For the Soutliern States 



Jersey Vt^akefielcl. Very popalai' in the North, but little 

 planted here. It is of medium size and heads up well. 



Early Flat Dutch. An intermediate variety 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 account of being flat. Very good variety for family use. 



Early Di'iiiiiliead. A similar variety to the above; a little 

 earlier, and not making as many leaves, it can be planted close. A 

 good early spring cabbage. 



Ear^e Flat Briins\%Jek:. This is a late German variety, intro- 

 duced by me about twenty years ago. It is an excellent variety, and 

 when well headed up the shape of it is a true type of a Premium Flat 

 Dutch Cabbage. It requires very rich ground, and should be sown 

 early, as it is a little more susceptible of frost than the Superior Flat 

 Dutch. It is well adapted for shipping, being very hard, and does not 

 wilt so quick as others. At Frenier, along the Jackson Eailroad, this 

 is the kind principally planted, and is preferred over all other varie- 

 ties. The people living there plant nothing else except cabbage, and 

 have tried nearly all highly recommended varieties, and this is their 

 choice. At that place the seeds are sown in October and November. 

 The bulk of the cabbage raised there is shipped North in April and 

 May, and is the finest which comes to the Chicago market. 



Early Drumhead Cabbage. 



Improved. Early Summer. 



Improved Early Sunimer. This cabbage is of recent intro- 

 duction. It is not quite so large as the Brunswick, but earlier; for 

 fall it can be sown in August ; for spring, in November and as late as 

 January. It heads up very uniform and does not produce many out- 

 side leaves. It is hardier than the Brunswick, and stands the cold 

 and heat better. The seed I offer is of the best strain cultivated, and 

 can be planted closer together than the late varieties —say about 8000 

 to the acre. The finest crop of this variety (one hundred and fifty 

 thousand heads of cabbage) I ever saw, was raised last year near the 

 city. The grower could commence on one end of the row to cut, and 

 continue to the end, all well headed. 



Improved Earjfe Eate Drumhead. Fine large variety; 

 should be sown early in the fall for winter, or during December and 

 January for late spring use ; it will stand more cold weather than the 

 Brunswick.
