For some year.s past cUHtoniers have requested us to procure for them,
if possible, aCabbage which liad all the characterlHtics of the Early .Jersey
Wakefield but of a greater size. With this in view, we carefully Belected
from one ot our best stocks ot Wakefield a larger type, which is now so
fi.xed in its character thatwe can offer Itwith confidence to those desiring
a Cabbage of this kind. Tliis selection will average about .'•0 per cent,
larger in size than the old type ot Wakefield, and Is only two or three
davs later. Price, 10c. per pkt. ,40c per oz..$1.25per V4 lb.,f t 00 per lb.
THE CHARLESTON
Henderson's Succession Cabbage.
IS POSITIVELY THE
FINEST CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE,
Whether for Medium Early, Main Crop or Wlater use,
PERFECT la every respect.
The Succession Cabbage we consider one of our most valu-
able contributions to horticulture. It would be classed as a
8e.'ond early, coming in a tew days later than Early Summer,
but It is iinmeaHurablvBuperlor to that variety; itlsof nearly
double thesizeanil Is absolutely true to Its type under allcon-
ditions. In aildlllon to this. It has no tendency whatever to
run to 8e.'d. We can say without exaggeration that it is the
finest Cnbhnge in existence to-day: whether for medium early,
main crop orlateuselt has no equal. It is so finely bred and
BO true to type that In a field of twenty acres every head ap-
pears alike. We can recommend it either tor the market gar-
dener, trucker or private planter, as it la a perfitt cabbage in
every respe.'t, not only being of thelargt-st size, but ot hand-
some color and of the flnest quality. It lBi)nd)ably the safest
variety for an amateur to plant, as It does well at all seasons,
