Henderson's Early Market Henderson's Early Spring 



A Splendid Round-Head Cabbage. Cnly a Few Cays Later 

 Than Early Jersey Wakefield. 



Introduced by Peter Henderson &. Co. in 1912 

 2.G2 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. 



For home use its remarkably 

 fine quality and tenderness will 

 be greatly appreciated. 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 attained its full size.

Golden Acre 



New, Early Round-headed Cabbage 

 One of the finest Cabbages Grown. Eight 

 to Ten Days Earlier Than Early Market. 



2fJQ Golden Acre Cabbage is 

 a new early round-headed 

 variety resembling Early Market 

 in shape and type, but is smaller 

 and can be planted closer. It is 

 also, as stated above, eight to 

 ten days earlier than that well 

 known variety. In addition it 

 can be truthfully said that it will 

 remain on the field for a long time 

 without bursting or bolting to 

 seed. Price, Dkt. 20c; oz. 

 $1.00; V* lb. $3.50; transpor- 

 tation paid.

A Round, Flat-Headed, Extra-Early Variety 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1$95 • • 

 OC4 The great value of Henderson's Early Spring lies in its beinj 

 a First Early FLAT Cabbage, a type much preferred ovei 

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

 to five outside leaves, and these so small that it may be planter 

 twenty-one inches apart. It is a sure, solid header, always producinj 

 a crop of large, uniform heads which seldom burst. There is 11 

 Cabbage we know of having a more solid head; it has al«o th< 

 firmly at an early stage in its growth, s< 

 that the finest Cabbage, thougl 

 small, can be obtained lonj 

 before it has attained its mature 

 size. Quality unequalled. Pric«

Henderson's Succession 



The Most Celebrated Second- 

 Early Variety in Cultivation 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1888

we consider one of our most valuable 

 contributions to horticulture. It stand; 

 today unrivaled as a second-early or main- 

 crop sort, and few vegetables have helc 

 their place in public esteem for so many years 

 The heads become solid long before they an 

 fully grown, so that, though immature, heads 

 of satisfactory size may be cut long before it 

 is at its best. This quality, combined witt 

 its ability to stand well without splitting 

 makes it available for use over a longei 

 season than any variety we know, and tht 

 best to use where only one sort is grown 



It is a second-early variety coming in im- 

 mediately after the first-early sorts. It 

 greatly exceeds in size any variety in it* 

 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 reliability and sun 

 cropping quality, it possesses all the fin< 

 qualities of the very best earlier varieties 

 Succession Cabbage is much sought after 

 and much seed is offered as "Succession' 

 which is spurious. True stock can only b< 

 obtained direct from us. (See illustration.' 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 80c; V« lb. $2.50 

 lb. $8.00; transportation paid. 



'Henderson's Succession is the finest Cabbage on earth. I had them all winter, in fact up to April loth stored in cold cellar."
