Summary[edit]

Description

HENDERSON'S
EARLY MARKET CABBAGE
This Danish production is highly praised by all who have grown
it. Its uniformity to type is marvellous. 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. (See cut.)
Price, 15c. pkt, 4 pkts. for 50c, 75c. oz., $2.50 % lb.
"Your Early Market Cabbage is certainly very fine."
Mrs. M. E. KING, Meadows, Idaho.
"The .4, H.- of Early Market Cabbage purchased from you
proved a great success. We planted it same day as Charleston
and cut it 4 days earlier. It also did well with me as a mid-
summer variety."
F. BOCKHOLDT, 3615 W. 71st St., Chicago, III.
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 con-
tinues 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 continuous
and careful selection. Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25
.4 lb., $4.50 lb.

HENDERSON'S ORIGINAL
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD
The Best First- Early Pointed- Head Cabbage
This Cabbage, though introduced years ago by the late Peter
Henderson, still holds its undisputed lead as the best extra-early
pointed-head Cabbage, and is more largely grown than all other
first-early Cabbages combined. It is the good, old reliable;
and may be depended upon for uniformity in earliness and crop.
The head is large enough for so early a variety and the small
outside leaves enable it to be planted closely; the heads are
pyramidal in shape, having 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.
It has a delicacy of flavor rarely associated with Cabbage, and
properly cooked may be made one of the most palatable and appe-
tizing dishes, and worthy of a place on any table. (See cut.) Price,
10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20 .4 lb., $4.00 lb.
"Lester Bros, of Des Moines, Iowa, had the best Cabbage for summer use grown
from your seed that I ever saw. Look up their last year's orders, and send me the
same amount and kind of Cabbage they ordered of you last year. I want some of
the same kind of seed (it was Early Jersey Wakefield)."
JAMES HETHERSHOW, Des Moines, Iowa.
" Think your seeds the best we ever planted. Our Cabbage last year was splendid,
all headed fine which surprised us, as we were told that the seasons were so short
here that we would not have any Cabbage at all. We were pleased to sell Cabbage to
the same ones who said it." Mrs. GRACE JENSEN, Island Pond, Vt.
HENDEKSON'S
CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD
Second- Early Pointed-Head Cabbage
The pointed-head Cabbages are preferable to the larger flat
kinds. When used fresh from the garden they are of excellent 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, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 % lb., $4.50 lb.
" Your Charleston Wakefield Cabbage is a wonder, many heads weighing 8, 10
and 12 lbs., as solid as a rock." O. B. STAUFFER, Rocky Ford,
Colo.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
