JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE SEED. 



We have just purchased from H. A. March his 

 entire season's crop of stock seed of the Extra Ear- 

 ly Jersey Wakefield cabbage. It is my impression 

 that there is no better strain of this cabbage seed 

 to be had in the world. Notwithstanding this is 

 stock seed, so long as our supply lasts our price will 

 be as heretofore: Packet, 5c; oz., 20c; lb., $ 2 50. If 

 wanted by mail, add the usual 9c extra for postage 

 and packing. As our supply is limited, it may pay 

 you to order what you shall need for the next season, 

 at once. Our friends in the South will need to plant it 

 now— that is, wherever cabbages winter in the open 

 air. See below what friend March says in regard 

 to the seed furnished us: 



Friend Root:— We have saved the stock seed for you, and it 

 is No. 1— the choice heads of over t\\ ■■ acres of seed. D. M. Fer- 

 rv & Co. gave my cabbage and cauliflower seed a good trial, 

 and have bought over $3000 worth of me. One of the firm took 

 the trouble to come out to Puget Sound on purpose to see our 

 seed-farm and our manner of growing seed. He was so well 

 pleased that he ordered every pound we had. H. A. March.
