MAKE YOUR GARDEN WORK FULL TIME 



The secret of success with late plantings lies in sowing only early maturing varieties designated in our catalogue as 

 "early," and then in thinning out the plants as soon as they show above ground — instead of transplanting — so that they re- 

 ceive no check in growth. 



HENDERSONS EARLY SUMMER CABBAGE 



This peerless variety was introduced by us. it is the best second Early Cabbage, makes a large, solid, round flat 

 head averaging 8 to 10 pounds each, coming in about ten days later than Wakefield. 10c. pkt., 75c. oz.,$2.50 l/41b. 



EARLY MARKET CABBAGE 



This Danish production is highly praised by all who have grown it. Early Market Cabbage is but three or four 

 days later than our Early Jersey Wakefield, and will yield a greater crop per acre than any other early Cabbage. For 

 home use its remarkably fine quality and tenderness will be greatly appreciated. 15c. pkt., 81.00 oz., S3. 75 1/4 lb- 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE 



It comes in a few days later than Early Summer, but is of nearly double the size and is absolutely true to its type 

 under favorable conditions. We recommend it as a perfect cabbage in every respect, not only being of the largest size, 

 but of handsome color and of the finest quality. It is a safe variety for an amateur to plant, as it does well at all sea- 

 sons, and one is almost sure of getting a crop, no matter when it is planted. 15c. pkt., SI. 0<> oz., S3. 75 1/4 lb. 



HENDERSON'S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER 



The standard everywhere for quality, and the only Cauliflower that is absolutely certain to head (conditions being 

 congenial), forming a perfect snow-whit« head, averaging nine inches in diameter. Beyond question the best cauli- 

 flower for either early or late for family or market garden, for forcing or cold frames: it heads where others fail. It is 

 the earliest of all Cauliflowers. For forcing under glass during winter and spring, Henderson's Snowball is peculiarly 

 well adapted, from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely 

 grown. (.See engraving.) 25c. pkt., S4.50 oz., S15.00 14 lb. 



HENDERSON'S BIG BOSTON LETTUCE 



North, South, East or West: whether grown in the open ground for summer and fall use, in frames for spring, or 

 forced cool in greenhouses for winter use, it gives both grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing during all 

 seasons, large, buttery-yellow heads, packed with thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet and white, delight- 

 ing both the palate and the eye. It is peculiarly adapted for the late fall culture: large areas of it may be seen in the 

 vicinity of New York as late as Nov. 15th: a slight covering of salt marsh hay protects the plants from hard frosts, 

 and when cut the leaves are as fresh, bright and untinged as in midsummer. 10c. pkt., 25c- oz., 75c. 1/4 lb., $2.50 lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 

 CABBAGE. 



This famous Cabbage was introduced by us, and still retains its lead as the best first early in 

 cultivation. Among its merits may be mentioned its large size of head for an early sort, and 

 Its uniformity in producing a crop. Our seed is from highly bred selected stock and Is un- 

 equalled. 10c. Pkt., 75c. oz., S2.50 1/4 lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY 

 CHARLESTON WAKE- 

 FIELD CABBAGE 



This is the large Early Cabbage, 

 which we bred from the "Early Jer- 

 sey" Wakefield, to meet a demand for 

 i larger heading sort. 1 1 possesses all 

 < t the valuable characteristics ot the 

 parent with the advantage of the 

 heads being fifty per cent larger, 

 though a few days later. Our strain of 

 the seed is very superior. 10c. pkt., 

 75c. oz.. $2.50 1/4 lb.
