flEEDEWS "AUTUW W GABBAGE. 



00000000 



THIS peerless variety we introduced, and we will say without hesitation 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 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 dis- 

 tinguished 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 seven 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 engraving gives a 

 good idea of its appearance. 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 % lb., $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. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 

 70c. J4 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. >4 lb., $1.75 lb. 



* * $ED CABBAGE ▼ ▼ 



RED WINNING-STADT. 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 per- 

 fect development. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. X A lb., $2.50 lb. 



EARLY BLOOD-RED ERFURT. Earlier than the preceding. 

 Valuable for pickling. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. J^ lb., $2.50 lb. 



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

 growing and selected strain of late Ked Cabbage. The heads 



will average 12 lbs. each,

* * SAVOY CABBAGE * V 



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. % lb., $2.50 lb. 

 AMERICAN DRUMHEAD SAVOY. The largest heading 

 Savoy ; of excellent flavor. 5c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb.
