A6JTOMN KIN' 



THE FINEST Ol* AH WINTER CABBAGES. 



THE BEST KEEPER. ENORMOUS SOLID HEADS. 



THERE is no vegetable that is harder to introduce into general cultivation than a new variety of Cabbage, for the reason that it is 

 probably the most important of all garden crops, so that planters are always slow to take hold of a new variety, preferring to use 

 the old standard sorts on which they have depended for years. Hence it is that this peerless variety, which we introduced six 

 years ago, is just now coming into general use. We would say without hesitation that it is the finest late Cabbage in this country 

 to-day, occupying the same position among late Cabbages as the Jersey Wakefield and Succession do in their respective classes. The 

 Autumn King is an entirely distinct variety, and the best keeper we have ever seen ; it produces enormous, solid heads of that dark 

 shade of green that is most desirable in a Cabbage, and has such small outer leaves that it can be planted much closer together than 

 the ordinary late sorts, and can be relied upon to produce a greater weight of crop per acre than any other variety, from the fact of its 

 producing so few outer leaves and going 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. We are sorry to find that some other seedsmen are offering 

 this same stock of Cabbage under the name of "World Beater." In our Trial Grounds during the past two seasons, we had samples 

 of the Autumn King and the " World Beater " side by side, and they proved to be identical. As we sent the Autumn King out six years 

 ago, and the " World Beater" was offered three years later, we claim the credit of the introduction of this, the grandest of all winter 

 Cabbages. The eDgraving gives a good idea of its appearance. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 M lb»5 $3.50 lb. 



HENDERSON'S SELECTED LATE FLAT DUTCH. We have 

 for years been selecting and improving this old favorite, 

 and for this purpose we have, each year, carefully selected the 

 largest and best heads, and now we consider it superior to any 

 other strain of this deservedly popular Cabbage. Price, 5c. pkt., 

 20c. oz., 70c. V lb., $2.50 lb. 



PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. An excellent standard late variety, 

 developing rather earlier in the fall than most late sorts, and for 

 that reason not quite so well adapted for winter use. It is largely 

 grown as an early fall sort ; is very tender and of superior flavor. 

 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. % lb., $2.00 lb. 



RED CABBAGE. 



RED WINNINGSTADT. A conical-shaped early blood-red 

 variety of great merit. 20c. pkt., 6 pkts. for $1.00. 



RED DUTCH. Used almost exclusively for pickling. It is one of 

 the hardiest of all Cabbages, and when preserved as directed in 

 "Gardening for Profit" will keep till very late in the season. 

 It is slow to mature, however, and requires a rich soil for its 

 perfect development. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 34 lD -> $2.50 lb. 



EARLY BLOOD-RED ERFURT. Earlier than the preceding. 

 Valuable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. y± lb., $2.50 lb. 



MAMMOTH ROCK RED. The Mammoth Rock Red is a large- 

 growing and selected strain of late Red Cabbage. The heads 

 will average 12 lbs. each. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 M lb., $4.00 

 lb. ■ 



SAVOY CABBAGE. 



We desire to call special attention to this class, all of the varieties 

 enumerated below being of much finer flavor and quality than the 

 best of other Cabbages. They are particularly adapted for private 

 use, where quality rather than quantity is desired. Grown in fall 

 and allowed to be touched by frost, it is one of the most delicious 

 of all vegetables. 



NETTED SAVOY. This is the finest of the Savoy class, and a 

 general favorite. Heads large, very solid and compact, of a 

 yellowish green color, and, like all other of the Savoy varieties, 

 is of excellent flavor, far surpassing that of any other late 

 Cabbage. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J^ lb., $2.50 lb. 

 AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. The largest heading 

 Savoy ; of excellent flavor. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb.
