HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



The first notoriety that this variety received was when our Mr. Peter 

 Henderson extolled it in his book, " Gardening for Profit." That was some 

 thirty years ago, and since then it has deservedly taken the first place as 

 an early market variety. To most growers the merits and characteristics 

 of this variety are so well-known as to hardly need repeating here but for 

 the benefit of those who may not be familiar with it, we would say that it is 

 universally admitted to be the earliest cabbage in cultivation. -Among its 

 merits may be mentioned its large head for such an early sort, small outside 

 foliage, and its uniformity in producing a crop. The heads are pyramidal in 

 shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. (See cut.) 36c. per oz., 90c. per 

 i lb., $3.25 per lb. (25 lb. and up, $3.00 per lb.) 



THE "CHARLESTON" 



or Large 

 Type of 



WAKEFIELD. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 



The Largest and Best "First Early" Cabbage. 



Some of our customers in the South requested us to procure for them, if 

 possible, a Cabbage which had all the characteristics of the Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, but of a greater size. With this in view, we carefully selected 

 from one or our best stocks of Wakefield a larger type, which is now fixed, and 

 we offer it with confidence to truckers desiring a cabbage of this kind; this 

 selection will average about 50 per cent, larger in size than the old type, and 

 is only two or three days later. 30c. oz., 90c. J lb., $3.25 lb. (25 lb. and 

 up, $3.00 lb.) 



Young's Island, S. C. 

 You have the greatest advertisement in the world right here and at Martin's Point, 

 S. C, with Mr. Towles. Cabbage from seed supplied by — are heading up not as^large 

 as your single fist, 200 to 250 to the barrel, the farmers having to put 5 laths instead 

 of four on the side of the crate to keep the cabbage from falling through the slats. 

 Against this petty showing for — cabbage, I have planted right alongside the rail- 

 road track and spurs, 225 acres of your Large Type Wakefield, your Early Spring 

 and Succession, making heads that will run 25 to 40 to the barrel crate.

HENDERSON S EARLY SPRING CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SUMMER CABBAGE. 



This peerless Cabbage was named and first offered for sale by us in 1874, 

 and every year since we have used the utmost care in the selection of 

 heads for seed purposes, and have so improved the variety that to-day we 

 are selling a far better strain of the Early Summer than we sent out in the 

 year of its introduction. This variety is about ten days later than the 

 jersey Wakefield, but being over double the size, it may be classed as the 

 best second early Cabbage. 25c. oz., 80c. ^ lb., $2.75 lb. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SPRING CABBAGE. 



'Earliest Flat Heading Variety." "As Early as the Large Wakefield." 



Beware of Many Spurious Varieties Sold as Early Spring. 



Introduced by us in 1895 is now acknowledged to be the earliest flat- 

 heading variety known. Its great value is its extreme earliness, coming in 



as it does with the large Wakefield, and at the same time producing heads but little smaller than our well known Early Summer. It 

 is a sure solid header, always producing a crop of large uniform heads which seldom "burst." Its short stem, together with the 

 few outside leaves, make it possible to be planted very close together. It is very extensively grown in all sections of the country, 

 and is always pronounced a great success. Every trucker will do well to give this a thorough trial. Do not confound our Early 



Spring with many other so-called varieties sold by other seeds- 

 men. The genuine can only be procured from us direct; we do 

 not sell to dealers. (See. cut.) 30c. oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.50 lb. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



" The Most Celebrated Second Early " 

 " The Grandest Cabbage in Existence " 



This variety introduced by us several years ago has gained an 

 unparalleled reputation as a second early and late. While it 

 matures a little later than our Early Summer, it produces a solid 

 head and a very uniform crop. We can say without exaggera- 

 tion that it is the finest cabbage in existence to-day; whether for 

 medium early, main crop or late use, it has no equal. It is so 

 finely bred and so true to type that in a field of twenty acres 

 every head appears alike. 



It is a very sure header and seldom " bursts " or shoots to 

 seed. It has been grown extensively for years by the most crit- 

 ical truckers, hence it is too well known to need an elaborate 

 description. Our stock is very carefully grown from selected 

 heads only, and will be found fully as good now as it has been in 

 past years. (See cut.) 30c. oz., 90c. i lb., $3.26 lb.
