274 SUCCESSION 



The Most Celebrated Second-Early Variety 



The heads become solid long before they are fully grown, so that 

 heads of satisfactory size may be cut long before it is at its best. 

 Is so finely bred, so free from coarse veining of the leaves, that 

 in addition to its reliability and sure cropping quality, it possesses 

 all the fine qualities of the very best earlier varieties. Succession 

 Cabbage is much sought after, and much seed is offered as "Succes- 

 sion" which is spurious. True stock can only be obtained direct 

 from us. Season 80 days from plant setting.
