We have grown and fully tested this valuable new variety for several years past and offer the plants 

 to our customers with the greatest confidence in its merit. The leaf and plant are accurately shown 

 in our illustration above. The plant is of very large, strong growth, single plants covering a circular 

 space of nine feet in circumference in one season. It is perfectly hardy and a decided improvement on 

 the ordinary sage, a single plant producing eight to ten times as much, from being much larger. It is 

 also stronger in flavor and superior in quality, never running to seed. Price, 3 plants for 25c. ; 7 for 50c.; 

 15 for fi.oo, by mail, post-paid. 



New Diamond Winter Cabbage. 



In the NEW DIAMOND WINTER CABBAGE, now 



offered for sale 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 charac- 

 teristics 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 I/ong 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 qualities so desirable to an experienced market 

 gardener to render a late cabbage perfect in every 

 respect, viz : size, weight, quality, sure-heading, and 

 a long 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 

 Tery uniform in size and shape and present a hand- 

 some 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. 



PRICES : Pkt., 15c.; oz., 50e.; 34 lb., $1.75; lb., J6.0O.
