PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. 



HENDERSON'S "ORIGINAL STOCK."' 

 SELECTED 



Early Jersey Wakefield caDHage. 



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

 extolled it in his book, ''Gardening tor Profit.'' That was nearly twenty-five 

 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 considered the best early 

 cabbage in cultivation. Among its merits may be mentioned its large size of head, 

 tor 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.) 

 Price, 5c. perpkt., 25c. per oz., 75c. per % lb., $2.50 per lb.

HENDERSON S EARLY JERSEY V/AKE11HLD CAbHA 



"THE CHARLESTON, " or Large Type of Wakefield. 



THE LARGESTJAND 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 of our best stocks of Wakefield a larger 

 type, which is now so fixed that we tan 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. Price 10c. per pkt.; 30c. per oz.; $1.00 per i lb.; $3.00 per lb. 



Our cabbage crop — too acres — is in fine condition, and vour CHARLESTON Wakrmfld growing faster than any cabbage in the country, 

 and all look as if they were cast in one mould. — GERATV 4 TOWLES, Young's Island, S. C.

Henderson's "Autumn King 77 Cabbage. 



THIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation that it is the finest late Cab- 

 bage in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper ; it produces enormous, solid 

 heads of that dark shade of green that is most desirable in a Cabbage, and has such small outer leaves 

 that it can be planted much closer together than the ordinary late sorts, and can be relied upon 

 to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact of its producing so few 

 outer leaves and going all to head. A distinctive feature of the Autumn King is the peculiarly crimped 

 leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enables it to be distinguished anywhere We are sorry to 

 find that some other seedsmen are offering this same stock of Cabbage under tlue name of " World Beater." In 

 our trial grounds during the past two season*, we had samples of the Autumn King and the ' World Beater" 

 side by side, and they proved to be identical. As we sent the Autumn King out seven years ago, and the " World 

 Beater" was offered three years later, we claim tlie credit of tlie introduction of this, tlie grandest of all Winter 

 Cabbages. The engraving gives a good idea of its appearance. (See cut ) 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 X lb., $3.00 lb.

SA V : — 



"The Autumn King Cabbage is the best late 

 variety for this country 1 have ever struck. The 

 water was all over my garden the gth of Novem- 

 ber, and I was obliged to gather the Flat Dutch 

 varieties, but the Autumn King is still out and is 

 in good condition. The water being over the heads 

 did not make them burst. It is a King among 

 Cabbage,"
