HENDERSON'S 



SECOND-EARLY 

 CABBAGE 



POINTED HEAD 



Charleston Wakefield 



{Introduced by Peter Henderson 6° Co, i-n 1802.) 



Years before its introduction by us in 1892, we began 

 selecting this variety in response to a demand for a heavier 

 and larger pointed head cabbage than our original Early 

 Jersey Wakefield. 



Charleston Wakefield, as we named it, is the very best 

 stock of pointed head cabbage grown today in every 

 respect, except that it matures about a week later than 

 Early Jersey Wakefield. The heads are twice as large 

 as its parent stock, weighing from 8 to 12 lbs. or more 

 each head. 



Charleston Wakefield is being used more and more by 

 market gardeners to follow Jersey Wakefield, as it is a 

 first rate shipping variety. Charleston Wakefield is a 

 very good keeper, and may also be planted as a second 

 crop to be ready for the market in autumn if desired.

HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL 



Early Jersey Wakefield 



(Introduced by Peter Henderson &" Co. in 1S68.) 



The Best First-Early Pointed-Head Cabbage 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late Peter 

 Henderson, still holds the lead as the best extra-early pointed- 

 head Cabbage. It is a 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. It is beyond question the best variety 

 for spring and early summer. Price, 45c. oz., $1.25 J i lb., $4.00 

 lb. 



Henderson Early Summer 



(Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1874.) 



The Best Second Early Cabbage. Large, Round Flat Heads. 



This peerless variety was named and introduced by us years 

 ago; it is widely known and largely grown. An an ideal second 



early Cabbage it still holds the palm. It forms large, flat, round, 

 solid heads, weighing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each, though with rich 

 cultivation it often gives 10 to 12 lb. heads. 



The quality is excellent, tender and crisp. It comes in about 

 ten days later than Early Jersey Wakefield and fills the gap between 

 it and Succession perfectly. It trims up neatlv and looks well on 

 the load and on the stand." Price, 50c. oz., $1.50 J^lb., $5.00 lb. 



Golden Acre 



A Money Maker for the Market Gardener — Eight to Ten Days 

 Earlier Than Copenhagen Market. The Earliest Round-Headed 

 Cabbage on the Market. 



Golden Acre Cabbage is a new early round-headed variety 

 resembling Copenhagen 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. These characteristics 

 alone will commend it to the Market Gardener, but in addition 

 it can be truthfully said that it will remain on the field for a long 

 time without bursting or bolting to seed. The consumer is sure to 

 give repeat orders for this excellent cabbage, on account of its 

 splendid flavor and tenderness. 



The regularity in shape and size of Golden Acre when seen grow- 

 ing in a large field is very noticeable, and is a delight to the eye of 

 the trucker. We have only a limited quantity to offer this year, 

 and would advise our customers to order as early as possible. (See 

 engraving.) Price, $1.00 oz., $3.50 3<£ lb., $12.00 lb. 



Copenhagen Market 



Round Heads Averaging Eight to Ten Pounds in Weight. 

 Extremely Solid, Small Core. 



Copenhagen Market Cabbage, is as its name implies of Danish 

 origin and is enthusiastically spoken of by thousands of growers in 

 all parts of the United States. The plant is comparatively small 

 with a very short stem and with few outer leaves. The leaves have 

 the very desirable habit of curving inward and folding one on the 

 top of the other making a tight, compact head. 



The plant does not require a very large space to grow in and may 

 be planted about twenty inches apart which is at least 50 per cent 

 closer than any other variety having as large a head as Copenhagen 

 Market. It is ready about the same time as Henderson's Early 

 Jersey Wakefield. Price, 60c. oz., $1.75 H lb., $6.00 lb.
