EXTRA EARLY and EARLY VARIETIES 
260 EARLY JERSEY 
254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 
(Henderson’s) 
The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex- 
cellent quality, quite free from the 
coarse rankness so commonly associated 
with Cabbage. Henderson’s Charleston 
Wakefield is larger, but fully equal in 
quality to any of its class and admirably 
suited to succeed the very early sorts. 
Price, pkt., 10c; 0z., 60c; % Ib., $1.75. 
261 GREEN ACRE (NEW) 
Best described as a Green Golden Acre. 
The plants are very uniform, compact, 
and have few outer leaves. The heads are 
slightly larger than Golden Acre and _re- 
quire a few days longer to mature. The 
outstanding feature of Green Acre is the 
green color of the leaves, especially the 
inner leaves which make up the head. 
This characteristic is very desirable because 
the green color gives the heads a very fresh 
appearance over a long period of time. 
Price, pkt., 25c.; oz:, $1.50, 
269 GOLDEN ACRE 
Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round- 
headed variety resembling Early Market 
in shape and type, but is smaller. It is 
also eight to ten days earlier than that 
well-known variety. It will remain on 
- the field fora long time without bursting. 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 90c; 1% lb., $2.75. 
EARLYKROP (Henderson’s) 
One of the earliest round-headed Cab- 
bages on the market. It finishes with 
the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike 
that type, it remains in perfect condition 
on the field for a long time without 
bursting or bolting to seed. This is a 
very desirable quality for the home 
gardener who wants his crop to extend 
over a long period of time. 
Price, pkt., 25c; oz., 90c; % lb., $2.75. 
WAKEFIELD 
(Henderson’s Original) 
The Best First-Early, Pointed- 
Head Cabbage 
The heads are pyramidal in shape, hav- 
ing a blunted or rounded peak. It is 
beyond question the best variety for 
spring and early summer in the private 
garden. Its first appearance brings a 
welcome change from the hard-headed 
winter sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield 
is attractive in appearance and essentially 
good in quality. 
Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; 4 Ib., $1.75. 
273 PREMIER (Henderson’s) 
262 
(See Color Plate Page 6) 
It is the earliest of all the round-headed 
varieties, fully 3 to 4 days earlier than 
Earlykrop. The head is a trifle smaller, 
the plant is more compact; it can there- 
fore be planted closer than other sorts, 
so that quality cabbage can be grown 
in even the smallest garden. The heads 
are very firm, and the quality is de- 
licious, tender and succulent. 
Price, pkt., 25c; oz., $1:25. 
EARLY MARKET (Henderson’s) 
The plant is small, with short stem, and 
few outer leaves. These have the ex- 
cellent habit of curving inward, thus 
providing protection to the head. ‘ 
For home use its remarkably fine 
quality and tenderness will be greatly 
appreciated. 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 full size. 
Price, pkt., 15¢; 0z., 90c; 34 Ib., $2.75. 
“Vellows” Resistant Varieties 
267 RESISTANT COPENHAGEN 
MARKET (Early) 
This ‘“‘yellows’’ resistant strain matures 
about the same time as our ordinary Copen- 
hagen Market, and the heads are about the 
same size. Where ‘‘yellows’’ is prevalent, 
growers may depend on the variety to pro- 
duce an early crop of excellent round heads. 
Price, pkt,, 25c; 0z., $1.00; 14 Ib., $3.00.

263 MARION MARKET 
(Second Early) 
One of the first resistant strains to be 
developed. Marion Market has proven 
very profitable for many growers because 
of its dependability and heavy yields, even 
on yellows infected soil. The plants and 
heads are larger than Copenhagen Market. 
Price, pkts, 10c; oz., 90c; 4% Ib., $2.75. 
275 RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE 
(Extra Early) 
This strain has proven highly re- 
sistant to ‘‘yellows’’ and has made 
it possible for growers to produce a 
good crop of early Cabbage in many 
areas infested with this disease. The 
heads closely resemble our strain of 
regular Golden Acre, but mature a 
day or two later. 
Price, pkt., 25c; oz., ~ $1.00; 
4 Ib., $3.00. 
277 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER 
No. 8 (Late) 
This is a ‘‘yellows’’ resistant strain 
of the Danish Ballhead type. An 
excellent late variety for storage _ 
and shipping. The plants are large 
and very hardy. The heads are 
large, practically round and solid.
