Henderson's Succession Cabbage
The MOST CELEBRATED SECOND-EARLY VARIETY in CULTIVATION
The Finest Cabbage for General Use. The Delight of the Amateur
Enormous Heads of Exceedingly Tender Quality
Few vegetables have held their place in public esteem for so
many years as Henderson 's Succession Cabbage.
It stands today unrivalled as a second-early or main-crop sort.
The heads become solid long before they are fully grown, so that
though immature., heads of satisfactory size may be cut long before
it is at its best. This quality, combined with its ability to stand
well without splitting, makes it available for use over a longer
season than any variety we know, and the best to use where only
one sort is grown.
We introduced this variety in 1888, and its appearance attracted
instant attention. Since then there have been many attempts
at imitating it, but the enormous increase of our sales, and the
periodically unsatisfied demand for our stock, give testimony to
the acknowledged superiority of Henderson's Succession over all
would-be competitors. It stands today a money maker for the
trucker, and the delight of the amateur.
It is a second- early variety coming in immediately after the first-
early sorts. It greatly exceeds in size any variety in its season.
Without doubt it is the best second-early Cabbage in existence, and
is so finely bred, so free from coarse veining of the leaves, that, in
addition to its reliability and sure cropping quality, it possesses all
the fine qualities of the very best earlier varieties. (See cut.) Price,
10c. pkt., 45c. oz., $1.40 \i lb., $5.00 lb.
HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE RECEIVES NOTHING
BUT PRAISE WHEREVER GROWN
"I bedded the ounce of Succession Cabbage with three handfuls of the sheep
manure and in two days and a half the whole bed was up."
JOHN CAMPBELL, Key West, Fla.
"Your Succession Cabbage is the best I ever planted, and produced more tons
to the acre than any other. Every seed produced a plant and every plant a head."
J. W. RU MM ELLS, Jr., Nichols, Iowa.
"I raised 20 acres of your Succession Cabbage last year, and got highest prices
in county." EARLE W. SMALLEY, Muscatine, Iowa.
"The Henderson Succession Cabbage we had last season were very fine, and
they were as perfect as the picture in the catalogue."
JOHN CIEVTAT, Jr., Mobile, Ala.
"Henderson's Succession Cabbage is the finest and best Cabbage I ever planted."
A. J. HAWSEY, Clinton, La.
"One specimen of Henderson's Succession Cabbage weighed 12.4 lbs., 3 others
weighed 32 lbs. I was awarded 1st prize at the agricultural show. The show
was a very good advertisement for your firm." '
J. R. SHEPHERD, Hon. Sec, St. Kilts, B. W. I.
"The Succession Cabbage I got from you last spring were the best I have seen,
not only to the eye but to the taste." GEO. SINCLAIR, Clayton, Wash.

superior." S. W. COFFIN, Ashland, N. J.

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
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 file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
