NEW DIAMOND WINTER CABBAGE. 
In the New Diamond Winter Cabbage, offered for 
sale last spring for the first time, we have a strain entirely 
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 and unremitting care to 
select and fix this truly fine type of winter cabbage. 
The New Diamond Drumhead combines all those qual- 
ities so desirable to an experienced gardener to render a late 
cabbage perfect in every respect, viz: size, weight, quality, 
sure-heading and along Keeper. It grows very compactly, 
the stem is short and it can be planted closer together than 
any 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; they grow very uniform in size 
and shape and presenta handsome 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.
