E¥£OTT1IHG FOIR THE GARDEN-Vegetable Seeds 
HENDERSON’S 
Early Market Cabbage 
This Danish production is highly praised by all who have grown 
it. Its uniformity to type is marvelous. Every row and every 
head in the row look as nearly alike as if all had been turned out of 
a mold. The plant is small, with short stem, and few outer 
leaves. These have the excellent habit of curving inward, thus 
providing protection to the head, and so effectually economizing 
space that it may be planted 21 inches apart — at least 50 per 
cent, closer than any variety with a head of similar size. 
Early Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our 
Early Jersey Wakefield, and will yield a greater crop per acre 
than any other early Cabbage. 
For home use its remarkably fine quality and tenderness will 
be greatly appreciated. The whole plant is well bred. There 
is an entire absence of coarse veins and leaves, and it has the 
quality peculiar to some of the best sorts, of hardening the head 
before it has attained its mature size. Price, 10c. pkt., 3 pkts. 
for 26c., $1.00 oz., $3.50 }4 lb. 
“/ raised Henderson's Early Market Cabbage last year, and found it the 
finest cabbage I ever grew. It averaged 15, lbs. to the head and I had several 
that weighed 22 lbs.

HENDERSON’S 
Early Summer Cabbage 
A Splendid Second-Early Cabbage. Large, Round, 
Flat Heads, 8 to 10 Pounds Each. 
This peerless variety was named and introduced by us years 
ago; it is widely known and largely grown. As an ideal second-: 
early Cabbage it continues to hold its place. It forms large,’ 
flat, round, solid heads, weighing usually 8 to 10 lbs. each. The 
quality is excellent, tender and sweet. It comes in about ten 
days later than Early Jersey Wakefield, but is more than double 
in weight. Henderson’s Early Summer will be found a far 
better sort than when we originally offered it, owing to con-' 
tinuous and careful selection. Price, 10c. pkt., 86c. oz., $3.20 
lb., $12.00 lb. 
"I have bought your seeds for my cabbage crop, for a number of years, and 
have always had good seed, true to type. Buyers say my cabbage is the best 
drawn to thetn." 
April 12, 1917. OSCAR GRIMBLE, Lyndonville, N. Y. I 
“I would like to stale that more than one mayi has come to me and asked how 
it was that my cabbages grew so large and their' s came to nothing. I told them 
of Peter Henderson b* Co. They never fail me."

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR STRAIN OF 
Words of Praise 
D anish Ball Head, or Holland Cabbage 
This type of winter Cabbage has become very popular of late years on account of its unequaled keeping 
qualities, as well as for the great solidity and weight of the heads; it is a strong, vigorous grower, “a little 
leggy” but producing large, round, compact heads, almost as hard as iron, weighing when trimmed fully 
one-fourth more than any other Cabbage of equal size; in consequence, it keeps in choice condition until 
spring. For boiling, slaw, sauerkraut, etc., it is unsurpassed, being crisp, tender and sweet. It seems to 
grow luxuriantly on all soils and under most conditions, withstanding hot, dry weather, and does not rot 
from the effects of wet seasons, and the heads do not burst. Our strain of Danish Ball Head Cabbage 
yields a larger number of solid heads than any other. This is the testimony of almost every large grower of 
winter Cabbage who has grown it. (See engraving). Price, 10c. pkt., 86c. oz., $3.20 lb., $12.00 lb. 
"/ wish to say that the Cabbage grown from your Danish Ball Head Seed was the best Cabbage I ever grew." 
JOHN W. HOLLIS, Townsend, Del. 
"I raised two acres of Danish Ball Head Cabbage from your seed that gave me 33 tons. It was the finest Cabbage drawn to market 
here; they were more brittle and the finest grained of any in the market." 
BARTON BOUGLASS, East Bloomfield, N. Y. 
"Enclosed find order for 
Henderson's Danish Ball 
Head Cabbage Seed. I have 
harvested twenty-six tons 
Per acre from seed pur- 
chased of you. Two years 
ago I did not have Quite 
enough plants from your 
seeds, on account of bad 
weather, and I purchased 
some plants of others with 
the result that I had a lot of 
cabbage, not Danish, that 
would not keep. I have used 
your seeds for twelve years 
and would not change."

"I wish to say that 
Henderson's Danish Ball 
Head is fine. It is the best 
cabbage I ever grew." 
Mrs. F. JANSEN,

"My son, whom I wrote 
you about last spring, did 
fine. He made three hun¬ 
dred dollars on a lot 180x 
190, with Henderson's Dan¬ 
ish Ball Head Cabbage for 
the market. The cabbage 
was as clean as a pin, as we 
sprayed it."

"I secured a quantity of 
Henderson's Danish Ball 
Head Cabbage from you, 
which was most satisfactory. 
I want some more of the 
same seed."

"I have harvested 353 
tons of Henderson's Danish 
Ball Head Cabbage from 
your seed. The crop came 
from a twenty-five acre 
field."

"The ‘Country Gentle¬ 
man' collection of vegetable 
seeds I ordered fro?n you in 
the spring, gave very satis¬ 
factory results, and I am 
having a fine garden from 
every kind I planted."
