Late Flat Dutch 



Henderson's Autumn King 



Enormous Solid Heads — Often 20 to 30 lbs. Each 



252 This peerless variety we introduced, and we say 

 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- 

 greeri shade. It ha* such small outer leaves that it can be 

 planted closer than the ordinary late sorts, and it can 

 be relied upon to produce 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 anywhere. 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." (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 70c; > 4 lb. $1.90; lb. $6.00;

 SUPERIOR STRAIN OR 



Danish Ball Head 

 or Holland ^ e f nn 



258 This type of win- 

 ter Cabbage has 

 become very popular of 

 late years on account of 

 the unequalled keeping 

 qualities, as well as for 

 the great solidity and 

 weight of the heads; it 

 is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, producing large, 

 round, compact heads, 

 almost as hard as iron, 

 weighing when trimmed 

 fully one-fourth more than 

 any other Cabbage of 

 equal size; in consequence, 

 it keeps in choice condi- 

 tion until rpring. (See 

 illustration.' Price, pkt.

 AND LATE 



CABBAGE 



Red Cabbage 



Henderson's New Cabbage 



"Perfection Savoy* ' 



271 Perfection, both in appearance and qual- 

 ity. Henderson's Perfection Savov is 

 entirely distinct from any other variety grown. It 

 develops into a neat, compact plant which permits 

 closer plantirtg than other cabbages. The head is 

 medium in size, and the leaves are so distinctly and 

 deeply crumpled as to give it almost a mossy 

 appearance, making it thereby highly ornamental. 



In quality it is said by experts to supercede all 

 others. It,? flavor is sweet and delicious, and it is 

 positively the tenderest cabbage in existence. 



Price, pkt. 25c; 5 pkts/ $1.00; oz. $2.00;
