PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



HENDERSON'S 



Original Early Jersey Wakefield. 



THE BEST FIRST EARLY CABBAGE . 



This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late 

 Peter Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best 

 extra early variety in cultivation, and is more largely grown 

 than all other First Early Cabbages combined. It is the good, 

 old reliable, always depended upon for its uniformity in earli- 

 ness and crop. It has a good sized head for so early a variety 

 and the small outside leaves allow it to be closely planted; 

 the heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded 

 peak. We have the original stock, well selected, and it has 

 no equal. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 30c. oz., $1.00 { lb., $3.60 

 lb. 



"/ have been growing your Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage for a number of 

 years and think it my duty to tell you about it. It takes the lead in Early Cabbage 

 in this part of the country. I present you with a photo of my field."

HENDERSON'S 



Charleston or Large Wakefield. 



THE BEST LARGE EARLY CABBAGE . 



Several years ago, our customers requested us -to procure 

 for them, if possible, a Cabbage which had all the character- 

 istics of the Early Jersey Wakefield, but of greater size.' With 

 this in view, we carefully selected from one of our best stocks 

 of Wakefield a larger type, which is so fixed in its character 

 that it is now largely grown by those desiring a Cabbage of 

 this kind. This selection will average about 50 per cent larger 

 in size than the old type of Wakefield, and is only a few days 

 later. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 J lb., $3.60 lb. 



"Your Charleston Wakefield is one of the best and largest Early Cabbages I 

 ever grew." AARON GRUBB, Palmyra, Pa. 



"Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing 8, 

 10 and 12 lbs., as solid as a rock. Out of 800 only 20 failed to head; it seems to 

 be a cabbage of great vitality, and the worms and lice damage it but little."

HENDERSON'S 



Early Spring Cabbage. 



A ROUND, FLAT-HEADED, EXTRA EARLY. 

 Coming in with the Large Wakefield and Yielding One-third 

 More than any other Extra Early. 



This is the first early flat Cabbage, and is the most popular 

 for early market wherever grown, the flat shape giving it an 

 advantage over the conical shaped sorts. It is of the Early 

 Summer type, but about one-fifth smaller; it has a short stem 

 and only four to five outside leaves, and these so small that it 

 may be planted twenty-one inches apart; 13,500 to the acre. 

 It is ready fully a week earlier than any sort like it, and being 

 flat, its value can be readily appreciated. It is a sure, solid 

 header, always producing a crop of large, uniform heads which 

 seldom burst. It is extensively grown in all sections of the 

 country, and is everywhere successful. It has the peculiarity 

 of heading firmly at an early stage in its growth, so that the 

 finest Cabbage, though small, can be obtained long before it has 

 attained its mature size. Its shape and large yield per acre make 

 it particularly valuable for truckers. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. 

 oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.60 lb. 



"1 planted Inst March about \ of an acre of your Early Flat Head (Spring) 

 Cabbage, which I raised under glass. The result was more satisfactory than any 

 other variety 1 have ever cultivated." M. E. HARDY, Chase City, Va. 



New Early Market Cabbage. 



THE BEST EARLY ROUND-HEADED CABBAGE. 



This Danish production represents the highest achievement 

 in Cabbage breeding, and is the best early round-headed Cabbage 

 we have ever grown or seen. In uniformity to type and even- 

 ness in early maturing it is a marvel. Every row and every 

 head in a row look as nearly alike as if all had been turned out 

 of a mold. Its evenness in maturing will in itself prove a; 

 recommendation to our customers as they will easily see the! 

 great importance of being able to clear off the ground at one 

 cutting, especially where room is required for a second crop. 

 The plants are of compact stocky growth, short-stemmed with 

 small in-folding outer leaves enclosing large solid ball-shaped 

 heads which average about ten pounds in weight, and are of the-, 

 finest quality, smooth with fine veins and small core. New Early 

 Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our Early 

 Wakefield. Can be planted as close as Early Spring (21 inches- 

 apart) and will yield a greater crop per acre than any other 

 early Cabbage of which we know. For marketing we predict 

 this Cabbage has a great future. Its remarkably fine quality 

 and tenderness whether cooked or sliced for slaw or salad will 

 win friends wherever tried, and its handsome saleable appearance 

 and uniformity in maturing the crop will cause it to be in great 

 demand. (See cut). Price, 15c. pkt., 76c. oz., $2.50 } lb.
