THAT MARKET GARDENERS CAN DEPEND UPON. 



There is nothing of greater iniportanee to the market gardener than rehable eablxige seeds. We need say nothing to 

 those who have purehased 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- 

 selected heads, and our st<^>oks are mi.surpassed 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.

One ounce of seed will produce about two thousand

'WONDERFUL 

 CABBAGE. 



JOHNSON &. STOKES' WONDERFUL. 



When we introduced our now famous Johnson & 

 Stokes' Earliest Cabbage some years ago, we thought we 

 bad reached the top of the ladder of extreme earliness in the 

 c.ibbage 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 produced a new 

 and improved strain of our celebrated cabbage, which pro- 

 duces fair-sized, good, marketable lieads in seventy-five 

 to ciglity days from sowing tlie seed, and outdoes it in 

 earliness by six to ten days. This makes our Ne^v TYonder- 

 fiU Cabbage more thantwo iveeks ahead of an.v known 

 variety, except Johnson & Stokes' Earliest. JIarket gar- 

 deners 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 respects it fully equals 

 it. It has few loose outer lea%es, and every plant 

 forms a good head. The liead is well depicted in our 

 illustration, taken from nature. It will produce a larger 

 crop than any other variety, from the fact that it can l>e 

 planted closer together. For want of a more expressive 

 name we have called it our 'Wonderful Cabbage, and be- 

 lieve that everj' customer who plants it will agree with us in 

 pronouncing it a perfect ■wonder. Pkt.,loc.: oz.,40c.; ^Ib..

Early Winningstadt Cabbage (Prussian Prize Stockt. 



EARLY ■mXNrXGSTADT, THE PRrSSIA^f PRIZE 

 STOCK. Many consider the Early Winningstadt the very 

 best forearly market sales, as it invariably grows very hard and 

 will head on soils where many other sorts fail entirely. Reli- 

 able stock is hard to get, as seedsmen usually import it from 

 England and France. The seed we oflTer, however, is 

 American-groivn, acclimated and selected from the original 

 Prussian Prize Slock. Those intending to plant this variety 

 will find this .strain far superior in earliness, size, solidity 

 and great uniformity of lieading to anv other ever sold in 

 this countrj-. Pkt., .5c.; oz., 20c.; }4 lb., 50c,; lb., S2.00. 



EARLY BLEICHEIELD GLVJs'T. 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. It is a short slemmed, 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., 5c.; oz.. 25c.; ^^ lb., 70c.; lb., S2.40. 



■^'ERY EARLY ETAMPES. This variety, comes 

 originally from France, where it is the earliest variety 

 grown. Ripening a week later than Johnson <fe Stokes' 

 Earliest, and coming in a few days ahead of Wakefield, 

 which, previous to the introduction of Johnson & Stokes' 

 Earliest, was considered the earliest of all. It forms a good,, 

 hard, pointed head, with a verv short stem, growing close 

 to the ground. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; J4 lb., 50c.; lb., 81.75. 



Early Drumhead. A favorite with market gardeners : 

 a second earlv, large, solid-heading variety. Pkt., 5c.; oz.. 

 20c.; ^\h.,15c.; lb., S2..50. 



EARLY PEERLESS. A variety almost as early as 

 Jersey Wakefield, forming much larger heads, very uniform 

 round shape, fine grained and tender, has few outer leaves. 

 Pkt.,10c.; oz.,30c.; i^ lb., 70c.; lb., S2.50. 



FOTTLER'S UIPROA'ED EARLY BRUNSWICK. 



A splendid second-earlv and late sort; short stem, large, 

 solid heads. Pkt., 5c.; "oz., 25c.; }i lb., 70c.; lb., S2.10. 



Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. A standard second early 

 market varietv, and has no superior, proJucing large, fine 

 heads. Pkt., 5e.; oz., 20c.; 3^4 lb, 75c.; lb., S2.50.
