Importance of Reliable 



Cabbage 



Seeds. 



To market gardeners generally no vegetable is of greater importance than the cabbage ; and to 

 many growers the success or failure of this crop means gain or loss for the year. It does not pay, there- 

 fore, to take any risks m buying seed. Much of the seed commonly sold has not had the great care 

 necessary in growing to make it reliable. Our Cabbage Seed is the very best procurable, raised only 

 from the centre shoots and from carefully selected solid heads. Our crops are all personally inspected 

 with untiring care and watchfulness. As a standing evidence of its quality, we need only say that we 

 annually supply hundreds of the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, 

 Boston, Charleston, Norfolk and other large cities. 



GHNSuhaoTOKES EARLIEST. 



THE Gf?EAT£ST OTALL EARLY 

 CABBAGES. 



Johnson & Stokes' Barliest Cabbage. 



No words of praise can be wrritten that would recommend this most desirable cabbage too highly. 

 Now in the tentli year of its great popularity, and is to-day more largely planted by market 

 gardeners all over the United States than any other first early cabbage known. It gives every market 

 gardener who plants it complete control of the early markets, and is everywhere pronounced by them 

 the best and most profitable first early cabbage ever grown. 



It is ten days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, and is unsurpassed in fine quality, 

 great beauty and vigor of groTvtli. The heads are slightly conical, remarkably large, 

 solid and uniform in growth, and of the finest quality. Pkt., loc; oz., 40c.; yi lb., ^1.25 ;
