PRAISE FOR SUCCESSION 



"I have, had three years' experience with Henderson's Succession and I have 

 found it by far the best all around Cabbage I ever planted. These are the 

 reasons. It is a rapid grower, very hardy, and will head at least 10 per cent 

 better than any other variety I know. It is fairly early, makes a beautiful 

 head and surpasses all others I know in flavor A certain merchant in our 

 town gained guite a number of new customers one season simply because he 

 handled my Henderson's Succession." DR. E. A. LEE, Louisiana. 



Henderson's Early Summer 



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 excellent, tender and sweet. It 

 comes in about ten days later than Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, but is more than double in weight. Hen- 

 derson's Early Summer will be found a far better 

 sort than when we originally offered it, owing to 

 continuous and careful selection.

Henderson's Autumn King 



Enormous Solid Heads — Often 20 to 30 lbs. Each 

 252. This peerless variety we introduced and we sav 

 without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage 



in this country today, entirely distinct, and the best 

 keeper; it produces enormous solid heads of that 

 desirable glaucous-green shade. It has such small 

 outer leaves that it can be planted closer than the 

 ordinary late sorts, and it can be relied upon to pro- 

 duce a greater weight of crop per acre than any 

 other variety, from the fact that it produces very 

 few outer leaves and goes all to head. 



A distinct feature of the Autumn King is the 

 peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its 

 appearance, but enable it to be distinguished any- 

 where. There is no late-keeping variety ■ which 

 maintains its fresh character so long after it has 

 matured. This quality has made it known as "the 

 sweetest Cabbage ever eaten." But, however good a 

 variety may be at its introduction, it is of para- 

 mount importance that improvement in purity is 

 steadily maintained. (See engraving.)

Cabbage 



(.Continued) 

 Henderson's 



Succession 



| (Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co in 1888.) 



The Most Celebrated Second- 

 Early Variety in Cultivation 



274. Henderson's Snccession Cabbage 

 we consider one of our most %-aluable 

 contributions to horticulture. It stands 

 today unrivaled as a second-early or 

 main-crop sort, and few vegetables have 

 held their place in public esteem for so 

 many years. The heads become solid 

 long before they are fully grown, so 

 that, though immature, heads of satis- 

 factory size may be cut long before it is 

 at its best. This quality, combined with 

 its ability to stand well without splitting, 

 makes it available for use over a longer 

 season than any variety we know, and 

 the best to use where only one sort is 

 grown. 



We introduced this variety in 1888, 

 and its appearance attracted instant at- 

 tention. Since then there have been 

 many attempts at imitating it, but the 

 enormous increase of our sales, and the 

 periodically unsatisfied demand for our stock, give testimony 

 to the acknowledged superiority of Henderson's Succession 

 over all would-be competitors. It stands today a money 

 maker for the trucker, and the delight of the amateur. 



It is a second-early variety coming in immediately after 

 the first-early sorts. It greatly exceeds in size any variety 

 in its season. "Without doubt it is the best second-early 

 Cabbage in existence, and is so finely bred, so free from 

 coarse veining of the leaves, that, in addition to its re- 

 liability and sure cropping quality, it possesses all the fine 

 qualities of the very best earlier varieties. Succession Cab- 

 bage is much sought after, and much seed is offered as 

 "Succession" which is spurious. True stock can only be 

 obtained direct from us. (See engraving.;
