WLate or Winter Cabbagesr*^r*^ 



DANISH BALL-HEAD CABBAGK. 



A very handsome and extremely liardy imported 

 cabbage, which is growing in popularily in America, liaving 

 proven one of our very best winter sorts. It is higlily 

 prized in Denmark, and grown there almost exclusively 

 for winter cabbage. The heads are of good, marketable size, 

 not quite so large as Flat Dutch, but very hard, round, fine- 

 grained and good keepers. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 25c.; ^4 lb., "5c.; 

 lb., S2..50. 



ROCK ttEAh WINTER C/13B/1QE 



AVhen we introduced our famous Matchless Late Flat 

 Dutch Cabbage, a few years since, we thought perfection 

 had been reached in late or winter cabbages. Not until our 

 attention was called to this sort did we find one that would 

 at all compete with it. In the Jfe^v Rock Head, however, 

 we believe it has a successful rival. It is of enormous size, 

 perfect shape, as shown in photograph below, and com- 

 bines all those qualities so desirable to render a late cabbage 

 perfect in every respect, viz.: size, weight, quality, sure 

 heading and a long keeper. We have received hundreds 

 of letters from growers of this cabbage, and there has been 

 but one Terdict from all — Kock Head the largest, most 

 solid and best selling cabbage ever grown. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz., SOc; Jilb., 85c.; lb., S3.C0. 



THE HIPTO:V CABBAGE. Originated by Mr. J. JI. 

 Lupton, the largest individual cabbage grower on Long- 

 Island, who writes us as follows: "I originated the Lnptoit 

 from a single early plant of a late variety ; it is between the 

 two in pointof size and season of maturity, coming in after 

 the second earlies and before the late— more thoroughbred 

 and holding color better than any late sort. It com- 

 bines the health and vigor of late sorts with the uniformity" 

 and sure heading qualities of the best second earlies. I 

 believe it will become the leading main crop cabbage."

AUTUHEV KING, or -WOKLD-BEATEK. A new 

 strain of late cabbage which is highly spoken of by all gar- 

 deners who have thus far tested it. The heads are of enor- 

 mous size and very solid. It has few outer leaves, and owing- 

 to this fact it is claimed that it will produce a greater weight 

 of crop from the same space of grounti than most other late 

 cabbages. Pkt., oc: oz., 20c.; I4 lb., 50c.; lb., 81.75. 



GE]NTJtNE SUKEHEAI). This popular cabbage i» 

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

 ably fine, solid, large head, with few outer leaves. It origin- 

 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 miiform in size and color. Our supply is grown from 

 the original seed, and none better is to be had at any price. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; i<lb...=i0e; lb., SI. 75; 2 lbs., S-S.OO. 



DIAMOND WrNTEK. Heads average fifteen to eigh- 

 teen pounds in weight. They are e.xtra hard and solid, some- 

 what flattened on top, alwavs of the finest possible quality 

 and sure to head. Pkt., 10c.; oz., SOc; ^j lb., 75c.; lb., S2.75. 



JOHNSON 6i stokes' MATCHLESS LATE FLAT DUTCH. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' MATCHLESS EATE FLAT 

 DUTCH. In this superior strain of late cabbage we believe 

 we have combined every good quality essential to perfection. 

 It is the result of several years' continued selection for our 

 seed stocks of the most perfect and largest heads, with low 

 stocks, and especially those that show gjeater earliness in 

 heading, with few outer leaves and a very uniform color. By 

 such persistent selection, year after year, we have a highly 

 improved strain, pronounced by experienced cabbage growei s 

 and market gardeners, who now grow it in preference to all 

 others for a main crop, the finest strain of late Flat 

 Dutch Cabbage in the world. It grows very large and 

 never fails to make aperfect, solid head, and is most uniform 

 in shape, size and color. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; ^Ib., 75c.; lb., 

 S2..50: 2 lbs., St.. 50: .=. lbs. and over,S2.00 per lb. 



PKEJirUM FEAT DUTCH. Largely grown for late 

 or main crop, being afavorile winler market variety. Heads 

 very large, solid and broad, with flat tops, of tine flavor and 

 quality ; very short stems. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 1.5c.; M lb., 35c.; lb., 

 SI. 25, post-paid: 5 lbs. and over, bv express, Sl.OOperlb.
