., $6.00 lb. 



Henderson's Charleston Wakefield 



The Best Second-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1892 



251. The pointed-head Cabbages are preferable to the 

 larger flat kinds. "When used fresh from the garden they 

 are of excellent quality, quite free from the coarse rank- 

 ness 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 succeed the 

 early sorts.

Henderson's Early Spring 



A Round, Flat-Headed, Extra-Early Variety 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1895 

 264. The great value of Henderson's Early Spring lies in its 

 being a First Early FLAT Cabbage, a type much preferred 

 over pointed heads by many people. It has a short stem and 

 only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it 

 may be planted twenty-one inches apart. Remembering that 

 this is a first early flat variety, the shape that is so popular, 

 and that it is ready earlier than any sort like it, its value can 

 be readily appreciated. It is a sure, solid header, always pro- 

 ducing a crop of large, uniform heads which seldom burst. 

 It is extensively grown in all sections of the country, and is 

 pronounced a great success. There is no Cabbage we know of 

 having a more solid head; it has also the peculiarity of head- 

 ing firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that the finest 

 Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has at- 

 tained its mature size. Quality unequalled. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 y t lb., $5.00 lb.
