VEGETABLE SEEDS 



CABBAGE 



EARLY AND 

 MID SEASON 



CULTURE. — For earliest crop start seed in hotbed in February, cover seed one 

 half inch. Transplant in A pril, eighteen inches opart in rov/s and two feel between 

 rows. For late crop start seeds in May or June outdoors in good rich soil and 

 transplant in July. 



254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 



(Henderson's) 



The pointed-head Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat 

 kinds. When used fresh from the garden they are of excellent 

 quality, quite free from the coarse rankness so commonly as- 

 sociated with Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston Wakefield is 

 larger, but fully equal in quality to any of its class and ad- 

 mirably suited to succeed the very early sorts. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; % lb. Si. 50; transportation paid. 



259 EARLYKROP (Henderson's) 



The earliest round-headed Cabbage on the market. It finishes 

 with the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike that type, it re- 

 mains in perfect condition on the field for a long time without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a very desirable quality 

 for the home gardener who wants his crop to extend over a 

 long period of time. 



Price, pkt. 20c; oz. 75c; M lb. $2.25; transportation paid. 



260 EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 



(Henderson's Original) 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



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. (See illnsiraiion.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; }4 lb. Si. 50; transportation paid. 



262 EARLY MARKET 



(Henderson's) 



The plant is small, with short stem, and 

 few outer leaves. These have the excel 

 lent habit of curving inward, thus pro- 

 viding protection to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine 

 quality and tenderness \vill 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. 



Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 60c; 

 14 lb. SI. 75; transportation 

 paid. 



266 EARLY SUMMER (Henderson's) 



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. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. SOc; H lb. Si. 50; transportation paid. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round-headed variety re- 

 sembling Early Market in shape and type, but is smaller. It 

 is also eight to ten days earlier than that well known variety. 

 It will remain on the field for a long time without bursting or 

 bolting to seed. 



Price, pkt. 20c; oz. SOc; 14 lb. §2.50; transportation paid. 



273 PREMIER (Henderson's 1932 Novelty) 



In order to prove superior to the number of high quality varieties 

 of cabbage already on the market, a new introduction must 

 possess superior merits. Several years trial convinces us that 

 Premier is superior in every way. 



It is the earliest of all the round headed varieties fully 3 to 4 

 days earlier than Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, the 

 plant is more compact; it can therefore, be planted closer than 

 other sorts, so that quality cabbage can be grown in even the 

 smallest garden. The heads are very firm, and the quality is 

 delicious, tender and succulent. (See colored plate page 20.) 



Price, pkt. 25c; oz. S1.25. 



274 SUCCESSION (Henderson's) 



The Most Celebrated Second-Early Variety 



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. 



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 cropping 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 



illustralion.) 



Price, pkt.lOc; oz. 75c; J< lb. $2.25' 

 ransportation paid. 



Cabbage is a nutritious food, and rich in vitamins A, B and C.
