To market gardeners general]}' no A-egetable is of greater importance than tlie cabbage; and to- 

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

 fore, to take any risks in buying seed. !Miich 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 need only say 

 that we annually supply hundreds of the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, 

 Boston, Charleston, Xorfolk and other large cities.

JOHNSON <fe stokes' EARLIEST CABBAGE. 



The Earliest and Hardest 



Heading of all First 



Early Cabbages 



JOIIIISOII i STOKES' EDIILIEST 



No words 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 bj' them the best and most profitable first early cabbage. 



It is ten days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, and is unsurpassed in fine quality, 

 great beauty and vigor of growth. The heads are slightly conical, as shown in photograph above, large, 

 solid and uniform in gi-owtli, and of the finest qualitv- Prices, post-paid: pkt., 10c. ; oz., 40c.; } lb., $1.25 ;

JOHNSON & STOKES' SELECTED EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD 



While this sort is not so early as Johnson & Stokes' Earliest, it will be found to be the very best 

 conical headed sort to come in immediately after it. Unfortunately the great demand for Jersey Wake- 

 field has brought upon the market large quantities of coarse and inferior stock, which has tended to 

 diminish the popularity of the sort ; but when pure home-grown stock, such as we offer, is used, it can- 

 not fail - give perfect satisfaction. Leading market gardeners around Philadelphia, New York, Boston 

 and elsewhere, pronounce our improved strain " the very best they can get." Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 25c.; I lb., 

 70c.; lb., §2.25 ; 2 lbs. for §4.00. 



THE CHARLESTON OR LARGE WAKEFIELD CABBAGE 



We were one of the first Seedsmen to introduce this now popular market Cabbage. It is five to six 

 days later than Early Jei'sey Wakefield. The heads are fully one-half larger, not so pointed and very 

 solid. It is very compact in growth, and can be easily planted in rows two feet apart and twenty inches 

 in the rows. One great advantage both for the market and home gardener is that it does 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.; i lb., 70c.; lb., §2.25.
