J. MANNS & CO.'S CHOICE SEEDS. 



Cabbage. 



-• New Glory. Extra Early.— 



This very 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 pro- 

 duced on an acre. It matures with 

 the Charleston Wakefield and is b}' far 

 the best earlj^ sort for those markets || 

 that demand a large round or flat Cab-I§ 

 bage. The plant is 

 ver)- hardy and will 

 prove a great addi- 

 tion to the Cabbage 

 family. Pkg., 10c. ;

 heat well. Oz.,

4^rilderkravit. — 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., 5c.; oz., loc; X lb., 50c.; lb., $1.25. 



^' All-Head Early. — We can fully 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 ac- 

 count 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.; '4 lb., 40c.; 

 lb.. $1.25. 



I Early Jersey "Wakefield. 



'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. i,Oz., 2Gc.; % lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



J'elect Jrue yTmerican Qrovrn. 



^ The Charleston, or Large 

 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 point- 

 ed. 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 conse- 

 quently can be left 

 standing on the 

 ground a long while 

 without injury, un- 

 til a favorable op- 

 portunity for cut- 

 ting. Oz., 20c.; % 

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



f^Early Spring. 



— This is the earliest 

 flat-head Cabbage in 

 cultivation, being 

 ready for use slight- 

 ly in advance of our 

 All-H ead Early 

 ( which, however, is 

 much larger). The 

 plants are dwarf, 

 with solid, well fold- 

 ed, 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 closelv about the head. Oz., 15c.; 

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



\r All Season.— Heads very large, round, solid and of 

 fine quality-, keeping as well as the Winter sorts. Plant very- 

 vigorous, but sure heading. Remarkable for its ability to 

 stand the hot sun and dry weather. Oz., 15c.; \i lb., 40c.; 

 lb., $1.35.

Early Sniimier. 



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 gardeners. Oz., loc; ^ lb., 40c; lb. 

 $1.35.
