THE CAROLINA HARD HEADER CABBAGE. 



This distinct late cabbage was originated in Buncomb County, North Carolina, where it has had a great reputation, the 

 seed frequently being sold by local gardeners at the rate of $15.00 to $20.00 per pound. An old gardener, in describing this 

 cabbage says : "It lieads as sure as the sun rises." It grows good sized heads, round, slightly flattened on the top, and very 

 Iiard, averaging fifteen to twenty-five pounds each. It has a very short stock or stem, and is darker green in color than any 

 other cabbage of its class ; earlier than the best strains of Late Flat Dutch. While it is the most reliable hard-heading cab- 

 bage for tlie South, we find it equally valuable for the Middle States, having tested it for five successive seasons on our Trial. 

 Grounds. The seed we otfer is also grown on our Pennsylvania farm. Cabbage growers Tvill make no mistake in^ 

 planting it largely, as it leaves nothing to be desired. Pkt., lOc; oz.. 30c.; 2 oz., oOc; I4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 



GENUINE SUKBHEAD. This popular cabbage 

 is rightly named Surehead. It never fails to 

 make aremarkably fine, solid, largehead, with 

 few outer leaves, as shown in our illustration. It 

 originated 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 uniform in 

 size and color. Our supply is grown from the original 

 seed, and none 6e(kr is to be had at any price. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 25c.; i^lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50; 2 lbs., $4.50. 



BRIDGEPORT DRUMHEAD. This is the 

 standard shipping cabbage around Chicago, where 

 local growers have paid as high as $20 per pound for 

 the seed in seasons when scarce, and will raise no 

 other. It makes a large, even, firm, round head, 

 seldom rots or bursts, and is unquestionably one of 

 the finest shipping cabbages grown. Extra selected 

 seed. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; I4 lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50.
