Siigh SBred Jtmerican proton Cabbage Seed 



To market gardeners generallj^ no vegetable is of greater importance than the cabbage ; and to 

 many growers the success or failure of this crop means gain or loss for the year. It does not pay, there- 

 fore, to take any risks in buying seed. Much of the seed commonly sold has not had the great care 

 necessary in growing to make it reliable Our Cabbage Seed is the very best that can be grown, raised 

 only from the centre shoots and from carefully selected solid heads. Our crops are all personally in- 

 spected with untiring care and watchfulness. As a standing evidence of its quality, we annually supply 

 hundreds of the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other large cities.

JOHNSON & STOKES EARLIEST CABBAGE.

^ — all J'lrst oarly Labbages 



No woi-ds of praise can be written that would recommend this most desirable cabbage too highly. 

 It is to-day more largely planted by market and private gardeners all over the United States than any 

 other first early cabbage known. It gives every market gardener who plants it complete control of the 

 early markets, and is everywhere pronounced by them the best and most profitable first early cabbage. 



It is ten day.s earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, and is unsurpassed in fine quality, great 

 beautv and vigor of growth. The heads are slightly conical, large, solid and uniform in growth. Prices, 

 pkt., i5c.; oz., 40c.; \ lb., $1.25 ; lb., §4.00 ; 2 lbs., . 

 $7.50 ; 5 lbs. and over, $3.50 per lb., postpaid. 



Johnson & Stokes' Sarly Jersey 

 'Wakefield 



"While this sort is not so early as Johnson <fe Stokes' 

 Earliest, it will be found to be the very best conical 

 headed sort to come in immediately after it. Unfortu- 

 nately the great demand for Jersey Wakefield has 

 brought upon the market large quantities of coarse and 

 iuferior stock, which has tended to diminish the popu- 

 larity of the sort ; but "n-hen pure home-grown slock, 

 such as we offer, is used, it caimot fail to give perfect sat- 

 isfaction. Leading market pardeners around Philadel- 

 phia, New York, Boston and elsewhere, pronounce our 

 improved strain "the verv best thev can get." }'kt., 

 10c.; oz., 25c.; \4, lb., 70e.; lb., $2.25; 2 lbs. for $4.00, post- 

 paid.

 field Cabbage 



We were one of the first seedsmen to introduce this 

 now popular market cabbage. It is five to six days 

 later than Early Jersey Wakefield. The heads are 

 nearly one-half larger and very solid. It is very com- 

 pact in growth, and can be easily planted in rows two 

 feet apart and twenty inches in the rows. One great ad- 

 vantage both for the market and liome gardener is that 

 it docs not burst open when ripe, like many other early 

 sorts, and consequently can be left standing on the 

 ground a long while without injury, until a favorable 

 opportunity for cutting. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; 34 lb., 75c.; 

 lb., S2.50; 2 lbs. for S4..50, postpaid.
