A VALUABLE NEW CABBAGE 



OHNSON'S EVER=READY 



See colored illustration from nature on back of this book 



Distributed by Johnson Seed Company last year as Nameless 



Seed now offered for sale for the first time 



Last season we were fortunate enough to secure from one of the largest cabbage Beed growers 

 of Long Island a small supply of seed of a new 

 cabbage successfully grown by him for several 

 years, but to which he had never given a name. 

 We did not place it on sale, but sent out sample 

 packages for trial, offering $100.00 in cash prizes for 

 the best name suggested. These names were sub- 

 mitted to a committee, who decided that JOHN- 

 SON'S EVER-READY was the best name sent in, 

 with ten other names as the next best. Checks 

 aggregating $100 have been sent as follows : 

 FIFTY DOLLARS FOR THE BEST NAME TO 



Joseph II. Parkin, Wood's Cross, Utah. 



Frank Cox, Springdale, W. Va. 



J. E. Swartwood, Sciota, Pa. 

 FIVE DOLLARS EACH FOR THE TEN NEXT 

 BEST TO 



J. W. Humphreys, Chadd'e Ford, Pa. 



Wakkon II. Johnson, Cedarville, N. J. 



Henry Grosanor, Fort Wayne, Indiana. 



A. J. Barton, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. 



Hon. Tnos. M. Fkrhki.i,, Glassboro, N. J. 



G. P. Baldwin, Cimarron, New Mexico. 



F. M. Hates, Fairhaven, Mass. 



W. B. Ellis, Vineland, N. J. 



Enoch Bark, Herbst, Indiana. 



Thomas E. Robertson, Lakewood, EJew Jersey. 

 We unhesitatingly pronounce this to be one of the handsomest, hardest heading and most unL 

 form of all cabbages. In a field of 4 acres, not a single plant showed the slightest variation from 

 its true and valuable type, every one forming a large, solid, whitehead, weighing from lti to 18 lb-. 

 each and of the finest quality. 



Mr. Joseph II. Parkin, a prominent market gardener of Wood's Cross, Utah, in a letter addressed 

 to us, Aug. 20, 1907, writes as follows: — "The name for the 'New Nameless Cabbage 1 1 think should 

 be 'Johnson's Ever- Ready' for the following reasons: Planted at the same time with Market Garden - 

 ers' No. 2 side by side, I cut from it my first cabbage. It grew solid from the start, and on this account 

 is read)/ for the tahteany time after it is as large as a duor-knob, and to the man silling 6y weight it has the advantagi 

 in being si 1 solid. It'jS a worm-resister, but two heads showing any sign of worms, while every head of 

 another variety, only two feet away, was badly eaten." Price : Pkt., 20c; 02., 60c; 1-4 lb., $1.75.
