-f Johnson St Stokes' Matchless Late Flat Dutch Cabbage-^ 



In this uew strain of late cabbage we believe we have combiued even- good quality essential to per- 

 fection. It is the result of several \-ears' continued selection for our seed stocks of the most perfect and 

 largest heads, with low stocks, and especially those that show greater earliness in heading, with few 

 outer leaves, and of very uniform color. By such persistent selection, }ear after year, we have a highly 

 improved strain, pronounced by experienced cabbage growers and market gardeners, who, after three 

 j-ears' trial, now grow it in preference to all others for a main crop, the finest strain of late cabbage in 

 the world. It grows larger and weighs heavier than any other variety, never fails to make a perfect, 

 solid head, and is most uniform in size and color. We can honestlj' recommend this superior sort to all 

 growers as standing alone and unequalled by any other late cabbage. Oz., 25c.; % lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50; 

 2 lbs., $4.50.

Efe. . pj£^ DIAMOND WINTER CABBAGE. 





lu the NEW DIAMOND WINTER CABBAGE, we 

 have a strain entire!}' distinct from any other, viz : a 

 cross between Short Stem Drumhead and Danish 

 Round Winter. Our customers well know the many 

 valuable characteristics of the former, while as to the 

 latter, it is a universally admitted fact that it is the 

 best, heaviest and most solid heading sort grown in 

 Europe. It has cost the originator, a prominent Long 

 Island market gardener, seven years of constant un- 

 remitting care to select and fix this truly fine type of 

 winter cabbage. 



The NEW DIAMOND DRUMHEAD combines all 

 those qualities so desirable to an experienced market 

 gardener to render a late cabbage perfect in every 

 respect, viz : size, weight, quality, sure-heading; and a 

 long keeper. It grows very compactly, the stem is 

 short and it can be planted clofer together than an}' 

 other late variety ; besides this it does not crack open. 

 The heads will average from 15 to 18 pounds in 

 weight after they are trimmed for market ; the}- grow 

 very uniform in size and shape and present a hand- 

 some appearance to the eye. In fact, one head is 

 almost an exact duplicate of the other. They are 

 extra hard, solid, round and somewhat flattened on 

 top ; possess a fine, small rib and are always of the 

 finest possible quality and a sure header. J ^Oz., 40c.;
