 condition. The water being oi'er the heads did not make them 

 burst. It is a King among Cabbage." — Wm. Rugg, Bridgeport,

This 



St 



V in 



HIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation, all 

 statements to the contrary notwithstanding, that it is the finest late Cabbage 

 in this country to-day, entirely distinct, and the best keeper; it produces 

 enormous, solid heads of that glaucous green shade that is most desirable in a 

 Cabbage. It has also such small outer leaves that it can be planted much closer 

 together than the ordinary late sorts, and it can be relied upon to produce a greater 

 weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact that it produces very 

 few outer leaves and goes all to head. A distinctive feature of the Autumn King is 

 the peculiarly crimped leaves, which not only add to its appearance, but enable it to be 

 distinguished anywhere. So distinct is the 

 Autumn King that the veriest novice can 

 readily tell it in the trial grounds at a 

 glance, and yet, notwithstanding this dis- 

 tinctiveness, a Long Island grower succeed- 

 ed in foisting it under a new name on a 

 Philadelphia firm of seedsmen. It is only 

 fair to say that on having their attention 

 called to the matter they have in a way 

 acknowledged their error. We mention this 

 that our customers may not be misled. If 

 you want the true Autumn King Cabbage, 

 send to us, who introduced it. The engrav- 

 ing gives a good idea of its appearance.
