NEW DIAMOND WINTER CABBAGE. 



In this fine new cabbage we have a strain entirely distinct from any otlier. It is a cross between our celebrated Short 

 Stem Drumlie^id and Danish Round Winter. It grows very compact, the stern is sliort, and it can be planted closer together 

 than any other late variety. The heads will average from fifteen to eigliteen pounds in weight after tliey are trimmed for 

 market; they grow very uniform in size and shape, and present a handsome appearance, as shown in our photograph above. 

 They are extra hard and solid, soniewh;it flittened on top, are always of tlie finest possible quality and sure to head. Plct., 

 lOc; oz., 30e.; M lb., 90c.; lb., $.3.25 ; 5 lbs. and over, $3.00 per lb. 



THE CAROLINA H.4RD HEADER. This distinct 

 late cabbage was originated in Buncombe County, North Caro- 

 lina, where it has had a great reputation, the seed frequently 

 being sold by local gardeners at the rate of $15.00 to $20.r"o 

 per pound. An old gardener, in describing this cabbage, 

 says: "7< head's assure ns the sun rises." It grows good sized 

 heads, round, slightly flattened on the top, and very hard, 

 averaging fifteen to twenty-five pounds each. It has a very 

 short stock or stem, and is darker green in color than any 

 other cabbage of its class; earlier than the best strains of 

 Late Flat Dutch. While it is the most reliable liard-}ieading 

 cabbage for the South, we find it equally valuable for tlie 

 Middle States, having tested it for si.K successive seasons on 

 our Trial Grounds. The seed we offer is also grown on our 

 Pennsylvania farm. Cabbage growers will make no 

 mistake in planting it largelv, as it leaves nothing to be 

 desired. Pkt., lOc; oz., 'J.5c.; 34 lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50. 



GENUINE SCREHEAD. This popular cabbage is 

 rightly named Surehead. It never fails to make a remarka- 

 bly fine, solid, large head, with few outer leaves. Itorigin- 

 ated some years since with a practical market gardener, by 

 crossing the Flat Dutch and Drumhead varieties, and has 

 always brought the highest price in our markets. It is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, ripening late for a main crop, and 

 very uniform in size and color. Our supply is grown from 

 ihe original seed, and iitme beiler is to be had at any price. 

 Pkt.,.5e.-; oz., 20c.; >41b.,65c.; lb.,S'2.25; 2 lbs., $4.00. 



PREMIUM FLAT DUTCH. This old variety is yet 

 largely grown for late ormain crop, being a favorite winter 

 market variety. Heads very large, solid and broad, with flat 

 tops, of fine flavor and quality ; very short stems. Pkt , 5c.;

GERMAN EXPORT. During the past few years we 

 have had numerous requests from market gardeners and cab- 

 bage growei-3 for the seed of the imported German Cabbage 

 so frequently seen in our markets late in the season, and 

 which, owing to its great solidity and handsome appearance. 

 Bells at higher prices than American sorts. We at last suc- 

 ceeded in obtaining a quantity of this seed from a reliable 

 German grower, which we sold last season to our customers. 

 All reports received pronounce it one of the finest main 

 crop and winter cabbages, and, notwithstanding its for- 

 eign origin, seems to have succeeded in all sections of the 

 United Slates where grown. Pkt., lOc; oz., 45c.; 2 ozs.,75c.; 

 \i lb., $1.25; lb., $4..50. 



JOHVSON & STOKES' SHORT-STEM DRUM- 

 HKAD. This improved variety /arsi'r;)assfs the old strain 

 of Large Late Drumhead Cabbage, ripeuingeariier, with very 

 short stock or stem, forming larger and thicker heads, of fine 

 quality and the best of keepers. Owing to our long-con- 

 tinued selection of the finest heading plants for seed for 

 several years past, this variety is remarkable for reliability 

 of heading ; every one who plants it can expect at least ninety- 

 eight large solid heads from every one hundred plants. Our 

 customers in all sections wliere many varieties fail to head, 

 will find the Short-Stem Drumiiead a sure thing, and can 

 depend on big crops everv time. It heads the list of the win- 

 ter Drumheads. Pkt., idc; oz., 35c.; 2oz.,60c.; Jilb., $1.00; 

 lb., $3 00; 2 lbs., $.5.50, postpaid. 



BRIDGEPORT DRUMHE4D. This is the standard 

 shipping cabbage around Chicago, where local growers have 

 paid as high as $20.00 per poimd for the seed in seasons when 

 scarce, and will raise no other. It makes a large, even, firm, 

 round head, seldom rots or hursts, and is unquestionably one 

 of the finest shipping cabbages grown. Extra selected seed. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c; J41b., 60c.; lb., $2.00.
