June to October. : 
Best of all for Warm Weather 
This grand intermediate sort, bridg- 
ing the interval between the spring 
and autumn cabbages, matures soon 
- after Early Summer, producing 
~ much larger heads, of unsurpassed ¢ 
'~ beauty and solidity. It has a note- 
— worthy compactness of growth, 
which permits close planting. In- 
z deed, as many plants may be set to 
= the acre as of the apparently smaller 
% Early Summer cabbage. 
Y Midsummer is a remarkably sure 
and uniform header, and is one of 
the most profitable market varieties 
= in existence. It is one of my favor- 
- ites, and I particularly recommend 
= it for home use and for sale from 
June until October. It closely re- 
e sembles Gregory’s All Seasons, and = 
~ like that variety originated on Long — 
% Island. It is a truly fine summer ,

Maule’s Midsummer Cabbage has ,,

and hearty endorsement, and I do

THE CELEBRATED LUPTO 
) A Grand Leading Main Crop Sort of my Introduction. 
The Only Real Rival of the Famed Surehead. 
Again I present the great Lupton Cabbage as a 
: NW | Qs leading novelty. Nothing among the new sorts 
{ Yi \S \ \\ \ can approach it in merit and productiveness. No 
yy y \\ JAN other late cabbage (except Surehead) can rival it.

“It holds the place of honor among my cabbage 
trials, just as it has done every year for a decade. 
Lupton has some of the best traits of Surehead, 
with the size and general shape of Maule’s Prize 
Flat Dutch; but is several days earlier than the 
latter. Its growth is particularly strong and vig- 
orous. Its coloris a dark bluish green, indicating 
robust constitution and healthy development. 
The leaves are broad and well filled out to their 
juncture with the stem. The stem is short, and 
broad under the head, ue peners = a a 
: oint where it enters the ground. 1e head is 
\F¥A thick and flat, with the outer leaves covering it 
well across the centre. It is very large, solid, and 
Four-Leaf Clover GUARANTEED SEEDS. Address allo 
iy, of the most excellent quality and flavor, without 
by any features of coarseness, the veins and ribs be- 
Uf ing well developed, but not prominent. 
The Lupton cabbage began its career in 1888, on 
the eastern end of Long Island, in an extensive 
cabbage growing district. The originator, whose 
name the cabbage bears, is undoubtedly the largest 
grower of first class cabbage seed in America and 
every prominent seed firm in the country considers 
him an authority on this important subject. In 
the autumn of 1888 a single specimen of a new 
Strain of cabbage was found growing as a sport 
in a field of Late Flat Dutch. Mr. Lupton, whose 
long experience qualifies him to act as an expert 
judge, at once recognized a prize in the new sort, 
and thus the Lupton cabbage had its origin. 
I was given the privilege of associating the 
= name of the originator with the new Strain, a 
privilege which Mr. Lupton would never have 
granted except in case of a Strain in which he had 
the utmost confidence, and Ican say that it de 
serves, equally with Surehead, the celebrated de 
scriptive phrase, “all head and always sure to 
head.”’ Lupton matures about a week in advance 
of the various strains of Late Flat Dutch, is an ex- 
cellent keeper, and for all purposes of the farmer 
and gardener, makes with Surehead the two best 
main crop cabbages now on the market.
