LATE CABBAGES AND RED CABBAGES. 
MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH. 
MARBLEHEAD MAMMOTH.-—This enormous cabbage excels in 
size all other varieties. Under high culture it has reached the enor- 
mous weight of 50 to 60 pounds per head, with a diameter equal to that 
of a 2-bushel basket, while 30 pounds per head is by no means rare. If 
you wish to have the biggest cabbage in the whole neighborhood this is 
the variety to plant. 
is delicate and excellent. It is well adapted to the South, and is in favor 
there, and is considered one of the most desirable varieties of late cab- 
bage for warm latitudes. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
/ STONEMASON.—This is a very popular variety among New Eng- 
- land growers, being a sure header. It makes a deep, round and very 
hard head, the outer leaves arching above it handsomely. In reliability 
for heading, no cabbage surpasses it. It gives general satisfaction, and 
yican recommend it. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
THE LUPTON.—Lhis spiendid cabbage, which I introduced some 
years ago, originated in a field of Flat Dutch, on the eastern end of Long 
Island, in a district famous for growing cabbage seed. It bids fair to 
equal, if not surpass, anything in America. (See specialties.)

(NEW RED POLISH 
SHORT-STEMMED. — 
This new red cabbage is 
the best of its type. It is 
a vigorous grower and 
quite hardy. The heads 
are of a dark red color, 
and are extremely firm 
and heavy. The stem is 
short, and there are but 
few outer leaves, and it, 
therefore, requires only 
a moderate amount of 
room in the row. The 
quality of the cabbage is 
excellent, and I feel able 
to recommend it highly. 
The outside leaves are 
somewhat crumpled at 
the edges, giving the 
plant a pleasing and 
rather ornamental ap- 
pearance. The well- p Se ae Sper 
shaped head is shown in NEW RED POLISH SHORT-STEMMED. 
the illustration. Some of the smaller red cabbages have leaves so 
spreading as to actually require more room for growth than this one. 
New Red Polish is the most profitable sort with which I am acquain- 
ted, and will prove satisfactory in all respects to grower, cook and 
pickle maker. Pkt., 5 cts.; 0z., 25 ets.; 14 lb., 75 cts.; 1b., $2.50. 
yY IMPROVED DRUMHEAD SAVOY. — The Savoy cabbages are 
noted for their fine and delicate flavor. The leaves are wrinkled in a 
peculiar and characteristic manner. The heads in this strain of Savoy 
are large and very compact, and of a most attractive appearance. It is 
an excellent winter keeper, and I commend it to market gardeners and 
,amateurs. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 4% pound, 60 ets.; pound, $2.00. 
FELDERKRAUT.—This is a German variety combining so many 
good qualities that it should be planted by all cabbage growers. It is 
especially desirable in making kraut, and is extensively grown for 
that purpose. It is a sure header, and the heads are very large and 
solid. It is hardy and thrives well anywhere. Recommended to all 
desiring a pointed head variety adapted to both early and late plant- 
ing. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. 
MAMMOTH RED ROCK.—The hardiest and largest heading red 
cabbage in cultivation, heads often weighing 12 pounds each. A sure 
cropper. Successful Long Island growers prefer this to all other red 
cabbages. True seed of Red Rock has been scarce for years, as it is a 
shy seeder; but I have harvested a fair crop of the genuine article. = 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 4 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

Compare my prices with other reliable houses and vou will 
find, notwithstanding short crops of some things, I have 
aavanced few varieties above the figures of former years.

BRUSSELS SPROUT ‘i A variety of cabbage 
producing small heads

CULTURE.—Much the same as cabbage. Excessive stem 
growth should be avoided by planting in good but not ex- 
tra rich soil. Sow seed in April in the open ground, and 
set in rows 38 feet apart, 18 
inches apart in row. Sow- 
ing in June will produce a 
late autumn crop of sprouts, which 
may be wintered under corn fodder or 
other coarse litter. Break the leaves 
off the stem to encourage formation of 
the heads. 1 oz. of seed yield 4,500 plants.
