The Latest Cabbage 
of Them All. 
This excellent cabbage is in very wide 
mee and thousands of my friends tes- 
tify to its value. It is at least two weeks 
/later than any strain of the Late Flat 
| Duteh type. In solidity it is almost as 
y hard asthe renowned Danish Ball Head. 
” | It is very compact in habit of growth, 
| the leaves closely surrounding and over- 
‘lapping the head. The shape and ap- 
pearance are shown in the illustration. 
In size the Houser cabbage will aver- 
lich | age about 12 pounds at maturity, and the 
heads are uniformly handsome. The 
shape is round and deep, as indicated ; 
It | and when a head eracks or bursts it is 
tS | always at the stem end, which does not 
destroy its use for market. 
_ In quality the Houser cabbage equals 
1ip. || the best, being very free from the coarse 
‘e|\ribs found in most late sorts. In fact, I 
' would say that the Houser cabbage is 
\very well bred, and in the careful trials

ently with all other late sorts. It isastrong, vigorous grower, In respect to its keeping qualities, in winter storage, IP

IMMENSITY LETTUCE. 
aS ~ : This new lettuce is claimed to be with- 
s out exception the very largest lettuce in 
ae ZINN CG cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 
size it is tender, sweet and crisp. It pro- 
duces a fine large, solid head, often 3 feet 
in circumference and 12 inches in diam-— 
eter. It has great heat resisting qualities, 
being slow to run to seed, so that it is very 
reliable for a late crop when many other 
sorts are unfit for use. Do not be preju- 
diced on account of the great size of Im- 
} mensity, as it is not coarse, even the outer 
leaves being tender. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
20 ets.; } pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00.
