Early and Summer Varieties. 
One ounce of seed will produce about two thousand 
plants and sow a bed of about forty square feet. 
LOUDERBACKH’S ALL-YEAR ROUND CABBAGE. 
New and extra fine, equally good for early, intermediate or 
late. See Novelties, page 3. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 50c.; 14 lb., $1.50; 
Ib., $5.00. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. (Extra Selected.) 
This variety is a most important one, because it is planted for 
the main early crop. While it is not so early as Johnson & 
Stokes’ Earliest and New Wonderful, it will be found to be the 
very best sort to come in immediately after them. We offer 
the very finest strain of this valuable variety. Many of the 
leading market gardeners around Philadelphia, New York, 
Boston and elsewhere pronounce it ‘‘the very best they can 
get.” Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; 14 Ib., 80¢e.; 1b., $3.00. 
NEW LARGE OR CHARLESTON JERSEY WAKE- 
FIELD. About five days later than Early Jersey Wake- 
field. Heads are fully one-half larger and quite solid. It is 
very compact in growth and can be easily planted in rows 
two feet apart and twenty inches inthe rows. It does not 
burst open when ripe, like many other early sorts, and con- 
sequently ean be left standing on the ground a long while 
without injury, until a favorable opportunity for cutting. 
See cut below. Pkt., 10c:; 0z., 35¢.; Y4:lb., 90¢.; Ib., $3.60. 
SELECTED EARLY SUMMER. (Henderson’s.) The 
illustration below gives the true shape and compact habit of 
our strain of this valuable sort. It is ten or twelve days later 
than the Early Jersey Wakefield, but much larger in size 
and will stand on the ground much longer without bursting 
open. In this respect it is much superior to Fottler’s Bruns- 
wick. While the heads are much larger than the Early 
Jersey Wakefield, its very compact habit enables it to be 
planted almost as close. The heads are very hard and solid 
throughout and of fine uniform shape. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 25c.; 
14 Ib., 75c.; 1b., $2.75.

ALL-SEASONS. This new strain of Early Drumhead 
Cabbage we first offered to the public four years since, under 
the broad claim of being about as early as the Early 
Summer and growing much larger. Our best market 
gardeners say they find our claims are fully substantiated in 
every particular. It forms a fine, large, hard head, of 
superior quality, not bursting after heading; the heads are 
of great thickness, which make it a capital sort to keep 
through the winter. Pkt., 10c.; 0z.,30c.; 4 lb., 80e.; Ib., $3.00. 
EARLY BLEICHFIELD GIANT. It is seldom we 
are able to recommend a new foreign cabbage as highly as 
this variety. Since its introduction a few years since it has 
grown very popular with market gardeners as a second early 
and summer sort. Itisashortstemmed, large heading sort, 
tender and solid, ripening a few days earlier than Brunswick. 
Cabbage growers in all sections should not fail to give it a 
trial. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 25c.; 44 1b., 70c.; 1b., $2.40. 
VERY EARLY ETAMPES. This variety comes 
originally from France, where it is the earliest variety 
grown. Ripening a week later than Johnson & Stokes’ 
Earliest, and coming in a few days ahead of Wakefield, 
which, previous to the introduction of Johnson & Stokes’ 
Earliest, was considered the earliest ofall. It forms a good, 
hard, pointed head, with a very short stem, growing close to 
the ground. Pkt., 5e.; 0z., 20¢.; 4 Ib., 50e.; Ib., $1.75. : 
Early Drumhead. A second early, large, solid-heading 
variety. Pkt..5c.; 0z., 20e.; 14 Ib., 75e.; Ib., $2.50. 
FOTTLER’S IMPROVED EARLY BRUNSWICK. 
A splendid second early and late sort; short stem, large, 
solid heads. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 25¢.; 44 Ib., 70c.; Ib., $2.40. 
Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. A standard second early 
market variety. Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 20e.; 14 Ib., 75¢.; Ib., $2.50.
