We deliver all Seeds offered on this page Free to any Post- 
Office in the United States. 
Our Cabbage seeds are saved from tested and carefully 
selected American-grown stocks. 
In this neighborhood early Cabbage seed should be sown in hotbeds 
during February or March. When large enough the plants should.be trans- 
planted 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 
inchesin 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.

FIRST EARLY SORTS. 
Alpha—Its general character is that of Flat Dutch, 
but earlier and remarkable for its solidity and free- 
dom from superfluous leaves. The heads are from 
six to eight inches in diameter, and are rarely more 
than six or seven inches from the ground. In com- 
parison with Early Jersey Wakefield sown and trans- 
Planted at the same time, it produces heads fit for 
marketing several days before that famous early 
Cabbage. Pkt., 10c: 0z.,35c; 41b., $1.00; Ib...... $3.50 
Early Spring or Fiat 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, it was ready to cut with it and pro- 
duced 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 flavor.

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 
variety. 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 vari- 
eties, Color, dark green. The ECLIPSE is all that 
can be desired 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 cf its growth, makes it valu- 
able, inasmuch as many more Cabbages can be 
planted on an acre than of most large-headed sorts.

four or five days earlier. The heads are very solid

Currie’s Early Market—Market-gardeners everywhere who have grown it 
are unanimous in pronouncing it a most desirable variety, of excellent quality, 
tender, and very mild in flavor when cooked. Comparing it with Wakefield, 
we find it earlier than that standard sort, besides having a much larger and 
firmer head, with few loose outside leaves, and may, with advantage, be grown 
throughout the entire season. In form the head is conical, like all early varie-

Charleston Large Wakefield—This Cabbage is without doubt a great 
improvement upon the old Jersey Wakefield, being half as large again in 
size, heads very solid and of excellent quality; midribs are small. Although 
a few days later than the original Wakefield, we think it a very profitable 
variety to grow as an extra early. Our stceck has been carefully selected from 
the earliest and most solid heads, and withuut question is the finest stock that 
money can procure. Pkg., 5c; oz., 25c; $1b., 75c; 1 Ib 
SECOND EARLY OR MAIN CROP SORTS. 
Henderson’s Succession—A medium early Cabbage of the Early Summer 
type, but growing fully one-half larger in size; of very fine quality, anda 
long keeper; heads of uniform size finely formed and very solid. Without 
doubt the best of the main crop Cabbages. Pkt., 5c; oz.,25c; 41b., Cos
