PHOTOGRAPH OF AN AVERAGE BEAD OF ALL HEAD KARLY. 



AIili HEAD EAKLY. This Jiiie new variety originated 

 on Long Island, and was introduced by a brotlier seedsman 

 in 1891. Our critical field tests tlie past two seasons have been 

 SO satisfactory tiiat we decided to add it to our already large 

 list of fine cabbages. In a large field which we grew for seed 

 every plant formed a head fully as large as All Seasons, of 

 perfect and uniform shape, and fully as early as the best 

 strains of Early Summer. It is worthy a trial from every 

 gardener who plants a cabbage for summer use. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 oz.,30c.; }:ilb.,S-5c.; lb., S:i.OO. 



FOTTLEKS IMPKOVED EARLT BRUNSWICK. 



A splendid second early and late sort; short stem, large, solid 

 heads. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20e.; ]4 lb., 65e.; lb., $2.25. 



EAKLY AVINNINGSTADT. The Prussian Prize 

 Stock. Many consider the Early Winningstadt the very best 

 for early market sales, as it invariably grows very hard, and 

 will head on soils where many other sorts fail entirely. Re- 

 liable stock is hard to get, as seedsmen usually import it 

 from England and France. The seed we ofter, however, is 

 American groicn, acclimated and selected from the original 

 Prussian Prize Stock. Those intending to plant this variety 

 will find this strain far superior in earliness, size, solidity and 

 great uniformity of heading to anv otlier ever sold in this 

 country. Pkt , 10c.; oz., 20c.; % lb , 6ic.; lb., 32.25; 2 lbs., S4.00 



ALL SEASONS. This strain of Early Drumliead Cab- 

 bage we first offered to the public seven years since, under 

 tlie broad claim of being about as early as the Early Sum- 

 mer and growing much larger. Gardeners everywhere 

 say they find our claims are fully substantiated in every par- 

 ticular. .\s its name indicates, it can be planted at all seasons. 

 It forms a tine, large head, of superior quality, not bursting 

 after heading; the heads are of great thickness, which makes 

 it a capital sort to keep through the winter. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 

 25e.; 14 lb., 70c.; lb.,«2.40. 



EARLY BLEICHFIELD GIANT. It is seldom we are 

 able to recommend a new foreign cabbage as highly as this 

 variety. Since its introduction a few years ago it has grown 

 very popular with market gardeners as a second early and 

 smumer sort. It is a short stemmed, large lieading sort, ten- 

 der and solid, ripening a few days earlier than Brunswick. 

 Cabbage growers in all sections should not fail to give it a 

 trial. Pkt., oc; oz., 2.5c.; I41b.,70c.; lb., $2.40. 



VANDERGAAV ailD-SUMMER. This valuable variety 

 is t!ie result of many years' selection by Mr. Vandergaw, a 

 noted Long Island market gardener. In some respects it 

 resembles All Seasons, coming in about a week after Early 

 Slimmer, and making much larger heads than that well- 

 known variety. Heads are very uniform in color and size, 

 very solid, and in quality all tliat could be desired in a mid- 

 summer and winter cabbage. Long Island cabbage growers 

 have been annually paving Mr. Vandergaw $10 per pound for 

 the seed. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; '/i lb., 75c.; lb., 82.50.

LOUDERBACK'S ALL YTSAR ROUND. This cabbage 

 originated with Daniel Louderback, one of the oldest and 

 mostsuccessful of Philadelphia market gardeners, andhasliad 

 a great local reputation among his neighbors for several years. 

 It is not only the finest Early Druiulaead in cultivation, but 

 is equall.y as good for secoiid and third early, interme- 

 diate and late. It heads large, compact and solid, with 

 very short stem and few outer leaves, and unflagging under 

 the hottest sun or heaviest frost. It may be sown successively 

 and continuously during all periods when cabbage is planted. 

 The seed we offer was grown by the originator. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 oz.,40c.; hilb.,S1.25; lb., S4.0U. 



LOUISATCLLE DRUMHEAD. Thisis the most popular 

 intermediate or second early with market gardeners around 

 Louisville and the Southwest. It comes off medium early, 

 withstands heat to a remarkable extent, heads large, solid 

 and uniform in size and color. We can recommend this sort 

 verv highlv for the Southern and Middle States. Pkt., 10c.; 

 oz.,"25c.; .U lb., 70c.; lb., S2.40. 



The following well-known varieties of cabbage are each 

 5c. per pkt.: oz., 1.5e.; J41b.,40c.; lb,j;i.50: 



Deep Head Early, Peerless, Extra Early York,
