All our Cabbage Seeds are saved from carefully 

 selected stocks, and it is impossible to get better 

 at any price. 



Early Cabbage Seed should be sown in hot-beds 

 during February or March. 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 18 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 or., to 1,500 plants, 6 oz. of 

 Seed in beds to transplant upon an acre. 



FIRST EARLY SORTS. 



Early Spring or Flat Parisian — An ex- 

 tra early flat-headed sort. As early 

 as Jersey Wakefield, with heads 

 twice the 'weight of Wakefield. It is 

 very solid and regular in shape, has 

 few outside leaves. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 

 2 ozs. 40c; hi lb. 75c; 1 lb .$2.50 



CURRIE'S EARLY MARKET — Comparing it with Jersey 

 Wakefield, we find it earlier, besides having a much 

 larger and finer head ■with few loose outside leaves. In 

 form the head is conical. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; 

 14 lb. 75c; 1 lb $2.75 



CURRIE'S ECLIPSE — The earliest of all large Cabbages. 

 It is considerably larger than Henderson's Early Summer 

 and fully two weeks earlier: The heads grow very uni- 

 form in size, with few loose leaves, remarkably solid, 

 very tender, and of the finest quality. The veins and 

 mid-ribs of the leaves are much smaller than other 

 varieties. Color dark green. The Eclipse is all that 

 can be desired as an early Cabbage, and a valuable sort 

 for main crop. The stem is very short. Pkt. 5c; oz. 

 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; 14 lb. 75c; 1 lb $2.50 



Early Jersey Wakefield — (Extra selected stock.) Exten- 

 sively grown for an extra early. With careful selection 

 we offer a strain that is unexcelled. The heads are uni- 

 form in size, pointed, small outside leaves and very 

 solid. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; % lb. 75c; 1 lb $2.50 



Charleston Large Wakefield — Is half as large again as 

 Jersey Wakefield, although a few days later. Our stock 

 has been carefully selected from the earliest and most 

 solid heads, and is the finest that money can procure.

CURRIE'S ECLIPSE CABBAGE. 



EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET — A superb new round-headed 

 variety developed through careful selection by one of 

 the best growers in the celebrated Danish Cabbage 

 country. It matures as early as Charleston Wakefield, 

 but produces much larger, heavier heads, averaging ten 

 pounds each, very solid, although small cored, and of 

 excellent quality. The heads mature so evenly that one 

 cutting suffices to gather the crop. It is very short 

 stemmed, the heads forming almost on the ground; the 

 leaves are light-green and always tightly folded, per- 

 mitting close planting. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 

 Yi lb. $1.40; 1 lb $4.50 



SECOND EARLY OR MAIN CROP SORTS. 



GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN — The best of the early large 

 headed sorts, maturing with Early Summer, but produc- 

 ing larger and solider heads than that variety. The 

 heads have very few outside leaves, keep in condition 

 for a long time and are fine grained and tender. An ex- 

 cellent sort for shipping and the home garden. Pkt. 

 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; % lb. 75c; 1 lb $2.60 



Henderson's Succession — Medium early of the Early Sum- 

 mer type, but growing fully one-half larger; of very
