8 J. MANNS & CO.’S 
CHOICE SEEDS, 
Ca bba ge. —Continued. 
_. Henderson’s Succession.—About one week later 
than the Early Summer, but nearly double the size, while 
it can be planted nearly as close, its outer leaves being un- 
usually short. One of its characteristics is the fact that it 
is always sure to head. Pkt., 5c.; ¥ Ib., 40c.; 1b., $1.25 
Burpee’s Original SUREHEAD Cabbage 
produces large, round, flattened heads, of the Flat Dutch 
type, and is remarkable for its certainty to head. It is all 
head and sure to head, even under unfavorable conditions. 
The heads are remarkably uniform, very hard, firm, and 
fine in texture, and ordinarily weigh from ten to fifteen 
pounds each. It is very sweet flavored, has but. few loose 
leaves, keeps well, is good for shipping, and is just the 
variety and quality io suit market gardeners, farmers, and 
all lovers of good cabbage. Pkt., 5c.; 4% Ib., 40c.; lb , $1.20 
Y Early Flat Dutch.—An excellent second early va- 
riety, producing fine large heads after the first early va- 
rieties have disappeared. Highly valued, both {for its 
quality and ability to stand the hot sun and dry weather. 
Heads very solid, broad and round, flattened on top, tender 
and fine grained. Oz.,15c; ¥% Ib., 40c.; Ib., $1.25. 
Y Fottler’s Early Drumhead, or Short-Stem 
Brunswick.—In its improved type this is a very fine 
summer or early fall variety. The plants are of dwarf, 
compact growth, the solid, flat heads resting on the soil, 
while the few outer leaves grow closely about the heads. 
The foliage is a light bluish-green in color. The heads are 
very flat, quite thick through, uniformly ‘‘hard and solid,”’ 
and considerably earlier than the ordinary Flat Dutch 
strains. Good for both intermediate and winter use. Oz., 
15c.; % lb., 40c.; Ib., $1.25. 
Ypremium Flat Dutch—This is a large, strong- 
growing variety, requiring a considerable length of season 
in which to perfect the large, solid flat heads, and should 
be planted at least two feet apart in rich soil. Very popu- 
lar where, large, solid heads are desired for market. Ocz., 
15c.y¥ %% lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 
\ 
* Large Late Flat Dutch.—This is the most popu- 
lar variety and more largely grown than any other, the 
largest and most compact heads of any strain offered. We 
confidently recommend it. Oz., 15c.; 4 1b.; 40c., lb., $1.00. 
Y Danish Ball Head.—A very handsome and ex- 
tremely hardy imported Cabbage, which is growing in popu- 
larity in America, having proven one of the very best 
winter sorts. It is highly prized in Denmark, and grown 
there’ almost exclusively for Winter Cabbage. It thrives 
well on thin soils, and in highly exposed situations. The 
heads are of good marketable size, not quite so large as 
Flat Dutch, but very hard, round, fine-grained, and will 
weigh one-fourth more than other varieties of equal size. 
Oz., 20c.; 1% Ib., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 
V Red Dutch.—Head large, rounded in shape, hard; 
very deeply colored at the heart. Pkg., 5c.; 0z., 20c.; 
X Ib., 65c.; Ib., $2.00. 
The Lupton Cabbage. 
The Lupton.—tThis variety of recent introduction 
has met with remarkable success. Its growth is particu- 
larly strong and vigorous, its color a dark bluish-green, in- 
dicating a robust constitution and healthy development. 
‘The stem is short, but strong under the head The head is 
a perfect specimen, thick and flat, the outer leaves covering 
it well across the centre, and, while it is large, yet is very 
fine grained, maturing with the Succession. Oz., 15c.; 
\% W., 40c.; Ib., $1.25.

VY Autumn King, or World-Beater.—This is an 
extremely large and solid-heading variety, well suited for 
fall and winter. It is especially desirable for exhibition, 
giving the best results in cool locations. The plant is of 
extra strong growth, with an abundance of dark bluish- 
green leaves growing closely about the large, flattened 
heads. In good soil it will produce heads of enormous 
size, but, of course, requires a longer season for growth 
than do the earlier and smaller varieties. With us seed 
sown the first of June will produce very fine heads in time 
Oz., 15c.; 4 lb., 40c.; Ib., $1.25. 
“ Mammoth Rock Red.—Heads very large; deep 
red to the centre; highly recommended. Oz., 20c.; ¥& Ib., 
65c.; Ib., $2.00. Zieh

to put away for winter.

Imperial Drumhead Savoy Cabbage. 
Imperial Drumhead Savoy.—rThe hardest head- 
ing and best variety for early or late crop. This is the 
finest of the Savoy class and very distinct from all other 
sorts. Heads large, very compact, solid, and deliciously 
tender and sweet, and well adapted for either early sum- 
mer or late autumn and winter crop. Surpasses all other 
sorts in hardness and keeping qualities. Entire ‘‘pits’’ of 
it will keep in perfect condition until May. Oz., 1ic.; 
Y Ib, 40c.; lb., $1.25.
