Johnson & Stokes’ New 
Wonderful Cabbage. 
When we introduced our now famous Johnson & 
Stokes’ Earliest Cabbage some years ago, we thought we 
had reached the top of the ladder of extreme earliness in 
the cabbage family. Encouraged by the phenomenal success 
of that variety, our motto always being “onward,” induced 
us to try again, and by persistent selection’ for several 
years of the very earliest heads of that variety, we have pro- 
duced a new and improved strain of our celebrated cabbage, 
which produces fair-sized, good, marketable heads in 
seventy-five to eighty days from sowing the seed, and 
outdoes it in earliness by six to ten days. This makes our 
New Wonderful Cabbage more than two weeks ahead 
- of any known variety, except Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest. 
Market gardeners can, of course, realize what a bonanza this 
is to the pocket-book of a cabbage grower, in the spring 
markets. It does not, of course,form quite so large or solid a 
head as our Earliest, but in all other respectsit fully equals 
it It has few loose outer leaves, and every plant forms a 
good head. The head is well depicted in our illustration 
above, takenfrom Nature. It will produce alarger crop than 
any other yariety, from the fact that it can be planted closer 
together. For want of a more expressive name we have 
called it our Wonderful Cabbage, and believe that every 
customer who plants it will agree with usin pronouncing it 
a perfect wonder. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 40c.; 14 1b., $1.25; Ib., 
$4.00; 2 lbs., $7.50, by mail post-paid.

NOW IN THE SEVENTH YEAR OF ITS 
GREAT POPULARITY, WITH DEMAND 
GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE, 
This now famous variety gives us greater satisfaction than 
any of our new introductions, and no one ean possibly be dis- 
appointed with it. The demand for the seed the past three 
years has been really marvellous. We have supplied it to 
more than 5,000 market gardeners, among them some of the 
largest growers of cabbage in the U. S., and have received 
hundreds of letters pronouncing it the most profitable cabbage 
they have ever grown. We doubt if there has ever been a 
novelty introduced in America which has given such wniver- | 
sal satisfaction, and been so highly commended in every par- | 
ticular, and in all sections. It is ten days earlier than Early 
Jersey Wakefield and French Etampes, which have heretofore 
been considered the earliest of all cabbages, and is unsurpassed 
in fine quality, great beauty and vigor of growth. Above engray- 
ing, made from a photograph, shows its exact shape, which 
is slightly conical, and remarkably large and solid. It has very 
few outer leaves, and will produce a greater crop, on the 
same area of ground, than any variety excepting The 
Wonderful Cabbage, from the fact that it can be planted 
closer together. It is by all odds the most desirable early 
cabbage ever introduced. No words of praise can be written 
that would recommend this most valuable cabbage too 
highly. Pkt., 10c.: oz., 40c.; 14 1b., $1.25; lb., $4.00; 2 Ibs., 
$7.50 ; 5 Ibs., $18.00, by mail post-paid.
