This valuable new variety is the re- 

 sult of many years' selection by Mr. 



■ Vandergaw, a noted Long Island mar- 

 ket gardener. In some respects it 

 resembles "All-Seasons," coming 

 in about a week after Early Sununer, 

 making much larger heads tlian that 

 well-known variety. Heads are ver.v 

 uniform iu color, and size, very solid, 

 and in quality is all that could be de- 

 sired in a midsummer and winter cab- 

 bage. Long Island cabbage growers 

 have been annually paying Mr. Vander- 

 gaw $10 per pound for the seed, and it 

 has never been ottered before this season 



, at a less price. Pkt., 15e.; oz.,40c.; ^Ib.,

 have of this variety is without doubt the very best to be

 spring, or for planting later iu the open ground, no stock sup- 

 plied by any other house can surpass it. It should never be 

 planted more than eighteen inches apart, each way. Pkt.,
