j-JENDERSON'S ORIGINAL EARLY JERSEY 
WAKEFIELD CABBAGE. 
- Tho Rest FIRST 1larly, -- 
This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late 
Peter Henderson, stills 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. Among its merits may also be mentioned its 
large size of head for so early a variety and the small outside 
foliage, allowing it to be closely planted; the heads are pyra¬ 
midal in shape, having a blunted or rounded peak. We believe 
our selected stock has no equal. ( See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt., 
30c. oz., $1.00 i lb., $3.00 lb. 
“Had Peter Henderson done nothing else but introduce the Early Wakefield 
Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. No better variety is in 
cultivation to-day among the early kinds .”— Country Gentleman. 
“ Your Early Wakefield Cabbage I find of superior merit; they head up beau¬ 
tifully into creamy cone-shaped heads of splendid flavor with scarcely any outside 
leaves , and long standing without cracking open or decaying.” 
C. J. HOOVER, Morristown, N. J.

For some years past customers have 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 now so fixed in its char¬ 
acter that we can offer it with confidence to 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., 35c. oz., $1.00 { lb., $3.25 lb. 
“ 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 .” 
O. B. STAUFFER, Rocky Ford, Colo. 
“ Your Cabbage Seed proved very fine with me last season, as it always has 
done, and I want yours and no other.” — E. V. THOMPSON, Louisville, Ky.

MINIATURE MARROW 
A SMALL . . . 
EXTRA EARLY 
CABBAGE 
OF DELICIOUS 
QUALITY! 
TDEOPLE who never cared for Cabbage before are in- 
fatuated with the table qualities of this unique little 
variety, the flavor being peculiarly mild and delicious, while 
the tenderness of the fine-grained heads is unequalled. 
The plants grow scarcely larger than a good-sized Lettuce, 
seldom spreading over a foot of ground, enabling them to 
be closely planted; the heads are of a rounded, cone shape, 
5 to 6 inches in diameter, and the leaves comprising the 
head are of unusually fine texture. We do not suppose this 
variety will ever be profitable to grow for market, where size 
is a selling point, but for the home garden, where delicate 
quality is appreciated, we predict this little gem will be 
grown every year where once used. It grows and heads 
quickly and may be had about as early as Jersey Wakefield, 
and two or three successive sowings, at intervals of a 
month, would enable a supply of this delicious Cabbage to be 
enjoyed during summer and fall. {See cut.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 £ lb., $5.00 lb. 
“Your Miniature Marrow Cabbage we find everything you claim for it, 
wonderfully tender and of delicate flai'or even during the hot, dry weather; 
the little heads are just the right size for boiling .”— WM. G. BROWN, 
Springfield, Mass. 
" I cannot forego the expression of my appreciation of your little Cabbage, 
Miniature Al arrow; even my neighbors, who came in fora share of them, are 
unlimited in their praises.” — C. G. J. ALDEN, Hawks Park, Fla.
