132 Henderson's Succession 



Does Well in All Seasons; a Sure Cropper 



A Becond early variety, coming in a few days later than Early Sum- 

 mer, but it is superior to that variety. It is of nearly double the size, 

 and is absolutely true to its type. It is so finely bred that in a field of 

 twenty acres every head appears alike. 



It is a very handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as 

 well as high bred in quality. The heads are deep and very firm; a long 

 keeping variety. Its large size, great productiveness, reliability, excel- 

 lent flavor, sure cropping and long keeping qualities make it one of the 

 best for general use. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 40 cents; ounce, 75 cents; 

 quarter pound, $2.25; pound, $8.00, postpaid.
