This very valuable new variety vs-as offered by us for the first time last spring. It has given 

 unbounded satisfaction in all sections and is pronounced by all prominent market gardeners who tried 

 it the very best of all cabbages as a second early and summer market sort. 



The originator has for several years sold the seed to neighboring growers in Northern New Jersey at 

 $2.00 per ounce, until we purchased his entire crops of seed in 1887 and 1888. In it we have a cabbage so 

 hardy and vigorous that it can be set much earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield or Early Summer and 

 will produce fine solid marketable heads, more than twice as large as Jersey Wakefield and one-half 

 again as large as Early Summer, and come in as early as the Wakefield, and two weeks earlier than Early 

 Summer or any other round or flat-headed variety. Could anything more be wished for in an early 

 market cabbage? On the other hand, when planted for a fall or vrinter crop, there is no other cabbage 

 which will withstand the summer sun so well, and is so sure to form large solid heads, the quality of 

 which is equal to the best, and when stored for winter and spring use, will keep perfectly until very late 

 in the spring, coming out in fine salable condition. 



Such a cabbage is Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, and all who give it a fair 

 trial will, after growing it, be as enthusiastic in its praise as we are. Try some of the best seed of the 

 very best cabbage in cultivation. Pkt., 20c.; oz., |i.oo; 34^ lb., J3.00 ; lb., fio.oo.

NOTHING TO EQVAL IT 



B. Brubmmer, Springfield, Ohio, Oct. 17, 188!), writes : 

 "I take great pleasure instatingthat your Market Gardeners' 

 Cabbage, No. 2, is one of the finest cabbages ever grown 

 around Springfield. I had it in market on the third day of 

 July, ahead of all others. It surpasses all early or late cab- 

 bages. No garden is complete without J. & S. Market Gar- 

 deners' Cabbage, No. 2," 



T. B. PiTTMAN, Thornton, Ind., Sept., 20, 1889, -writes: 

 "Your Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, is the best early 

 cabbage I have ever seen. I had it in the stores and market 

 liere away ahead of any other cabbage; every head was nice 

 and solid. I will plant no other for either early or late in 

 future." 



J. P. Senn, Ennoree, S. C, Oct. 11, 1889, writes: " Your 

 Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, is the finest of the fine, 

 and this is the opinion of every one else who sees it. We shall 

 want no other cabbage in this section ne.xt season." 



A. M. Fairhurst, Emerson, Ind., writes: "There is no 

 use talking, your newJ. &S. Market Gardeners', No. 2, beats all 

 I have ever seen. From ten different varieties I tried, this 

 excels all for early or late cabbage. It heads largest and of 

 finest quality, delicious flavor." 



B. TTnger, Mt. Carroll, 111., writes : " The .T. & S. Market 

 Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, cannot have too much said in its 

 favor, it is certainly the earliest in cultivation, with largest 

 heads and perfect in quality,"
