idAVLK'S BAKLV FLAT DUTCH. 



EARL.\ SUMMER 



MAULE'S EARL.Y FLAT DrTCH.— An old 



variety, but one that is wonderfully popular 

 wherever grown, unquestionably a good second 

 early, of excellent quality, with large, sound and 

 solid heads. Heads are of a very uniform shape 

 handsome in appearance, and flattened on 

 top, as shown in the illustration. Especially 

 recommended for the South, as it resists heat 

 better than many other varieties. Packet, 5 cts.; 

 ounce, 15 cts.; 14 pound, 50 cts.; pound, $1.50. 



EARLY SUMMEli.— This variety matures, 

 ten days to two weeks after Wakefield, but as ( 

 the heads are almost double the size, it may be 

 ranked as one of the best large earlies; of round, 

 flattened form, very compact and solid, a valu- 

 able variety for the market gardener. One point 

 m favor of this cabbage is that on account of its 

 short outer leaves, it can be planted as close as 

 tbe Wakefield, about 12,000 plants to the acre. 

 Grows remarkably uniform in shape. I otler 



, strictly first choice Long Island grown seed. 



f-^Pkt., Sets.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 lb., 60 cts.; lb. $2.00. 

 — - DEEP HEAD — This new strain of Bruns- 

 wick cabbage well deserves its name, being equal 

 to tottlei s m earliness and other good qualities, 

 but inakmg a larger and thicker head, thus prov- 



\os ^ bettei Winter keeper. All desiring a fine, large, hard heading early cabbage will find @ 



Deep Head just what they want. Certainly, every one of my customers who has raised this sort J 



must have found it a magnificent variety. Packet,5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ^ lb.,50 cts.; lb.,81.50. £, 



AUTUMN KIMG, OR AVORLD BEATER.— This variety might well be called an » 



improved Marblehead Mammoth. It produces solid heads of that dark shade of green • 



that is most desirable in a cabbage, and has such few outer leaves that it can be iq 



planted much closer together than the ordinary late sorts, and can be relied o 



, upon to grow a large crop, from the fact of it producing so few loose leaves, and S 



eroing all to head. A distinct feature of this variety is its peculiarly crimped leaves, 7 



which not only add to its appearance, but enable it to be distinguished any- t" 



where. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 lb., 75 cents; lb., $2.50. 2 



STONEMASON.— This is a very popular variety among New England growers, m, 



being a very sure header. It makes a deep, round and very hard head, the outer O 



leaves wrapping it over very handsomely. In reliability for heading, no cabbage g* 



surpasses it. It is certainly a variety that gives general satisfaction wherever ^ 



grown. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; )4 pound, 60 cents; pound, 81.50. * 



RED DUTCH Heads are round, extremely 



hard, and in color a dark red. Used almost ex- 

 clusively for pickling. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 20 cents; 14 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. 



MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH. — This enor- ( 

 mous cabbage excels in size all other varieties of 

 its family. If you want to surprise your friends 

 with the largest cabbage ever raised in your 

 neighborhood this is the variety you want. Un- 

 der high culture it has reached an average 

 weight of thirty pounds per head, and in size 

 equals a two-bushel basket; heads sometimes 

 weighing as high as 50 to 60 pounds each. The 

 quality, however, is not coarse, but, on the con- 

 trary, delicate, and the flavor fine. It is well 



adapted to the South, and is considered one of the most desirable varieties of late 

 cabbage for the warmer latitudes. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 J.^ pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. > 



DANISH BALL HEAD — This most excellent variety of cabbage, & 

 coming from Denmark, I listed two or three jears ago, and while on ^ 

 our own trial grounds, it proved to be a very fine variety, somehow my » 

 customers did not seem to take to it, so I stopped listing it. Just as S 

 soon as I left it out of my catalogue, however, those who had planted it 

 in the two years I had listed it, Wrote me saying it was one of the best gj 

 varieties they had ever planted, and wished more seed. This demand e 

 from my old customers was to so great an extent that I decided to list ji 

 It again, and take pleasure in ofl'ering seed grown by the originator. It §■ 

 is a large, round, solid heading medium early variet.v; a very sure head- t 

 er, having few loose leaves, consequently can be planted very close to- " 

 gether. Although a medium early, can also be grown for a Fall and J 

 Winter crop, being one of the best keepers. Very popular in the Phil- ^ 

 adelphia. New York and Boston markets. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, ^ 

 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. g 



FELDERKRAUT. — This is a variety from Germany that combines • 

 so many good qualities that it should be more extensivel.v grown by all S 

 cabbage growers. It is especially desirable in making kraut. Heads H 

 large, very hard, solid and a sure header. It is very hardy, and thrives i^ 

 well anywhere. Recommended to all desiring a pointed head variety fj 

 that is good to plant for either earlj' or late. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 1^ 

 15 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. ,- 



IMPROVED DRUMHEAD SAVOY.— Few are aware how excellent g 

 are the Savoy Cabbages. They are of a most superior flavoi-, and in J 

 quality far ahead of the common varieties, and not so very inferior even g 

 to the cauliflowers. In addition it can be. depended upon for a good yield. E 

 Heads are large, finely curled and very compact. They are excellent .p 

 Winter keepers, and deserve to be more generally planted. To market t^ 

 gardeners who plant largely of the Savoy Cabbage I particularly recom- s 

 meud my strain. Packet, 6 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; J^ lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. *
