erer saw or lasted, I must sail this Is the very best. I set out quite a large bell, and M heads were all I

Henderson’s “New York’’ 
Is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little 
tendency to run to seed. We have had it, time and again, 
18 inches in diameter, and weighing nearly four pounds, with 
heads almost as solid as an Early Summer Cabbage, which in 
general form it somewhat resembles. The variety blanches itself 
naturally, is crisp, tender and of excellent flavor, and always free 
from bitterness. The outside color is distinct. It is not a forcing 
variety, but is one of the best for summer use ever introduced. (See cut.)
