 CABBAGE. (1 o2. produces 2,000 plants: >4 lb. to

Autumn King, Henderson's Enormous Solid 

 Heads often 12 to 15 lbs. each. It has such 

 small outer leaves that it can be planted closer 

 than the ordinary late sorts. .4 distinct feature 

 of the Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped 

 leaves, which enables it to be distinguished 

 anywhere 10

 variety of Early Jersey Wakefield but not as 

 early as the original stock. The pointed-head 

 Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat kinds. .

 This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by 

 the late Peter Henderson, still holds its undis- 

 puted lead as the best extra-early pointed-head 

 Cabbage, and is more lorgcly grown than all 

 other first-early Cabbages combined 10

and it grows well at any season

known variety; forms large solid heads, and 



winters well
