ENDERSON'S 

 ORIGINAL 



Early Jersey Wakefield. 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage. 



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 good, old reliable; and 

 may be depended upon for uniformity in earliness and crop. The 

 head is large enough for so early a variety and the small outside 

 leaves enable it to be planted closely; the heads are pyramidal 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 appearance 

 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 appetizing dishes, and worthy of a place on 

 any table. (See engraving.) Price, 60c. oz., $2.20 j lb., $8.00 lb. 



"Lester Bros, of Des Moines, Iowa, had the best Cabbage for summer use grown 

 from your seed that I ever saw. Look up their last year's orders, and send me the 

 same amount and kind of Cabbage they ordered of you lasi year. I want some of the 

 same kind of seed (it was Early Jersey Wakefield)." 



JAMES HETHERSHOW, Des Moines, Iowa. 



"Think your seeds the best we ever planted. Our Cabbage last year was splendid, all headed fine which 

 surprised us. as we were told that the seasons were so short here that we would not have any Cabbage at all. 

 We were pleased to sell Cabbage to the same ones who said it." 



Mrs. GRACE JENSEN, Island Pond, Vt. 



"Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting 

 monument to his name. No belter variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds." — Country 

 Gentleman. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SPRING CABBAGE. 



The Only Extra Early Round Flat-Headed Cabbage. Every hea 

 Few and small outside leaves. Small 



Its great value lies in its being a First Early Flat Cabbage, a 

 type much preferred to pointed heads by many people. It is 

 of the Early Summer type, about one-fifth smaller and has only 

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

 planted 21 inches apart, 13,500 to the acre. Remembering that 

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

 all markets and that it is ready fully a week earlier than any sort 

 like it. Its value can be readily appreciated. The stem is 

 short, making almost the whole plant edible. It is finely bred, 

 the veining of the leaves being particularly fine. There is no 

 Cabbage we know of having a more solid head; it has also the 

 peculiarity of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, 

 so that the finest Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long 



d is uniform as if moulded, and remarkably solid even when young. 



veins. Fine texture and delicate flavor. 



before it has attained its mature size. Its shape and large yield 

 per acre make it particularly valuable for truckers, and its good 

 quality will render it the finest early Cabbage for private gardens.

"/ tried your Early Spring Cabbage last year, and I think it deserves a better 

 recommendation than you give it in your catalogue." 



D. J. DARKES. Fredericksburg, Pa. 

 "I tried Henderson's Early Spring this year for the first time and I must say it 

 fills a place we have so long wanted a Cabbage for. The leaves are so small you 

 can plant it 18 inches apart. The head is very early, very hard, and smalt to medium 

 in size, and is ideal for the housewife. It grows here about 2 pounds in size and 

 we get 10 cents per head for it." DR. E. A. LEE, 



Jennings, Louisiana.
