MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH. 
MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH.—This enormous cabbage excels in 
Size all other varieties. Under high culture it has reached the enor- 
mous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head, with a diameter equal to that 
of a 2-bushel basket, while 30 pounds per head is by ho means rare. If 
you wish to have tine biggest cabbage in the whole neighborhood this is 
the variety to plant. The quality, however, is not coarse, and the flavor 
is delicate and excellent. It is well adapted to the South, and is in fayor 
there, and is considered one of the most desirable varieties of late cab- 
bage for warm latitudes. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
STONEMASON.—This is a very popular variety among New Eng- 
land growers, being a sure header. It makes a deep, round and very 
hard head, the outer leaves arching above it handsomely. In reliability 
for heading, no cabbage surpasses it. It gives general satisfaction, and 
{ean recommend it, Pkt,, 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; 1b., $2.00. 
THE LUPTON.—This splendid cabbage, which < introduced some 
years ago, originated in a field of Flat Dutch, on the eastern end of Long 
Island, in a district famous for growing cabbage seed. It bids fair to 
equal, if not surpass, anything in America, (See specialties.)

FELDERKRAUT. — 
This is a German variety 
combining so many good 
qualities that it should be planted by all cabbage growers. It is espe- | 
cially desirable in making kraut, and is extensively grown for that 
purpose. It is a sure header, and the heads are very large and solid. 
It is hardy and thrives well anywhere. Recommended to all desiring a | 
pointed head variety adapted to both early and late planting. Packet, 
5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 144 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50.

noted for their fine and delicate flavor. The leaves are wrinkled ina 
peculiar and characteristic manner. The heads in this strain of Savoy 
are large and very compact, and of a most attractive appearance. It is 
an excellent winter keeper, and I commend it to market gardeners and 
amateurs. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 144 pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 
SAFE CROP.—A good late cabbage that issure to head. It has few 
outer leaves; head always hard and firm. Stems short. Foliage com- 
pact, and of a beautiful green color. Heads thick, flat, uniform in size, 
tender and of good quality. Stands well without bursting. Packet, 
5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 144 pound 60 cents; pound, $2.00. :

dark red. Used almost exclusively for pickling. Packet, 5 cents;

RED POLISH SHORT STEM.—A new red sort. (See specialties.) 
MAMMOTH RED ROCK.—The hardiest and largest heading red 
cabbage in cultivation, heads often weighing 12 pounds each. A sure 
cropper. Successful Long Island growers prefer this to all other red * 
cabbages. True seed of Red Rock has been scarce for years, as it is a E 
shy seeder; but I have harvested a good crop 
of the genuine article. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
30 cts.; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00.
