Early Jersey Wakefield.— Selected stock. The favorite early 

 variety for both market gardeners and general use. Pointed heads, solid, 

 and really the best of all the early sorts. Oz., 15c ; X 1^., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 

 Tlie Charleston, or Liarge Wakefield.— It is five to six days 

 later than Early Jersey Wakefield. The heads are nearly one-half larger 

 and very solid, but not near as pointed. It is very compact in growth, and 

 can be easily planted in rows two feet apart and twenty inches in the rows. 

 One great advantage, both for the market and home gardener, is that it does 

 not burst open when ripe, like many other early sorts, and consequently 

 can be left standing on the ground a long while without injury, until a 

 favorable opportunity for cutting. Oz., 15c.; X lb., 4Cc ; lb., $1.25. 



Early Spring. — This is one of the earliest flat-head Cabbage in cul- 

 tivation, being ready for use slightly in advance of our All-Head Early 

 (which, however, is much larger). The plants are dwarf, with solid, well 

 folded, flattened heads, averaging six to eight inches in diameter. The 

 stems of the plants are so short that the heads seemingly rest on the 

 ground. Plants produce but little outer foliage, which is of a deep green 

 color, and grows up closely about the head. Oz., Ifc; }{ lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25.

Early Jersey Wakefield. 



New Glory, Extra Early.— This fine Cabbage 

 originated in Holland, is a wonderful compact plant with 

 few outer leaves, so that a great number of fine solid 

 heads can be produced on an acre. It matures with the 

 Charleston Wakefield, and is by far the best early sort J 

 for those markets that demand a large ' ^ 



round or flat Cabbage. The plant is 

 very hardy and will prove a great ad- 

 dition to the Cabbage family. Pkg., 

 lOc; oz., 20c.; X lb., ()Oc.;lb., $2.(.0. 



Eureka First Early.— This isa 

 remarkable extra early variety of the 

 flat type, maturing and ready for 

 market with the pointed head varie- 

 ties. It is a Cabbage of excellent 

 constitution, healthy and not subject 

 to disease. A reliable header and 

 sure cropper. Oz., 20c.; X lb., 50c.; 

 lb., $1.50. 



Early Winningstadt.— Old 

 standby. Well-known and very pop- 

 ular everywhere. Heads decidedly 

 conical, leaves bright glossy green; 

 solid and hard heads. Oz., 15c.; X lb-, 

 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



New Glory, JDxtra Early. 



Early Summer. 



New Leader Cabbage. — For description and price see 

 Eureka First Early. 



All-Head Early. — We can full)' endorse all claims made for 

 this excellent variety, but it is no earlier than our strain of Early- 

 Summer. It is a thoroughbred sort, on account of its remarkably 

 uniform size and shape and its reliability for heading. The deep 

 flat heads are solid and uniform in color, size and shape. Oz., 15c.; 

 X lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



Early Summer. — Is about ten days later than the Wakefield, 

 but being double the size it may be classed as decidedly the best 

 large Early Cabbage, and is deservedly popular with market garden- 

 ers. Oz., 15c.; X lb-, 4f c; lb., $1.25. 



All Season. — Heads very large, round, solid, and of fine qual- 

 itj', keeping as well as the winter sorts. Plant very vigorous, but 

 sure heading. Remarkable for its abilit}' to stand the hot sun and 

 dry weather. Oz., 15c.; X lb-, 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



Filderkraut. — A most distinct, sure-heading variety, esteemed 

 by reason of its extremely hard-heading quality for slicing or making 

 Sourkrout among the Germans. The heads are conical, upright and 

 very tightly folded, the leaves being twisted into a slender point at 

 the top of the head. Pkt., 6c.; oz., 15c.; X lb , 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



We pride ourselves on having the best and purest Cabbage Seed, re- 

 gardless to price.
