All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from carefully selected stocks, and 

 it is impossible to get better at any price. 



In this neighborhood early Cabbage seed should be sown in hot- 

 beds during February or JIarch. When large enough the plants should 

 be transplanted into cold frames, and as early as the ground is in fit 

 condition they should be planted in the garden, in rows about two 

 feet apart and about IS inches in the row. The late varieties should 

 be sown about the first of May, and set out in the garden in June and 

 July. As these grow larger than the early varieties, they should be 

 planted in rows about three feet apart and about two feet in the row. 

 1 oz. to 1,500 plants. % lb. of seed in beds to transplant upon an acre. 



FIRST EARLY SORTS. 

 Earl-r Spring or Flat Parisian — The great value of this Extra Early 



Cabbage is that it is a true flat-headed sort. Planted on the 



same day as the Early Jersey Wakefield 

 with it and produced heads twice the 



•weight of Wakefield. It is very solid and 



regular in shape, has few outside leaves 



and possesses a very fine texture and fla- 

 vor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; ^4 lb. 60c; 1 lb 52.25 



Currie's Early Market — Comparing it -with 



Jersey Wakefield, we find it earlier than 



that standard sort, besides having a 



much larger and finer head, -with few loose 



outside leaves, and maj' with advantage be 



"grown throughout the entire season. In 



form the head is conical, like all early va- 

 rieties. Pkt. 5e; oz. 20c; 2 ozs. 35c; \i lb. 



60c; lib $2.25 



Currie's Eclipse — The earliest of all large 



Cabbages, and while it is considerably 



larger than Henderson's Early Summer, it 



is fully two weeks earlier than that vari- 

 ety. The heads grow very uniform In size, 



with few loose leaves, remarkably solid, 



very tender, and of the finest quality. The 



veins and mid-ribs of leaves are also very 



much smaller than other varieties. Color 



dark green. The Eclipse is all that can be 



ilestred as an early Cabbage, and it has the 



further merit of being a valuable sort for 



main crop. The stem is very short; that, 



-coupled with the compact habit of its 



growth, makes it valuable, inasmuch as 



many more Cabbages can be planted on an 



acre than most large-headed sorts. Pkt.

Alpha — Its general character is that of Flat 



Dutch, but earlier, and remarkable for its 



solidity and freedom from superfluous 



■leaves. The heads are from six to eight 



diameter, and are rarely more than six 



inches from the ground. In comparison with Early Jer- 

 sey Wakefield sown and ^transplanted at the same time, 



it produces heads fit for marketing several days before 



that famous early Cabbage. Pkt. 5c:. oz. 20e: % lb 



60c; 1 lb. ...I.... 52.25 



Express) — Probably the earliest Cabbage in cultivation. It 

 is smaller than the Wakefield, but comes in four or five 

 days earlier. The heads are very solid and firm, uniform 

 in size and of fine flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c: 2 ozs. 25c- 

 14 lb. 45c; 1 lb 51.50
