THAT /MARKET GARDENERS CAN DEPEND UPON. 



There is nothing of grreater importance to the market gardener than reliable cabbage seeds. We need say nothing to 

 those who have purchased our cabbage in former seasons, as to them its high quality is already known. To those who have 

 never tried us, we can only say that our cabbage is all home grown, and every grain of seed produced is from carefully- 

 selecled heads, and our stocks are unsurpassed in this country. We annually supply hundreds of the best market gardeners 

 around Philadelphia, New York and other large cities of the Union. This fact alone is an evidence of high quality. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' EARLIEST CABBAGE. 



This now famous variety gives us as great satisfaction as 

 any of our new introductions, and no one can possibly be 

 disappointed with it. We have supplied several hundred 

 pounds to some of the best market gardeners in the United 

 States, and have received hundreds of letters pronouncing it 

 the most prufilable cabbage they have ever grown. It is ten 

 ■days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield and the French 

 Etampes, which have heretofore been considered the earliest 

 •of all cabbages, and is unsurpassed in fine quality, qreat beauty 

 and vifior of growth. The accompanying engraving, which 

 "we had made from a photograph, shows its exact shape, 

 "which is slightly conical, and remarkalili/ large and solid. It 

 lias veryfew outer leaves, and willproduce agreater crop, on 

 the same area of ground, than any ordinary variety, from the 

 fact that it can be planted closer together. It is by all odds 

 the most desirable early cabbage ever introduced, Pkt., 

 15c.; oz., 40e.; % lb., $1.2.5 ; lb,, $4.00, by mail, post-paid. 



A. R. Searles, Port Henry, N. \., . "Your 



recommendation of J. & S. Earliest Cabbage hardly does 

 justice to its merits. I set 1.500 plants in May last and 

 in sixty days I delivered good sized marketable heads 

 to my customers. It is twenty days earlier than any I ever 

 saw." 



C. W. Pressell, Derry Sta., Pa., writes; "J. & S. 

 Earliest Cabbage was ready for market in just eighty-six days 

 from sowing, and the Lentz Beet in seven weeks. They are 

 wonders." 



Chas. Borchert, Petersburg, 111., writes : " The J. & S. 

 Earliest Cabbage was true to representation. I had the first 

 and best in this market, full two weeks ahead of all other 

 cabbage." 



BI. Yakely, Pittsfield, 111., writes : "Johnson & Stokes' 

 Earliest Cabbage is beyond doubt the earliest in cultivation. 

 Planted side by side with the Early Jersey Wakefield, and 

 set out at the same time, it was ready for market ten days 

 ahead."
