Henderson's Choice Varieties for a "Garden Bountiful" 23 



Henderson's Early Spring 



A Round, Flat-Headed, Extra-Early Variety 



Introduced by Peter Henderson &• Co. in 1897 

 OCA The great value of Henderson's Early Spring lies in its being 

 **** a First Early Flat Cabbage, a type much preferred over 

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

 five outside leaves, and these so small that it may be planted twenty- 

 one inches apart. It is a sure, solid header, always producing a crop 

 of* large, uniform heads which seldom burst. 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 before it has attained its mature 

 size. Quality unequalled. Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 40c.; H lb. $1.25; lb. 

 $4.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Early Market 



A Splendid Round-Head Cabbage. Only a Few Days Later 

 Than Early Jersey Wakefield 



Introduced by Peter Henderson f Co. in 1912 

 262 Tnis E >an i sn 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. (See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. 80c.; H lb. $2.50; lb. $8.00; transportation paid. 



Golden Acre 



New, Early Round-headed Cabbage. One of the finest 



Cabbages Grown. Eight to Ten Days Earlier than 



Early Market. 



OCQ 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, pkt. 20c. ; oz. $1.00; % lb. $3.50; transportation 

 paid. 



Henderson's Early Summer 



A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage 

 266 Introdiced by us years ago; it is widely known and largely 

 grown. As an ideal second-early Cabbage it continues to hold 

 its place. It forms large, flat, round, solid heads, weighing usually 8 

 to 10 lbs. each. The quality is excellent, tender and sweet. It comes 

 in about ten days later than Early Jersey Wakefield, but is more than 

 double in weight. Henderson's Early Summer will be found a far 

 better sort than when we originally offered it, owing to continuous and 

 careful selection. Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 75c.; }i lb. $2.00; lb. $7.00; 

 transportation paid. 



Henderson's Succession 



The Most Celebrated Second-Early Variety in 

 Cultivation 



Introduced by Peter Henderson Co. in 1888 



274 Henderson's Succession Cabbage we consider one 

 of our most valuable contributions to horticulture. It 

 stands today unrivaled as a second-early or main crop sort, 

 and few vegetables have held their place in public esteem for 

 so many years. The heads become solid long before they are 

 fully grown, so that heads of satisfactory size may be cut long 

 before it is at its best. This habit, combined with its ability 

 to stand well without splitting, makes it available for use over 

 a longer season than any variety we nkow. and the best to 

 use where only one sort is grown. 



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 sure crop- 

 ping quality, it possesses all the fine 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 be obtained direct from us. {See illus- 

 tration.) 



Price. pKt. 15c; oz. $1.00; H lb. $3.00; lb. $10 00: trans- 

 portation paid. 



"Too much cannot be saod about Henderson's Early Market 

 Cabbage. It surely is fine. I never had such nice cabbage as I 

 had last year and if surely keeps good."

I had them all winter, in fact up to April lath stored in cold cellar."
