 plants bear for many weeks. All gar- 

 deners who want to enjoy deLicious 

 broccoli over a long season should sow 

 EARLIGREEN. Ready in 65 days.

The Improved Italian Type 

 —A Delicious Vegetable 



(See Color Plate, Page 14.) 



Famed for its tender, delicious and 

 savory flavor, also for its healthful and 

 obesity-reducing qualities, and lastly • 

 for its extreme ease of culture. 



The plant grows about two feet high, 

 is branching in character, and each 

 branch terminates in a green sprout. 

 When the green sprouts, which are 

 actually a mass of flower buds, have 

 developed to two or three inches across 

 (and before the flowers appear), they 

 are ready for use. 



It thrives anywhere. For an early 

 crop, start the seed in a cold frame and 

 transplant seedlings in the open ground 

 after frost. 



For late crop, start seed in the open 

 ground during the early Summer 

 months. It is cooked and served like 

 Cauliflower. Ready in 75 days.

PLANT AT LEAST THREE SORTS— EARLY, SECOND EARLY and LATE 



EXTRA EARLY and EARLY VARIETIES 



254 CHARLESTON WAKEFIELD 



The pointed-head Cabbages are of ex- 

 cellent quality, quite free from the 

 coarse rankness so commonly associated 

 with Cabbage. Henderson's Charleston 

 Wakefield is larger, but fully equal in 

 quality to any of its class and admirably 

 suited to succeed the very early sorts. 



Ready 68 clays from the setting out of 

 the plants. 



Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; % lb., $1.80. 



269 GOLDEN ACRE 



Golden Acre Cabbage is an early round- 

 headed variety resembling Early Market 

 in shape and type, but is smaller. It will 

 remain on the field for a long time without 

 bursting. Season 64 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; % lb., S2.25. 



259 EARLYKROP 



One of the earliest round-headed Cab- 

 bages on the market. It finishes with 

 the Earliest Wakefield type; but unlike 

 that type, it remains in perfect condition 

 on the field for a long time without 

 bursting or bolting to seed. This is a 

 very desirable quality for the home 

 gardener who wants his crop to extend 

 over a long period of time. Season 64 days. 

 Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; i t lb.. $2.25. 



262 EARLY MARKET 



The plant is small, with short stem, and 

 few outer leaves. These have the ex- 

 cellent habit of curving inward, thus 

 providing protection to the head. 



For home use its remarkably fine 

 quality and tenderness will be greatly 

 appreciated. There is an entire absence 

 of coarse veins and leaves, and it has 

 the quality peculiar to some of the best 

 sorts of hardening the head before it 

 " has attained its full size. Season 64 days. 



Price, pkt.. 15c; oz.. 75c; % lb.. $2.25. 



260 EARLY JERSEY 

 WAKEFIELD 



The Best First-Early, Pointed- 

 Head Cabbage 



The heads are pyramidal in shape, having a 

 blunted or rounded peak. It is beyond question 

 the best variety for spring and early summer in 

 the private garden. Its first appearance brings a 

 welcome change from the hard-headed.^ winter 

 sorts, for Early Jersey Wakefield is attractive 

 in appearance and essentially good in quality. 

 Season 62 days from plant setting. 



Price, pkt.. 10c; oz., 60e; li lb.. SI. 80. 



273 PREMIER 



(See Coloy Plate, Page 13) 



1 1 is the earliest of all the round-headed varieties, 

 fully 3 to 4 days earlier than Earlykrop. The 

 ittead is a trifle smaller, the plant is more com- 

 pact ; it can therefore be planted closer than other 

 sorts, so that quality cabbage can be grown in 

 even the smallest garden. The heads are very 

 firm, and the duality is delicious, tender and 

 succulent. Season 60 days. 



Price, pkt.. 25c; oz., Sl-00; Vi lb., S3.00. 



"Yellows" Resistant Varieties 

 275 RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE 



(Extra Early) 



This strain has proven highly resistant to 

 "yellows" and has made it possible for growers 

 to produce a good crop of early Cabbage in 

 manv areas infested with this disease. The heads 

 closely resemble our strain of regular Golden 

 Acre, but mature a day or two later. 

 Price, pkt., 25c; oz., SI .00. 



263 MARION MARKET 



(Second Early) 



One of the first resistant strains to be developed. 

 Marion Market has proven very profitable for 

 many growers because of its dependability and 

 heavy yields, even on yellows infected soil. The 

 plants and heads are larger than Copenhagen 

 Market. Season 75 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 80c; M lb., $2.40. 



277 WISCONSIN HOLLANDER 



No. 8 (Late)

 very hardy. The heads are large, practically 

 round and solid. Season 105 days.
