 bage in cultivation. Among its merits uiay be mentioned its large size ot 

 head for an early sort, small outHlde toliuge. and its uniformity In pro- 

 ducing a crop. The heads are pyramidal In shape, having a blunted or 

 rounded peak. Our seed ot this famous Cabbage Is very choice, being

OR LARGE TYPE 

 OF WAKEFIELD. 



For some year.s past cUHtoniers have requested us to procure for them, 

 if possible, aCabbage which liad all the characterlHtics of the Early .Jersey 

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

 from one ot our best stocks ot Wakefield a larger type, which is now so 

 fi.xed in its character thatwe can offer Itwith confidence to those desiring 

 a Cabbage of this kind. Tliis selection will average about .'•0 per cent, 

 larger in size than the old type ot Wakefield, and Is only two or three 

 davs later. Price, 10c. per pkt. ,40c per oz..$1.25per V4 lb.,f t 00 per lb. 



THE CHARLESTON 



Henderson's Succession Cabbage. 



IS POSITIVELY THE 



FINEST CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE, 



Whether for Medium Early, Main Crop or Wlater use, 

 PERFECT la every respect. 



The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valu- 

 able contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a 

 8e<'ond early, coming in a tew days later than Early Summer, 

 but It is iinmeaHurablvBuperlor to that variety; itlsof nearly 

 double thesizeanil Is absolutely true to Its type under allcon- 

 ditions. In aildlllon to this. It has no tendency whatever to 

 run to 8e<'d. We can say without exaggeration that it is the 

 finest Cnbhnge in existence to-day: whether for medium early, 

 main crop orlateuselt has no equal. It is so finely bred and 

 BO true to type that In a field of twenty acres every head ap- 

 pears alike. We can recommend it either tor the market gar- 

 dener, trucker or private planter, as it la a perfitt cabbage in 

 every respe<'t, not only being of thelargt-st size, but ot hand- 

 some color and of the flnest quality. It lBi)nd)ably the safest 

 variety for an amateur to plant, as It does well at all seasons, 

 and one is almoHt sure of getting a crop, no matter when It Is 

 |>lanted. Our stocks of Cabbage of all varieties have for years 

 been the arknowleri/sed stnndnril ofexrellenre in this country, 

 and when we state that we roiiHlder Snccession to be the 

 most valuable variety that we have ever Introduced, our 

 opinion of its great nn'rit will he nppan'tit to nil. iSeecut.)
