Second Early or Summ er Cabbages 



" us Danish Summer Ball Head 



The Earliest Strain of the 

 Famous Danish Ball Head Cabbage 



The Danish Sumraer Ball Head cabbage is taking the place among 

 the early varieties that the Danish Ball Head holds among the later 

 sorts. In season it follows right after the early sorts, producing much 

 larger heads of a light green color, extremely hard and solid, mterior 

 leaves bleached to the purest whiteness; of sweet flavor and crisp, 

 tender texture. Long keeping and of superb quality. It resembles 

 the Winter Danish Ball Head quite closely. On light soil it does 

 particularly well, being a sure header. It is a truly fine early cabbage 

 in all respects. It has a noteworthy compactness of growth, which 

 permits close planting. Indeed, as many plants may be set to the acre 

 as of the All Head Early Cabbage. Its beautiful large, round heads 

 are less attacked by worms, bugs and diseases; being extremely hardy 

 it does well under adverse circumstances and pleases the most critical 

 market gardeners. It has become a general favorite with market 

 gardeners everywhere on account of adapting itself to all soils and con- 

 ditions. Our stock of this superb strain is grown by the originator in 

 Denmark. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; \ pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.

EARLY. SUMMER CABBAGE. 



HENDERSON S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 



132 Henderson's Succession 



The introducers say of this cabbage : "We consider it one of our most 

 valuable contributions to horticulture. It shoujd be classed as asecond 

 early variety, coming in a few days later than Early Summer, but it is 

 superior to that variety. It Is of nearlv double the size, and is abso- 

 lutely true to its type under all conditions. It is so finely bred that in 

 a field of twenty acres every head appears alike." 



It is a very handsome cabbage in make up and habit of growth, as 

 well as high bred in quality. The heads are deep and very firm; a long 

 keeping variety. A reliable summer or winter sort. 



Packet, 10 cts; ounce, 30 cts.; 14 pound, 85 cts.; pound, $3.00. 



THE VOLGA CABBAGE.

This grand cabbage is a great acquisition. In a field of several acres 

 frequently not a single plant shows any variation from a true and valu- 

 able tvpe! as the heads are of about equal size and shape: weighing 

 from I2 to 15 pounds each, round as a ball. The heads are e.Kceptionally 

 hard and solid, and stand a long time before bursting. Light grayish 

 green in color. Very attractive. A splendid drought resister.
