JOHNSON & STOKES' MARKET GARDENERS' CABBAGE No. 2. 



In this very valuable new variety we have the earliest and. most compact of all larg-e cab- 

 bages. It is pronounced by many prominent gardeners, who are now growing it almost exclusively, 

 the very best of all large early cabbages. 



In it we have a cabbage so hardy and vigorous that it can be set earlier than Jersey 

 Wakefield or Early Summer, and will produce fine, solid, marketable heads, more than twice as 

 large as Jersey Wakefield and one-half again as lai-ge as Early Sunimer, and come in as 

 early as the Wakefield, and fully ten days earlier than Early Summer or any other rotmd or 

 flat-headed variety. 



On the other hand, when planted for a fall or winter crop, there is no other cabbage which will 

 withstand the summer sun so well, and is so sure to form large, deep, solid heads, of quality equal 

 to the best. When stored for winter they keep perfectly until very late in the spring, coming out in 

 fine salable condition. 



Such a cabbage is Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners' Cabbage No. 2, and all who 

 have not yet given it a trial will, after growing it, be as enthusiastic in its praise as we are. In this we 

 have the best seed of the very best cabbage in cultivation. Pkt., loc; oz., 35c.; 2 ozs., 60c.; 

 'X lb.,|i.oo; lb., $3.50. 



EAKL.Y WINVINGSTADT. The Prussian Prize 



Stock. Many consider the Early Winniiigstadt the very best 

 for early market sales, as it invariably j^rows very hard, and 

 ■^•ili head on soils where nianN' other sorts fail entirely. Re- 

 liable stock is hard to get, as seedsmen usually import it 

 from Kngland and France. The seed we offer, however, is 

 American grnwn. acclini:ited and selected from the original 

 I^Hssiaii I'rize StocI:. Those intendiny; to plant this vai'iety 

 ■will find this str.iin far superior in earliness, size, solidity 

 and great uniformity of heading toanv other ever sold in this 

 country. Pkt., 5c.; oz , 15c.; K lb-, 45c.; lb., $1.5U; 2 lbs. for 

 «2.7.^. 



LOUDEKBACK'S ALT. YEAR KOITND. This c;ib- 

 bage originated with Daniel Ix)uderbaclc, one of the oldest 

 and mo-t successful of Philadelphia market gardeners, and 

 has had a great local reputation (or several years. It is not 

 only the tinest early Drumhead in cultivation, but is equally 

 as good for second and third early, intermediate aud 

 late. It heads large, compact and solid, with very short 

 stem and lew outer leaves, and unflagging uniler the hottest 

 sun or lieaviest frost. It m:iy be sown successively and con- 

 tinuously during all periods wlien cibbage is planted. Tlie 

 seed we offer was grown by the originator. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 25c.; 1^ lb., 75c.; lb., $2.75. 



Atli HEAD EAKL.T. This new variety originated on 

 Long Island, and was first introduced in 1891. Tlie habit of 

 growth is very compact, allowing it to be i)lanted very close. 

 We can recommend it as one of the most thoroughbred and 

 uniform cabbages we have ever grown, as in a large field 

 which we grew for seed the past season every plant formed a 

 head fully as large as All Seasons, of perfect and uniform 

 shape. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; }4 lb., 6.5c.; lb., $2.25; 2 lbs. for 



"HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION. Attention was first 

 called to this new cabbage by Mr. Van Siclen of Long Island, 

 who originated the well-known Eariy Sunmier cabbage. It 

 has given satisraetioa wherever planted. It follows (en days 

 after Early Summer, with larger and heavier heads. It grows 

 so compactly that notwithstanding its large size, it can 

 readily be p'anted almost as close as Early Summer. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 20c.; ^i lb., fi5e.: lb., $2 25; 2 lbs. for $4.25. 



LODISVILI-E DRUMHEAD. This is the most pop- 

 ular intermediate or second early with market gardeners 

 around Louisville and the Southwest. It comes oft' medium 

 early, withstands lieat to a remarkable extent, heads large, 

 solid and uniform in size, and dark, bluish-green in color. We 

 can recommend this sort very highlv for the Southern and 

 Middle States. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75-
