6 PETER HENDERSON & CO.,-NEW YORK. 
_ Henderson’s Selected Barly Jersey Wakefield Cabbage. 
4 \\— ORIGINAL STOCK. 
THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE OF AMERICA. 
“Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a 
lasting monument to hisname. No better variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds. ’— 
Country Gentleman. 
The merits and characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage are 
now so well known as to hardly need repeating here; still as our catalogue annually 
falls into the hands of thousands who have not before seen it, we may state that it 
{ is universally considered the best early Cabbage in cultivation. Among its merits 
i muy be mentioned its large size of head for an early sort, small outside foliage, and 
its uniformity in producing acrop. «The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a 
blunted or rounded peak. It is positively the finest sort on the market for early 
shipping. (See cut.) Price, 5c. per pkt., 25c. per oz., 75c. per &% 1b., $2.50 per Ib. 
THE CHARLESTON 
OR LARGE TYPE OF WAKEFIELD. 
For some years past customers have requested us to procure for them, if possible, a 
Cabbage which had all the characteristics of the Early Jersey Wakefield. but of a 
greater size. With this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks of Wake- 
HENDERSON'S EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIFLD CABBAGE field a larger type, which is now so fixed in its character that we can offer it with con- 
fidence to those desiring a Cabbage of this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent. larger in size than the old type of 
Wakefield, and is only two or three days later. Price, 10c. per pkt., 80c. per oz., $1.00 per % Ib., $3.00 per lb. 
Hendersoen’s Harly Summer Cabbage. rie 
Our stock of this variety we believe to be the best and purest in the country. Henderson’s Early Summer is about ten days later than the 
Jersey Wakefield, but being of over double the size it may be classed as the best large early Cabbage. It keeps longer without bursting open after 
heading than any variety we know of. We would however, caution those of our customers who intend to grow it in cold frames to winter over, 
to sow it at least ten days later than the Wakefield or other early varieties, as it has a tendency to run to seed if sown at the dates suitable for 
other early sorts. 5c. pkt., 25c. per oz., 75c. per & Ib., $2.50 per lb. 
HMenderson’s “Autumn King” Cabbage. 
HIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation that it is the finest late Cab- x alte 
bage in this country to-day, entirely distinct, es the best keeper; it produces enormous, solid Js ee SUDETS CT gel eCuLel 
heads of that dark shade of green that is most desirable in a Cabbage, and has such small outer leaves | Wnter Cabbages. 
that it can be planted much closer together than the ordinary late sorts, and can be relied upon Enormous solid heads, average 
to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact of its producing so few | ing 15 to 18 lbs. 
outer leaves and going all to head. A distinctive feature of the AutumN Kine is the peculiarly crimped Me P36 tod O SHEHea ener 
leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enables it to be distinguished anywhere. We are sorry to EEUU, 4 We oh ie

SAY :— 
“The Autumn King Cabbage is the best late 
variety for this country I have ever struck. The 
water was all over my garden the oth of Novem- 
ber, and I was obliged to gather the Flat Dutch 
varieues, but the Autumn King is still out and is 
in good condition. The water being over the heads 
did not make them burst. It is a King among 
Cabbage,”’ 
L. W. KAYLOR, Napavine, Washington

Autumn King Cabbage. It is the finest late 2

‘From your Autumn King Cabbage Seed I have 
raised the finest Cabbages that I ever saw. Some 
of the heads (after cleared off ready for market) 
weighed 10 lbs. in September. It is very tender 
and of fine flavor.” 
J. S. BORNE, Ritchie, Va. 
“T have just sent a specimen of your Autumn 
King Cabbage tothe Sioux City Corn Palace. It 
weighed 274% pounds, and [ can raise more 
pounds to the roo heads than any other grower 
can with any other variety. 1 have svld 200 heads
