THB s:bed annuaiv of the 



Steiti'3 Early Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



This is one of the earliest cabbages for its 

 size. The demand for the seed has increas- 

 ed almost double since last year. It is a 

 sure header, very regular and well adapted 

 for shipping. lb planted exclusive of all 

 other kinds, by some of the largest cabbage 

 growers in this vicinity. 



Improved Early Summer. This cab- 

 bage is of recent introduction. It is not 

 quite so large as the Brunswick; for fall it 

 can be sown in August; for spring, in Novem- 

 ber and as late as January, heads up very

uniform and does not produce many outside 

 leaves. It is hardier than the Brunswick, 

 and stands the cold and heat better. The 

 seed we offer is the best strain cultivated, 

 and can be planted closer together than the 

 late varieties —say about Sooo to the acre. 

 The finest crop of this variety (one hundred 

 and iifty thousand heads of cabbage! We 

 ever saw. was raised a few years ago near 

 the city, The growler could commence on 

 one end of the row to cut. and continue to 

 the end. all well headed. They averaged 

 about 7 pounds. 



Barly Drumhead. A similar variety 

 to the above; a little earlier, and not mak- 

 ing as many leaves, it can be planted close. 

 A good early spring cabbage. 



St. Denis, or Chou Bonneuil. This 

 was. at one time, one of the most popular 

 varieties grown for this market, but during 

 the past few years has not done so well as 

 formerlv, and is. therefore, planted very 

 little. 



St. DcBis or Chon BoBneuil. 



Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate 

 kind between the early pointed and late 

 varieties. It is not, on an average, as heavy 

 as the Oxheart or Winningstadt; but. if 

 raised for the market, more salable on ac- 

 count of being fiat. Very Good variety for 

 familv use.

Early York. An early variet}-, but 

 very little grown here except for family use. 

 As we have cabbage heading up almost the 

 whole year, it has not the same value as in 

 Northern climates, where the first cabbage 

 in spring brings a good price.

Early Large Oxheart. An excellent

 York, and well adapted for sowing in fall
