An average head of Johnson & Stokes' Market Gardeners', No. 2, the earliest and most compact of all large cabbages. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' mWT GflHDEflEHS' CflBBRGE, flo. 2. 



In this excellent new variety we have undoubtedly the earliest and most compact of all 

 large cabbages. For several years the originator had sold the seed to growers in Northern New 

 Jersey, at |2.oo per ounce. In 1888, we purchased the variety and his entire crop of seed, and first offered 

 it for sale in the spring of 1889. Many prominent gardeners who are now growing it almost exclusively 

 pronounce it the very best of all cabbages as a second early and summer market sort. It is so 



hardy and vigorous that it can be set 

 much earlier than Jersey Wakefield or Early 

 Summer, and comes in as early as the 

 Wakefield, and two weeks earlier than 

 Early Summer or any other round or flat- 

 headed variety ; at the same time it produces 

 fine, solid heads, double the size of Jersey 

 Wakefield, and one-half larger than Early 

 Summer. Could anything more be wished for 

 in an early market cabbage ? On the other 

 hand, when planted for a fall or winter crop, 

 there is no other cabbage which will with- 

 stand the summer sun so well, and is so sure 

 to form large, deep, solid heads, of qual- 

 ity equal to the best. When stored for winter 

 they keep perfectly until very late in the 

 spring, coming out in fine salable condition. 

 Such a cabbage is Johnson & Stokes' 

 Market Gardeners' Cabbage, No. 2, 

 and all who have not yet given it a trial will, 

 after growing it, be as enthusiastic in its 

 praise as we are. Try some of the best 

 seed of the very best cabbage in 

 cultivation. Pkt, 15c.; oz., 50c.; X lb.,
