Second Early Cabbage. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SUMMER. This peerless Cab¬ 
bage was named and first offered for sale by us in 1874, 
every year since we have used the utmost care in the 
of heads for seed purposes, and have so improved the 
that to-day we are selling a far better strain of the 
Summer than we sent out in the year of its introduction, 
variety is about ton days later than the Jersey Wakefield, but 
being over double the size, it may bo classed ns the best second 
early Cabbage. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 3^ lb., $2.75 lb. 
EARLY WINNINGSTADT. About three weeks later than 
the early varieties. It is a distinct sort; heads pyramidal,

best. Heads large, flat, solid and of good quality. Stem

HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 
THE STANDARD EARLY CABBAGE OF AMERICA. 
This variety was first brought into general notice by the 
late Mr. Peter Henderson in his book, “Gardening for 
Profit,’’ when it was first published twenty-five years ago. Its 
merits and characteristics are now so well known as to 
hardly need repeating here; still, as our catalogue annually 
falls into the hands of thousands who have not before seen 
it, we may state that it is universally considered the best 
early Cabbage in cultivation. Among its me.rits may be 
mentioned its large size of head for an early sort, small out¬ 
side foliage, and its uniformity in producing a crop. The 
heads are pyramidal in shape, having a blunted or rounded 
peak. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. lb., $2.75 lb. 
•<Rnrl Peter Henderson done nothing else hut Introduce the Early 
Wakefield Cabbage, it would be a lasting monument to his name. 
Vo better variety is in cultivation to-day among the early kinds.

The Charleston, 
OR LARGE TYPE OP VJAKEPIELD . 
The largest and Best “first Early" Cabbage . 
For some years past customers have requested us 
to procure for them, if possible, a Cabbage which 
had all the characteristics of the Early Jersey Wake¬ 
field, 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 in its 
character vnat we can offer it with confidence to 
those desiring a Cabbage of this kind. This selec¬ 
tion will average about 50 per cent, larger in size 
than the old type of Wakefield, and is only two or 
three days later. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 
$1.00 % lb., $3.50 lb. 
“ Charleston Wakefield cannot be beat for a solid-heading 
Cabbage. Last spring I sold a lot to one grocer and be 
said thev were the best Cabbages that he had handled 
during the winter."
