Marblehead Cabbage Seed. 



O TONE MASON CABBAGE.— I have received numerous let- 

 O lers Irom farmers residing in Canada and all the Northern, 

 Middle and W. siern Slates, who purchased seed last season, ex- 

 pressing the highest satisfaction with this Cabbage — its reliability 

 for heading, the large size of the head, the peculiar sweetness 

 and hardness of the head, and first-rate keeping qualities. A larse 

 number took the first premiums at Ihe Fairs of their respective 

 counties A number write that every plant set a handsome head ; 

 one that be sold $50 worth from less than a seventeenth of an, 

 acre of land. 1 have copied a number of these letters into my 

 Seed Catalogue. 



MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH DRUMHEAD.— Numbers have 

 written me of their success with this monster varety ; that they 

 raised cabbages weighing from 25 to 45 lbs. — the general wonder 

 of the community. They have been raised weighing 62 lbs. I 

 regret that I have I ut a limited supply of seed this season. 1 will 

 till orders as long as it lasts. 



Stone Mason Cabbage, per ounce, I prepaying postage. 25 cts. ; 

 per lb., 4(2. 67. MarbUhead Mammoth, per package of about I00O 

 seeds, 25 cents. Hubbard Squash, per package, 12 cents.
