Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage. 



There being a good deal of seed in the market 

 raised from very poor stock, which must fail to give 

 satisfaction, having been the original introducer of 

 the Giant Cabbage, which when raised from the right 

 strain of seed, under proper cultivation, has been 

 grown to weigh over W pounds to a single plant, and 

 60 tons to the acre, I now offer to the public seed that 

 has been raised by myself, with peculiar care, all of 

 it from, extra large, extra solid heads. The Marble- 

 head Mammoth is not only the largest, but is one of 

 the most crisp and sweetest of all varieties of the 

 cabbage family, as will be seen by extracts of letters 

 to be found in my Seed Catalogue, where my custo- 

 mers state that they have raised cabbages from my 

 seed that have weighed 40, 45 and 50 lbs. each. Full 

 insructions for cultivation sent with every parcel of 

 seed. Seed per lb., $5.00 ; per ounce, 50c; per half 

 ounce, 25c. My large Seed Catalogue sent free to all 

 applicants.
